Why? Anything specific about the TL brakes? I remember vaguely on the Protege on the back of the caliper was a tiny ass screw that fucked me over for too long trying to figure out why the caliper wouldn't retract or something of the sort.

How's the tranny maintenance coming along, pb? Get another 3x1 done? I did a 3x1 last weekend since I was already under there doing an oil change. Tires and front brake pads are probably next for me.

Haven't touched the tranny again
Last weekend was mother's day weekend and it was supposed to rain on Saturday, but turns out I could have done it. This Saturday priority is brakes in the back because I'm tired of hearing them and while at it I'll do the front ones even though they'd still be good for a little while. Might take the time for another drain and refill considering jacking the car in the parking lot is the most annoying part of the job.

You forgot this one:











And the pile of others where I'm now spewing the grand vision and knowledge that the Honda Accord and Ford Mustang LOOK IDENTICAL.

Go Habs!!!

Are you just replacing the pads, or rotors too? If it's just pads, it's no big deal. If rotors too, you may have to pull the little rubber plug on the rear rotors and loosen the e-brake brake shoes. It's just a small sprocket that you can turn with a flat head.

Mandatory "morning" post from me I guess - shiieeet nice to wake up at 3 pm instead of 5 am for a change.

Yup, insane and you can tell me "told you so" when I do it

Need to go pick up all my crap stateside this week or next week so I can stop destroying my rear tires

And J - would a race cat welded in right after the J-pipe not take care of most of the PCD issues, i.e, rasp and smell? The rasp I'm not too worried about as that can easily be taken care of with a longer Magnaflow or Vibrant resonator

The smell concerns me somewhat more

Pads and rotors front and rear. Yeah ebrake I'm aware, heck I should have checked it prior to ordering from rockauto since it's broken on my car... but that also means technically jacking the car up and removing everything to check what's fucked with the ebrake in the first place. So I'll look at it this weekend and MAYBE order the necessary parts for a later time.

Thanks though, I don't foresee any issue except that I checked in my tools and couldn't find my brake bleeder and I'd like to swap out the fluid that's in there. There's a few tools I somehow managed to lose in a 10 x 3 space of shelves. I blame having to bring everything down from my 4th floor apt.
