Nice but i already threw one together weeks go. I just havent finished it by posting it. Ill go thru yours and see if you have any thing that i dont and try to get the one i made posted today to get rid of the abortion of a thread we have
#13
yeh i kind of wish i had made this before i installed my coilovers since i didn't realize there was already a coilover install DIY
btw i really think we should have all of these archived and the pics uploaded to the site
who knows when these old members might delete their photobucket account and all the pictures are gone.

yeah seriously. car forums are based around DIYs. and since the search sucks we need a good way to organize all of them. I am used to forums that have a section with articles or guides and all the information is archived with pictures uploaded to the website so it will be there forever and is very easy to access. these sections also usually have a section of important threads, faqs and the like. I'd much rather have that then having friends and people commenting me...

yes somebody already pointed that out plus i found another mislink but i can't really do anything about it. and our mega mod supposedly has his own that he said he was going to put up a week ago but we haven't seen anything yet. so thats why this one hasn't been stickied.

take off your rear wheel. and your rear rotor. you will see an adjustable knob for the parking brake at the bottom of the hub. turn that and try putting your rotor on. when you feel it rub just enough, turn the knob one time backwards to loosen it up one click and put everthing back together.
viola, parking break adjusted

Hey man, I thought the rubber plug on the rotor near the wheel stud could be removed and you can access the screw from there. Then turn your rotor until it grabs then back off a click or two. All without removing the rotor.
