KaiserRolls Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 This has not been my experience. I lost my brakes twice on two separate cars in two days after a gentle application at parking lot speeds. You never know when something is going to let go. Just remember, your next pedal application could be your last........ Gentle application.... As in all four Camry tires were begging for mercy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, your next pedal application could be your last........ i might be worried if the original brake lines were still on the car but i replaced them so im not too concerned.

Guest Kip Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 It's Saturday, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who spent some time with my car. Installed the MTech skirts today. Was hesitant to drill holes in my rocker panels, but the install went very smooth. Thanks to straight6pwr for the install hardware. Now I've just gotta get some lower door trims. Need to paint the front and rear bumpers as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was was too aggressive with the stock m20... I believe Brian has a couple 3.25 difs that he is looking to get rid of with the shark car.

andyhundley Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I realized today that I will be needing a new water pump/ fan clutch in the near future. The temps creep up at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out i needed to replace my clutch fan the hard way when i didnt notice i had a softball sized hole through my radiator. And no fan blades left on my fan.

TehRaydarlover Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I have this waiting for me when I get home. Left two weeks ago and literally pushed the axles in and shut the door haha. Started as just replacing a torn cv boot, things escalated quickly: rebuild front axles, steering rack, poly motor mounts, control arms w/m3 offset bushings, strut mounts, upgraded front drive shaft, new oil pan gasket, diffs tranny and transfer case flush, oil change, and just an all around cleaning. Almost ready for dd status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
