I just need to flush my brake fluid and I'm good to go. I am still on the same tires as last year, which is a bummer, but I'm selling

I just need to flush my brake fluid and I'm good to go. I am still on the same tires as last year, which is a bummer, but I'm selling the car this year so there's no point in replacing them. I can easily take them all the way up to the limit. Too easily.

Same here but I'll be doing all my fluids. Good thing I have a mechanic who specializes in Zs for a friend. Also got to install my RaceLogic Traction control unit, new rear tires and maybe a new CBE.

I would definitely do the brakes. You might be fine on the stock pads depending on the speed, but given the age of your car you should at least change the fluid.

I mean I have a new set of pads and rbf600 sitting on my shelf that I bought but never used. checked last year and my pads were still at 75% on the fronts.

just seems like such a pain to do a full fluid change when I haven't had an issue yet with it. but then I weigh the opposite thinking what if because it's been another year and 10-15k miles if it's gonna be "that" time it'll go.

Luckily I don't have much to do this year. Diff fluid, engine oil, air filter. That's it.

Maybe new summer tires, but don't NEED them... just want them haha

When I had a oiled filter I would just buy replacements once a year so I didn't have to deal with washing and re-oiling.

I don't mind it since I have the recharge kit and it takes an hour to dry.

I'll rinse em out, let dry, oil and put in the next day. I don't pull my car out until late march typically so this is all down time lol

At the end of the day the M4 is ridiculously expensive, so I wrote it off. Plus, I already have a BMW like that, excluding the engine and suspension. I only have about $50k I'm willing to work with... the cheaper the better. It's just going to be a fun DD, so I don't really need something that will set the world on fire.

I know you hate them, but the new Mustangs offer a lot of value for very little money.
