  1. I don't, that looks pretty happy and free to me, I like it!
  2. decided to drop in after all these years.. good to see the chassis is still out there trying something. keep up the work, good luck on your track days and lap times.
  3. from what I remember, they are longer by like an inch or two (not sure if it's just where the mounting points are for the longer suspension pieces). I remember doing testing and fitments a long time ago (many, it's been more than 10 years now) on this matter.
  4. blah, you dont have to.. but it is the cost effective way to get at least the rotors and not worry about anything else as you are paying for a quality rotor (lasted me plenty of miles on the track before I had to toss them away). the Polishing? I think you are thinking of "turning" or "resurfacing" the face of the rotor to get rid of the vibrations or imprints of the pad material on the surface. Typically I brake a little harder in a smooth fashion to resurface them.. if the vibration is too much, a couple of things could have happened: 1) they warped 2) they are worn too thin to the point where resurfacing them is a waste of money 3) lug nuts are loose I would check your brake pads.. some pads have a beveled edge to them, which helps slightly of removing the water when it's the initial contact of the pad to the rotor.. but that just goes away.. I never had "water" issues at all.. you would have to be driving in some really deep waters for actual water to hinder your braking.
  5. it's ok, but if you are street driving, you dont need the cross-drilled or even slotted brakes.. you are better off just driving around with full blanks as they dont eat up your pads as quickly. either case, you should just check your rotor thicknesses regardless, if you need to get rear ones because they are getting too thin, then you should get them replaced anyways.
  6. doh, my fridays just got booked up practically forever!! on the bright side, got my car back, clutch feel and clutch is all new to me.. the engagement point is so low!! will need to relearn how to drive this thing.. any chance of a Saturday meet some time?
  7. as it couldnt get any worse for me, the mazda 6 is also out of commission as of last night since it decided that it didn't want all the nice mobil 1 10w40 full synthetic oil all over every parking spot that I poured in the oil.. the oil filter housing is a total... FAIL!
  8. my car is at andrewtech right now getting a new clutch in place.. the throw-out bearing took a dump on me after 99,291 miles (of which 20k of that was on the track). The clutch itself is fine, but I wont know when I'll be getting my car back tomorrow night...
  9. I wont be around for this one fellas, I should be around for the next one.
  10. that's because you dont know the servers and the people that work at Ziki's well enough The bartenders all got me lit up last time.
  11. no more credit? that's funny. I wont be around guys.. got too much stuff to do prior to the weekend (and track weekend coming up).
  12. yea, it's my way to work of course.. cant stand driving on that parking lot called I-495. I'll try to make it, it's one of the few Fridays taht I dont have much to do. Wife gets off from work around 6pm from the metro, I can probably just pick her up from Twinbrook Metro and meet you guys at Fridays. Hope to see you guys there.
  13. yea, please let me know, some one PM me.. I've been MIA for a while now..
  14. check "rotor upgrades" or do a search on "racing brake rotors" that's where I have all the pics stashed for brake work
