I actually enjoyed doing the oil change on my Z, it was the 1st maintenance job I did on her.. Sooo much fun. And seeing the engine was damn near breath taking.

Yeah that's what he did last time. I should be able to do all or most of it by myself with Kirk just watching in case I need any help.

Yesterday, at Kirk's Garage, he and I installed my brake upgrade from Z nats.

It took a bit longer than we thought it would, but in the end, the brakes work wonderfully and look fantastic.

Look ma no wheels!



Brakes are on.



The doctor is in.



pretty pretty

The new brakes look great, Al.

Hey Kirk, do you think you could help me install some heat wrap? Shahid gave me a whole roll of the stuff.

I would, but I don't think heat wrap works on brakes.

It would take a bunch of that stuff to contain the 5.0 hotness.

Besides it is time for you to trade in that old sway back nag...

Kirk, I may need you to help me with swapping out some rear brake pads and rotors on my Eclipse, if you wanna give me a hand, that'd be cool. I gotta order them 1st though.
