What we have in our cars I don't know....guess I'll have to investigate. But I definitely have more front brake than I'd prefer. Normally I would just reach up to the dash, grab the bias knob and dial in more rear brake, but alas, the Ills of production cars. I may have to install a manual limiting valve to reduce pressure to the fronts, but first I'd like to know if there is a problem more easily reconcilable before I start hacking into the system. The story of "Too much Rear Brake" further exemplifies my query....is there a problem with these brakes?

The only problem I've heard or seen is Monicas.... Leo's problem, and mine too until April was powerbraking for nice smoky burnouts. Leo has much more track time and Drag Radials so his might be the worse for the wear of the bunch here. I've not seen issues on any other board.

:rofl3: Leo's brave to go up against the George :grin:

buffguy - sorry to hear about the nightmare. it's a shame people do not take pride in their job :shame:

Bill - It's such a long road...:mad: It's coming along. Soon this will be all behind and you'll be all grins.

That little icon made me crack up.

Bill-Ouch on $$$$. But the good thing is your really close to putting this whole thing behind you. Remember like you always say "It's only money. You can make more."

George-I figured you'd come back but that was brutal.:crying: Couldn't resist draging you into it though.

Buffguy- I feel your pain. I went through three months of hell when I got my CDC ducktail installed and the orginal spoiler holes filled. Best advice is call around and whoever give's you the highest price take it to them. Most of the time if they charge more there's a reason for it.

USMC0341 7/24/08 09:43 PM

Bill.. sorry to hear about the extra cost, but like Leo said..."It's only money. You can make more." those are words to live by for us gearheads!

Didn't mean to cut you deep!:lol::jester:

That's the price we have to pay to keep the wife happy. I got her the mini and she let me buy the pj.


Good to see you around Phil! Glad you're doing better:nice:

My girlfriend and I participated at the Northwest Roundup this past weekend in Bellevue, Washington. It was tons of fun hanging out with great people. They showcased the GT/CS and celebrated it's 40th anniversary. Plus it gave me a chance to sneak back in to the U.S. for a couple of days. :grin:

I bought a Canon HG10 on clearance and it takes awesome hi-def vids but my computers (yes, all 3 of them) have trouble processsing it effectively for editing, etc. What computer/processor are you using? Off topic, I know....... ;)

Hi Tom I edit on a MAC Pro G5 specs: Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors. I use Final Cut Pro to edit it handles it well. I also edit on an older MAC a G4 Quicksilver model. This Mac is maxed out at the moment. I don't own an HD-cam but I have one available from work it's a Canon HD20. The picture quality is excellent even in SD mode; I usually shoot in 16:9 format.

I agree, I need to hire Jed for his special talents:grin:

I need to take some updated pics once I get my car back.

I'm looking for the right picture for your avatar but can't find the hero yet. Maybe Sunday, are you attending the SBMO show at R & R?
