Busted knuckles
Cussing every word in existence
Throw 1 of the 4 seized rotors a distance 10 feet after removing

Changing brakes/rotors is not hard, but i found it very time consuming, especially since i have spacers, i had to find a way to remove the seized rotors/spacer using some nuts/bolts/washers and pushing them out from behind the rotors

Im ashamed to say it, but i think next time ill just take it to a shop

/vent over

Surprisingly enough, both my friend and I completed the full task totally unscathed. And since he doesn't cuss very much if at all, I didn't either. The only thing that sucked and I could have cussed about yesterday's project was the muggy nasty heat.

Installed Clazzio seat covers yesterday. Inexpensive upgrade for a 118,000 mile car.

Edit: Wrinkles gone from the driver's seat after a few days and tightening the straps. I frickin' love these things. Glad I didn't piss away money for Recaros.

It was a little eventful, but I had no instructions. Had to find generic instructions on line and they were only a little help.

And thanks to user pickardracing for hooking me up with these.

Flashed a slightly updated tune, not for performance, but to keep the P2096 and P2098 from coming back when I do sustained highway runs of 30 miles or more.

I ordered a tune from Specialty Z, super excited to get it.

You were lucky, man. I had no help except for bleeding the brakes. Enlisted the help of my grandfather, 83, for the task.

He looked happy after we were finished, either he liked the Z or was just glad that we were done

I detailed a thing...

TreeSemdyZee · 06-26-2017, 07:11 PM

Just installed a $12 license plate light backup camera. It's a brighter image than my $300+ Kenwood. Of course the Kenwood is 7 years old, so it's pretty old tech.
I bought the camera strictly for the light fixture and was going to fit my Kenwood camera into it. Plans have changed.

Kenwood:

The Kenwood has 5 different views and they all suck.

I just ordered the same camera how do you like it? I like the stealth mounting

The only thing that I miss from the Kenwood is all of the adjustability, but honestly this one is near perfect out of the box. Adjustability is worthless when you can't see anything clearly.
Waiting for it to get dark outside to see if the night vision is any good.

Went through my daily commute today, paying attention to any scrubbing or bottoming, and nothing. The only scrubbing is from the front wheel spats. Makes sense as I can barely get my big toe under it now since the install of the Ark GT-S springs.

The beast got an oil change today.
