Angry Well it looks like no racing tomorrow for me...

Just went out to Advance to pick up a few things and on the way home I noticed that the back brakes (drivers side I think) are starting to scuff when coming to a stop. I knew the brakes were going to have to be done here sometime soon, but I figured that with as little as I drive the car, that I could eek it out for a while longer.

It would probably stand one more track day... but I know with how my luck has been running, I'll probably trash the rotors and then really be in the hole with it!

Anyhow.. we might still just show up to spectate.... perhaps I'll run the Protege (OMFG j/k!!)

Considering I've never done them before... I'll pass on trying to get them done in time before taking it to the track

appreciate the offer bud....
I'd love to get them done tomorrow... but I'd definately need a set of expert hands to guide me.. and since I can't expect that from someone on short notice, I've already consigned myself to sitting this one out and watching.

remember the back pistons screw in....... not compress......


you can use a wrench and a towel(my way), or go buy the tool.............
