I don't mess with rotors unless they have issues. Slap on a new set of pads and go.

That’s not how it’s suppose to be done!!!! At least if I mess up my car will not go. You messing up means it doesn’t stop.

You just bought a stupid bad ass fast car. Please don’t do the brakes that way.

My rear vband exhaust clamp that I’m dreading on putting on. It leaks and prob one of the main reasons the exhaust stinks in the cab. I was thinking about this.

if its leaking to the point where you can actually smell it you have a bigger problem (probably cheap v-bands). those may help but i would replace. i have v-bands on 3 systems and none of them even weep water, let alone exhaust.

OS seal and TOB showed up today. Clutch shows up Monday.

Hopefully get the seal and what not done and make the trans ready to go back in for the clutch.

I hope not. It’s not warped, there is nothing wrong with it, and so hopefully it will be fine.

Eh. This car isn’t a huge focus right now in my life. I don’t want it to go anywhere, but running and driving is about it.

You all are funny. But don’t say anything to someone about just swapping out brake pads. But coop does something. Ohhhh noooo.
