Someone told me to request JoJo as well... I forget who! Marshall prolly haha. I was planning on it if I ever brought my car in for anything beyond a routine oil change (which I havent yet!)

so I got up at 4 to finish the floor because neither of us could sleep last night (probably knowing that we had to buff it in the morning). Anyway, it's looking pretty sweet...I think I'll get the toilet and sink in this weekend!!

BUT! At some point last night, I think one of the dogs went in the room and put a huge divot in one of the grout lines...hahaha... i'll have to touch that up when I do the shower...

Feel free to come down and have pictures taken but I would not count on them getting replaced. Mitsu sent out many bulletins explicitly stating not to replace calipers for fading. The rep will never let it fly. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

But like I said, if you want to give it a shot, feel free.


My calipers are peeling, and yes, over the years they have only slightly faded. But the slight fading is not my majon concern. The problem is that the calipers peeling and they should be replaced for this. Now, I have been given the run around from the other dealership here for almost 20k miles. I first notified them when the car was at 22k, now at 45k, even with a very good and established relationship between Service and the car owner, me. We pay a lot of money for a version of a "Lancer." This shouldn't happen. And Mitsu should honor the warranty that is part of the vehicle purchase. Every vehicle that comes with a factory warranty, the cost of projected warranty repair is factored into the price of the vehicle. So we all paid more for the car than what it actual is. Since we paid for a percentage of that toward projected warranty repair, we should be compensated by not having any contest over defective components. I shouldn;t have to explain to Mitsubishi why their product is defective and should be replaced by them. The failed/defective components speak for themsleves.

I do what Bill does, but for Volvo Cars, and I don't even stock the "Brembo' calipers that are on the "R" model S60's and V70's. And we have appx 5 owners of these cars that auto-x/HPDE these cars regularly. And in no way shape or form, are these calipers different then the day they bought the car. I am really shocked how these hold up, and the ones on our Evo's do not withstand the elements of even normal driving. My car has never been to any type of off road course. It has only been a street car for me.

I only stated my position, and don't take what I said personal. As it is not directed toward you in any way

Don't worry I don't take take anything personal

Maybe he did decide to replace them since they were peeling. either way I'm glad you got what you wanted.

Yes I did used to work at Herb Connolly. It most likely was me that did that Job, but it was so long ago that I don't really remember.

this is random, but remember we were trying to figure out if photoshop used the GPU at all davids?

looks like the answer is no, until CS4

Kinda funny you posted that. I have a bunch of tabs open right now regarding Adobe and CS4. I have to code something in Flash so I'm looking into what I need.

Yeah, that's what finally pushed me to the macbook instead of the pro... i was able to confirm that CS3 barely uses the GPU...it's essentially just for screen draw...
