The best is the ting you hear when they bounce off your exhaust from underneath.

Just wait. When you hear the critter rolling under the Z. After he passes out the back. You look and have a CEL. Stop the Z and look under it. You see 2 broken O2 plugs hanging down.

Pneumatic Brake Fluid Bleeder Tool with 4 Master Cylinder Adapters 90 to 120 psi

Disconnected the ABS connector vs disconnecting battery. Bleeding order is different than RR, LR, RF, and LF. Followed FSM and did RR, LF, LR, and RF. End to end, a little over an hour to complete.

Pretty dirty, glad it is done. Pedal was good before, but is noticeably firmer.
This one works well?

Ive been looking for one that wont break the bank... and go back and forth, the link you embedded didnt work, did you need anything in addition to this kit to complete the job?

Booked an appointment with a dealer for 530. Waited 26 min from the appointment to finally see sales rep.

Sign deal in 15 min.

Told need to wait about 10 min to see finance manager.

30 minutes past. Fk that.

Find sales rep to pull deal.

Manager comes over. I say i waited over 25 min on a booked appointment. And then 30 min on financer? Don't waste my time.

"Anything i can do?"

"Refund my deposit and let me be on my way.

Tells me hes sorry and shakes my hand.
Me: no, sorry for your loss.

Sales rep approaches me as we leave appologetic.

Nope. "You had an easy win. All you needed to do was sign and not waste my time ."

Tells me it hurts him personally too and how sorry he is.

Nope. "You messed up."

Get into the car and leave. (After being blocked in).

Rip pls any toronto dealer want my money? Lol

And yes. I realize i may be picky but i am not here to waste time. I respect that and expect the same in return.

I would have done the same thing. Don't reward bad business. True wealth is not having to put up with jerks.

+1, keeping a customer waiting like that shows apathy at best and contempt at worst. They don't deserve your hard-earned.

150 mile round trip today which included the installation of both upper and lower ported intake manifolds, throttle bodies which were bored out to 65mm, and the DRL wired to work all the time, including with the headlights on.

Before...





During...





After...
