z32 brake upgrade

[elwesso]

OOOOOH... yes I need them regripped!!!!!

[ceningolmo]

Done... I will grab them from you when I am at your place.

Spacers are supposed to be here today?? I didn't think FedEx did saturday delivery unless it was next day air... but, that is what there website says.

[ceningolmo]

Spacers arrived today... all I need to do is drop by Autozone for the brake fluid (I think we decided on DOT 4), and I should be ready to go.

beautiful...... Rossman, make sure that the spacers have 2 spacers and a bunch of studs...

Im not going to be able to come to the lake until the week after christmas, but if you want to come down to my crib in anderson (2ish hours south of angola) you are welcome to!!

Done... two spacers, lots of studs. In fact... that sounds suspiciously familiar to NICO... two space cadets, lots of studs? Nevermind.

I don't mind the drive... just depends on the weather. As you might imagine, retail & Christmas means I don't have a ton of time on my hands. I have Tuesday of this week off... other than that we are looking at that week after Christmas. You let me know what works out best for you.

[elwesso]

LEts plan on the week after christmas, we'll do it up at the lake where we have heated garage and air tools..... which i so dearly love.

[ceningolmo]

where we have heated garage

Ohhh sweet heated garage, how I love thee.

[elwesso]

you will fear!!! and no working on the engine....

[elwesso]

BTW..... you want, ill replace your o2 sensors for something golf related....

newish o2 sensors, just slightly used.

newish o2 sensors, just slightly used.

Done... whats the value? What do you need?

[elwesso]

Value is $100 each from joe, id do $75 for the pair since they do have like 20k on them, but theyll get you as good gas mileage as new ones (replaced them with brand new ones-no change)

[ceningolmo]

Done... what else do you need in your golf bag?

[elwesso]

do you guys have any used forged irons that maybe we coudl work a deal out with for all the stuff (rotors+O2s, etc)

[ceningolmo]

Yes... I will email you off list and we can work something out.

[ceningolmo]

Wes... I have tomorrow and Thursday off this week. Let me know what works best for you. I am really excited about getting started on the brakes!

BTW... I did a couple of oil changes in rapid succession (let the car run for 30 minutes) and ran some MMO through the engine. Finally, drained everything and put Mobil1 oil and oil filter back in... used some BG44K, and the engine seems to be running like a champ.

I am not as worried as I was...I think I will still try to tackle under Plenum, KS, O2's, thermostat, and Plugs next. Not sure how soon til I will have enough money to do that... but, next on the list.

[elwesso]

Hmmm..... Well ill tell you ill be up at the lake all or most of the week after new years, but your welcome to come to my crib on thursday (tomorrow im going to the indy auto show).... Its more of a drive, less accomodating garage... makes no difference to me... If you are going to be off the week after new years at any time, that will work fine too...

We can accomplish the same thing at either place... it makes no difference to me because i'll be in both places... ill be at home all this week for new years, and then back up to the lake to get some of our equipment running .... I'll be partially rebuilding an old mercury snowmobile thats been sitting for about 9 years... as well as 6x6 (yes, 6 wheel drive) ATV ......

LMK

[ceningolmo]

I guess I would prefer to meet you at the lake, since I already know where it is. And, the drive isn't as far as heading to Indy.

I am off Sunday and Tuesday of next week.... so, Jan 1 and 3.

Either of those work?

[elwesso]

Lets do next tuesday, ill likely be going up to the lake on monday... Ill be sure to get stuff out of the way so we can ahve the shop (the place with the parts cleaner)...

Hey guys....thanks for sharing.....but has anyone ever heard of email?

There was a time on this when posters were more careful to make their posts relevant to all other members.

[ceningolmo]

but has anyone ever heard of email?

by "anyone", do you mean me? If so...then, no. I've never heard of email.

There was a time on this when posters were more careful to make their posts relevant to all other members.

Was that time during the past couple of months? Because I don't remember anyone mentioning a stipulation about posts meeting any kind of relevance criteria. Of course, I'm just a newb...

[elwesso]

Go back to your hole!!!!!

ill clean this up once we get it done!!! If you dont like it, dont read it!!

[squeefoo]

Hmmm..... then back up to the lake to get some of our equipment running .... I'll be partially rebuilding an old mercury snowmobile thats been sitting for about 9 years... LMK

Yank the plug (s) and squirt in about a tablespoon of ATF a couple days before you try to turn it over.

Hows that for relevance?

[elwesso]

Good advice.... however it is a 2 cycle, and My uncle most likely fogged it before it was put away..... I may put a little 2 cycle oil in the cylinders and bump it overa few times

[ceningolmo]

Well... spent a couple of hours with Wes today and he finished up the Z32 brake upgrade for me... and my impression? These things suck... NOT!

Wow... smooth, quiet, and FAST stopping. Absolutely love 'em. And, for the price, a hell of a lot better than replacing OEM Q45 stuff.

Wes, you rock. Again.
