Where have you been all my life, Mity Vac?!?!? I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one for my garage.
As I suspected, there was some air in my system after swapping out the calipers and lines. All better now.

Which one did you get. I am sick of the three person brake bleeding experiences.

needed to fix my post cause i was thinking luna bought the MightyVac as in vacuum cleaner. lol

as for mity vac im using the hand pump extractor (vacs liquid from the caliper) and their replenish bottle made for nissans.

i wasn't too fond of the push type where you pressurize the brake fluid reserve.

just got word from the wife that she was able to go downstairs by herself this pm.

huge milestone. (for those that dont know, she suffered back injury on Sat which kept her in bed the last 2 days).

yesterday i took the day off to look after her and taking the kids to summer camp, etc. and she was only barely able to sort of walk clinging to furnishings.

the saddest part for me was that i was driving the FitSport the last 3days. i was so f-king glad i took my G to work today.

Placed an order for some sheaths to cover my oil lines from my oil cooler. Plus some PCV breather hose. These are for aftermarket intakes and eliminates the stock intake resonators. Plus they look good even though I just ordered black. Will pick up this weekend.

Which sheaths did you order? I used heater hose that I slit lengthwise and secured iwth zip ties.

I know what you mean.. it just stuck out and I figured it may look a little cleaner this way.

Glad to hear about your wife as well, back injuries are serious...
