Yeah I looked it up to make sure it was what I thought. The old ones are tough to find. Finally found one on ebay.

 

I liked it, yes.

But you have to be quicker to catch my typos - I edited that before your post! Check my edit time... wait there is none - that means I was really fast!

 

I'll hold you to that if I'm ever in the area.

Bill-

One show and Leo's already worn out from the experience!
Actually it's because I found out any car can enter and there's only like 2-3 trophies awarded. If it was atleast an all ford show with different classes then I would go.

No fair! I didn't get squat yet. Hope I didn't toss it in the trash with the junk mail.

Maybe your club is trying to tell you something.

 

It is a FIAT.
The guy is Mike, a friend of mine, not the owner of that car. We ate lunch and some chick pulled up in it and got out. We started laughing and I told her "You know I am taking picture of that"
It's a 2 cylinder

 

Yes, you're right! They always fill the back rows first, leaving us club members up front, which is the reason why I did't get mine yet.


Should've had her pose next to it! Daryl missed another opportunity...

 

uhhh, she wasn't pretty at all my friend

 

Lemme guess, she probably was the original owner?

 

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

 

Guess Bill is watching Heroes?

I had it on at work tonight, but wasn't really paying attention. After King of the Hill, The Simpsons, then King of the Hill again, and The Simpsons again, and then after Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, I watched Deal or No Deal and then left it on that channel because Two and a Half Men wasn't new, and neither was New Christine. Then I was going to watch CSI Miami, but it wasn't new, so instead I watched King of Queens and then Sienfeld... then That 70's Show. Then I had to clock out to go home.

 

Looks like Tom decided to .

 

I have no idea, but I doubt it.

 

Yes, I was. Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.


You forgot to mention TMS, PM's, and e-mailing in your list of job functions.

 

Tks for the reminder. I've been having to watch Heroes online lately because I watch Prison Break and Justice.

 

Anybody home??

 

I'm here.

Was going to start the CDC write-up soon.

Tom is here too, but we're having a friendly debate on what 'snappy' is through e-mails.

 

And I'm working on camber solutions with different size bolts versus having to use the "camber bolts". I'll take my degree reading where I have it now (-.75 degrees), then install an SAE 1/2" Grade 8 bolt in the top hole, pull the top of the rotor all the way out and check the reading. Then I'll try it with a 12mm Grade 10.9 (equal to an SAE Grade 8) bolt. The problem with the "camber bolts" is that they can only be torqued to 70 lb-ft versus the 148 lb-ft stock bolts. These two new bolts I'm trying can both be torqued to 120 lb-ft.

 

Man, I cheated big time on the rotors. I didn't feel like taking off the calipers and wheel sensors, etc... so, I just cleaned and painted the rotors on the car. Pretty much painted the whole rotor. I sprayed each row of holes and and slots and the edges and the center by the hub. By then, it was pretty much covered. Oh, well, I'll drive slow around the block a few times, breaking easy and it'll take care of all the paint on the braking surface! That saved ALOT of time.

 

Any pics? I've never seen all black rotors.

 

Guess I'll have to take some.

I also took the top section of the rear bump stops off while I was back there. It's been hitting like crazy (I can feel it and it's worn where it hits). I could just slide my finger in between the frame and the bump stop before cutting it.

The section I took off is only 3/4" and it will still hit the bump stop before anything else. That is probably some of the harshness felt while driving.

 

May as well take some pics of what you trimmed off for future reference.
