I have the Cardone part numbers for rebuilt Akebonos if you are interested. You will need to either trim the backing plates or replace them and you will need new brake lines, both of which are available from Z1.

Now they aren't painted red, so that you are on your own for...
Yes I'd like the part numbers please. I saw the post that had P/N for them, but I think it only had the front calipers. I had so many tabs opened that day, I cant remember. Tha k you mr. Vette!

I really liked this video.Got me thinking how fast it is.
Lets say for an average bullet speed we use 2,500 Ft per second.Roughly 1,700Mph.
A knot is 1.15 Mph.
This Aircraft is quite a bit faster than a bullet.
Designed by guys with slide rules.Plane is retired.
Would like to see this at Air Shows where you can ride on retired Aircraft.LOL

I love leftovers. Pasta is the best when it's a day old. The sauce has a chance to soak in.

I guess certain dishes are ok. I can think of maybe one or two dishes that I can eat for a few nights in a row. But for the most part, I get bored with the same thing

Drug and software system reps were the best until they started cracking down on the "gifts" and what nots given to potential clients.

I hear that! We used to love it when our hardware vendors would stop by to do maintenance on their equipment. It meant having a very very expensive lunch..lol

When I was inbetween wifes. I used to make a stir-fry. Use either grilled chicken, pork or steak. Stir-fry my veggies, add my meat, cook a little longer with the veggies. At the same time. I would cook a box of pasta. Springs, or bow-ties. Cook for 12 minutes. When that was done. I would add the pasta to the meat and veggies. For a sauce. either stir-fry or Sweet and Sour. Add enough to suit your taste. That would make a big pot. I would eat this for about 3 maybe 4 days. It was just as good on the 3 day as the first.

Also, whenever we would have to travel for work that required a few days being away, we called that "time to gain some weight".. we were allowed 60 dollars a day in meals.. the guideline was to eat how you normally eat if you were at home. Why yes, I eat lobster for every meal, thank you!

My first wife was a purchasing manager for a large nursing home. She would get all kinds of gifts, including box tickets to the Steelers home football games. She had to turn all of it in. Then the upper managers would use them.

2nd wife was an office manager for a gas drilling company. She would get a lot of stuff too. Lunches, dinners. Which I went with her for some of them. Gifts, which she was allowed to keep. And invited to different events. One event was a sporting clays shoot. I bought her a 20ga youth model semi-auto Benelli shot gun to use for the event. She came home with 6 cases of shot gun shells for 12ga and 20ga. We also went to baseball games and football games. Vendors in the gas drilling business was throwing money around like there was no tomorrow for a while.
