107,106 miles - Brakes, wheel bearings, tires…
Worked on the car with Dad, Kevict, Jonathan, Ramon and Pat-the-torquer.
Just a quick update for posterity:
Brakes:
- Replaced front and rear rotors with Zimmerman (non-drilled) items
- Rebuilt front and rear calipers, and removed all traces of once-red paint
- Replaced PBR Deluxe pads with PBR Ultimates
- Bled brakes and replaced fluid with ATE Typ 200
- Replaced rotor and caliper bolts
- Replaced front wheel bearings (check the pic - they take a lot of torque!)
General:
- Changed oil (Mobil1 0W-40) and filter (OEM)
- Replaced rear and side///M-blems (rear was absent, sides were faded)
- Replaced hood switch to fix the over-eager alarm
- Replaced rear trunk struts
- Replaced weird Kragen-style rear view mirror with OEM auto-dimming “M oval” mirror
- Lubed door hinges, handles, and hardware
- Checked for code faults (looked very good) and cleared codes
Tires:
- Shod the stock Roadstars in Kumho Ecsta SPTs - 235/45/17 and 255/40/17
I love this car. It now stops at least as well as it goes, which means I can make it go a lot better before I stop. And it goes better than I do, which is a lot of fun.
What?
