      Johns hand will bleed off

      Tell that boy to log pressure vs. time, then come back and tell me what a bish I am.

      I have had my car sitting for a long time, and most of you know that i have. during that time i havnt lost any preassure from my hand brake. ive had my car parked on an incline for around 3 to 4 months and when i pull the car out of gear to start the motor, the car didnt move. i dont have any calculations of pressure vs time but i think its safe to say that the car will not roll away during the night or when youre at the store etc.

        This has not been my experience. 

        I lost my brakes twice on two separate cars in two days after a gentle application at parking lot speeds. 

        You never know when something is going to let go. 

        Just remember, your next pedal application could be your last........

          Gentle application....

            i might be worried if the original brake lines were still on the car but i replaced them so im not too concerned.

                It's Saturday, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who spent some time with my car. Installed the MTech skirts today. Was hesitant to drill holes in my rocker panels, but the install went very smooth. Thanks to straight6pwr for the install hardware. Now I've just gotta get some lower door trims. Need to paint the front and rear bumpers as well. ypegezep.jpg

                                  You have a 4.10 with all that power now?  I thought it was was too aggressive with the stock m20...  I believe Brian has a couple 3.25 difs that he is looking to get rid of with the shark car.

                                    I realized today that I will be needing a new water pump/ fan clutch in the near future. The temps creep up at idle.

                                      I found out i needed to replace my clutch fan the hard way when i didnt notice i had a softball sized hole through my radiator. And no fan blades left on my fan. :)

                                          I have this waiting for me when I get home. Left two weeks ago and literally pushed the axles in and shut the door haha. Started as just replacing a torn cv boot, things escalated quickly: rebuild front axles, steering rack, poly motor mounts, control arms w/m3 offset bushings, strut mounts, upgraded front drive shaft, new oil pan gasket, diffs tranny and transfer case flush, oil change, and just an all around cleaning. Almost ready for dd status.
