Hector,

just remember: low brake fluid= thinning brake pads...if u don't have any external leaks.

soo start saving some $ for new ones...

if u r gonna remove your wheels to check on how much u got left, i recommend relubing the sliding caliper pins while u r @ it...wait, u r not in the north east...

oor, u can just wait to hear those squealers; then u got only a few miles left b4 rotor disaster:eek:

So you recommend me to check into that A.S.A.P.? Cuz i will have money in like 2 weeks, i was thinking on getting an lsd first before anything else...what do you say...check rotors and breaks first right?

By the way does anyone know where can i get a good lsd for my 90' 240?:help

detser122,

it's up to u; i told my lil bro when he 1st got his 91 eclipse to concentrate on the preventative maintenance 1st before upgrading...

but he went to upgrade his stereo, install glow-gauges, strut bars, paint interior trim pieces, car seat covers, etc...

...while i worked on his oil change, check/replace plugs.wires.cap,rotor, o2 sensor, remove that intake resonator, transmission fluid/filter change, valve cover gasket, throttle body valve cleaning, check/adjust idle/timing...checked out suspension/brakes/driveline... he got a tore boot on the driver side axle <so he's gotta save up for a replacement>

he's a young guy w/ no other responsibilities so I guess he can make his car "look pretty" as well as keep his car maintained... if u r in the same boat, go for both the lsd swap & impending brake job... a brake pad change isn't too dificult anyways.

ya, i need an lsd as well, but i got priorities 1st...

Edit: you're in a "hot zone" so get some kill switches installed as well...

Youre right man, and actually thats what i think on doing first...touching up on under the hood and stuff. Before i start to add the fun parts on. Thanx for your advice, Peace!
