Thanks! That is a great link!


While getting the wheels off the van last night, I realized that the passenger wheel had significantly more brake dust on it than the driver's side. (closer wheel has more dust than the further)

The pads seemed to be wearing evenly so It would seem that I caught it pretty early, but I'll be replacing the 6 month old caliper under warranty while the wheels are off. I believe it's hanging up slightly. Debating about replacing the hose too just in case We'll see how things go. Time is an issue this week. It was weird because it wasn't pulling to the right or anything.. Who knows.


Also got some help from my son. At only 11 months, he already prefers my tools over his toys.

I got the 255/60 Cooper Cobras mounted and installed last night. The front stance is much better now. It's a little bit lower and has more rake as well as having about an inch more room between the fenders and the tire. I might pull them back off tomorrow and hammer on the fender lips a little bit more just for peace of mind, but I think all will be good with these.. Plus the white letters look sweet! It's really making me want to pick up a set of 10" rally wheels for the back and get another wider pair for back there!


I'll try to get better pictures in the daylight.

I had done the calipers and hoses 6 months ago, but the one caliper went bad. You can check which item is bad. pump the brakes a few times. (The stuck side should be significantly harder then the other side to spin even after letting off the pedal). Then loosen the bleeder on the caliper. If it frees up immediately, then the hose is bad. If there is no difference and is still stuck, then the caliper is bad. I was prepared to warranty both if needed.

Quick update.. Not much to mention about the van. It did what it is supposed to do. Pulled the car to and from the track and gave us a place to setup base camp.

[Linked Image]



The car on the other hand had it's share if issues from chassis parts, to cooling fan relays, to the transmission.. Yep, had to swap out the transmission at the track on Sunday. Despite all the issues, I was able to get a bunch of track time throughout the weekend and had fun. Now I need to fix all the issues with the car before we go back to Indianapolis next weekend..

Also think I have nailed down the paint color for the van. Just working out some details at this point. Hoping to paint it this winter if I can stop spending money on the race car..
