yeah so, fun times the other night driving home from the cape. coming home doing about 70-80ish, nothing too fast, but not exactly slow. all of a sudden i hear a noise at the same time it feels like something broke free in the rear left side of the car. so now the car decides to start drifting in the middle of the highway at 70-80 mph. yeah not so much fun going sideways, then turning the other direction going sideways, then back to the left going sideways. all i could think about was hitting the barriers or other cars. luckily the highway was pretty empty, and i managed to keep it pretty much in my lane. so i finally slow down and get to the break down lane, but can't see shyt without a flashlight. call AAA and get towed home. while it's on the wrecker, the driver notices that my left rear tire is being held on by 1 lugnut...........uh.....what? yeah, 1 lugnut....looks like someone might have been trying to steal the rims, but who knows. how the hell does that happen? yeah so that was my adventure......then my lawn mower broke when i was cutting the grass today, but that was less traumatic...just a bit
but seriously - you got lucky it didn't snap off, thats scary. I wonder who could possibly want your rims!? local mustang owner? j/k dennis.

fluid and lines from kns brakes / evobrakes,
rotorpros*com for the cheap rotors. i'm pretty sure that's what Jeff from CT runs (the yellow BSP evo)
and i got the magic pads from girodisc
in hindsight - i would go with the ferrodo ds2500 pads. and i'm still on the wall about what rotors i would get. too many people auto-x with rotor pros for me to justify getting a nice 2 piece rotor.

For next season, I'll be setting up with a slotted disc... likely rotorpros and the porterfield pads... but I do really want to add the Ti shims for heat shielding.
FYI, the SS lines are worth every penny...
And, we may want to bleed our lines after the two events... I may just do it this weekend to see how the fluid looks...

Let me know what you need.... maybe we could do a brake day for you guys without the SS lines. My powerbleeder makes life 1000 times easier when it comes to bleeding brakes.
And on that same day, we can finally install my SS clutch line!!!!!!
But seriously, I really need to do this, because if this does cure the lockout, than I may not need a twin just yet...
Remove pill, SS line, adjust clutch engagement FTW?

I need to do my 30K, and probably brakes-rotors,pads,lines,fluids..probably not for a few weeks...I have to decide on the setup and order it...just debating if I'm doing the autox in september...(which I am 99% sure I'm doing..)

i do have to do brakes "soon"... prolly just before it gets cold...
Yeah Marshall, we can take care of your SS line and restrictor and adjust the clutch engagement, no problem.
And as for Dex's brakes... it took about 2 hours to change rotors and pads and 2 hours to do lines and fluid bleed... Not fast, but not too bad...
The 30k is easy, too... about 1 hour per car... but i agree with Paul, I'd break it all up...
