ill eat after you leave, unless you show up late.. fridays are pizza night for me.. so if you need to go home and eat then come out thats fine.. 530? 6?

clee109

The boss says 7:30. Is that ok?

bluecarbonfiber

the boss huh? man up!! haha ya thats fine.. ill just have to hustle through it.. hopefully we will have some light to bleed the brakes

clee109

We don't need to bleed them really, just new pads. Should be able to get it to 100K on the ODO before needing to bleed.

bluecarbonfiber

ok.. shouldnt be an issue then..

clee109

sweet!

bluecarbonfiber

brandon, i'm gonna have to hold on visiting your home today. just thought that friday traffic to your area at 4pm aint gonna be fun

bluecarbonfiber

haha.. take german town =) actually its starting to back up on there too.. after 6 its clear but between 4 and 5 forget it.. just let me know when you want to stop by..

clee109

Whenever you want to stab at them again. I'm tellin' ya, it's time for some Tein CST's or Flex

It's not too bad if you take Germantown. So if you're at your Arco, you just hit 217, get off at Barnes, head up to skyline, hang a left on skyline at the cemetery and then follow to Germantown, make a right on Germantown and when you reach the end you're basically at Brandon's. Takes me about 15 ~ 20 minutes depending on bikers

Will do. I think any road is clogged these days during the traffic.


Meanwhile.. I got this yesterday and installed it right away
Almost screwed up installing the driver front, because I didn't even bother to take a look at the instruction.

bluecarbonfiber

got the mugens huh? nice!!! going for the bling factor!!

clee109

Ack brakes still making that sound, only the passenger side though. Brandon, do you think that the rotor needs to be turned because of that lip forming on the inside?

panma_jack

anyone from portland/vancouver going to the seattle summer meet looking to cruise up there w/anyone else

bluecarbonfiber

i ws think it as i was reading it..ya i think it is.. it has a pretty big indent on it.. and you might as well get both sides done when you do it.. problem is i dont know if it would still be in spec if they do turn them.. you would have to take them off and bring them into baxters or something and see what they say.. or just pick up some new ones..

finished my mold after you left.. turned out pretty good =)

Haha, thanx to sister in law who bought me as a gift.


Did you break in the pads? And if your still running on stock rotors at that mileage, its better to have the rotors turned or buy new ones. But now days, price difference between turning and new isn't that much. I paid like $30 per rotor (front) for generic oem replacement.

Speed Concept recently bought a turning machine for the rotors. Probably they'll do the job cheaper than what NAPA will charge.

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

Yea.. all that hassle of taking off the rotor, taking it to NAPA, waiting to get it turned.. That's why I just bought the new ones.

And which mold you starting? DBW cover?

clee109

That mold stuff smelled so bad! But the spark cover looked awesome, every bit as good as the ones heel toe has. If Min doesn't take it I have dibs :P.

I'll call up speed and see what they'll do. 30$ for a replacement isn't bad though.

bluecarbonfiber

30 isnt bad at all.. cheaper then 60 dollar pads that you dont need =)

do you remember how to take off your rotors? its just the 2 17mm bolts, then hang the calipers to the side.. you need a soft mallet and a impact driver for the rotor screws.. impact drivers are semi cheap maybe 20? and then your rotor is off.. pretty simple stuff send me a text if you have questions.. or call me

ya doing the DBW cover Min.. need to clean it and sand then polish.. then she is done and ready for part making

Rapture

Sorry, forgot to reply to this before.

Anyways, I was reading up the instructions on the box of Injen cleaner and it says to "remove filter from housing" before cleaning The housing? Are they just trying to say to remove it from where it's located in the car? For a minute I thought they were talking about the black rubber pieces attached to the filter.

If you are buying a pneumatic impact wrench, spend the money and get a good dual impact model. I have a cheap one and it's only good for small jobs. You can find them used at most pawn shops for half the retail.


god i hate this app! m

hey hey, stop drooling over my cf cover. i'll even go buy a silver sharpie so brandon can sign and date the cover. hahaha


good impact driver is a must for that bitch rotor screws. don't even try to take that screw off without the impact driver. you'll end up having to drill out the rotor screws

bluecarbonfiber

ya im guessing it mean from the area its located.. they are sure vague about it.. but you dont remove the rubber unless you want to buy a new filter =) ive been thinking of upgrading my filter to an oilless one then all you need to do is just wash it


everyone wants me to sign my work haha its a additional 5 dollars for my auto graph hahaha.. =) i was telling chris i could just thumb print it on the back

vntsx

hahah damn didn't know you guys had that meet at ur house Blue! i woulda came and could have learn some things or 2 lol

Anyone on here a big coffee drinker? ordered a pound of this stuff

http://www.deathwishcoffee.com/

They claim it to be the "strongest coffee in the world" with 200% more caffeine then a normal cup of joe. Guess will find out when it arrives.

Mr Marco

Sorry, won't work in our keurig, and I don't eat or drink anything with a skull and cross-bones on it.

bluecarbonfiber

no coffee for me.. dont like the taste

Mr Marco

Saw a guy in a black 2012 VW Eos with the top down this morning on hwy26. Not unusual in itself as many new convertible owners go through that, "What's the point of having a convertible if you don't drive with the top down!" phase. Nothing wrong with that I suppose...






except if you have to cover your head with your hoodie!

bluecarbonfiber

^ haha nice photo.. its oregon why would you want a convertable?? 4 months of sunshine at the most.. unless you live in eastern oregon

Mr Marco

yep...that is why I don't own a motorcycle either. Had one when I was 18.

Have you ever felt a rain drop hit your neck at 55-60 mph?
feels like a rock.

bluecarbonfiber

cant say i have.. but i have stuck my arm out the window doing 60 in the rain.. wasnt that bad.. i guess a neck is more sensitive? =)

JDMsTATus

When and where.. I am so bored with my summer....I'll go anywhere

JDMsTATus

Hey friend still in California ....getting some new shoes for my baby..

clee109

I am not going to bother with removing the rotor, I'll just have the brake shop do it. I don't care to have my car on stands while I wait, then have to reinstall them and blah blah. Plus don't want to buy any new tools

bluecarbonfiber

chris if you bring them to my house we can just jack them up and take them to a shop... i think turning them is usually 15 bucks a rotor.. might be cheaper? better then paying a shop to do it.. atleast you know its not killing anything to wait another weekend of 2 to get them done..

Mr Marco

I regretted not having the rotors on my Integra turned On The Car. Apparently Honda rotors require the use of an "on car brake lathe."
