Kevin and Chris thanks for the help today, really appreciate it.

Kevin, you want me to drop the CT stuff off at your place before I head up north in the morning?

Chris, you forgot your CF stuff. If you need it before I can get back to town, perhaps I can drop it off at Kevins and he can drop it off at Scarb mazda???

If you dont mind dropping it off that would be great, and i can take Chris' CF downtown for him.

How did the water temp gauge work out when you turned the car on??

Where are you guys getting the money for so many upgrades?!

I wish I had that type of cash to throw around.

Sorry I couldn't make it around. There were so many things to do at home, I couldn't get away. At least the pad looks liveable again.

So what are you guys going to be installing next???

I think I'll be getting an autodim/compass/homelink mirror installed on the Miata.
Anyone up to that task?

Not sure how much time I'll have.

Does someone have a set of front pads not as bad as mine?

My driveway? Friday evening, Saturday morning

I have backup transportation...

And I have Monday afternoon.

I would hope to disassemble the brakes on Friday evening, paint everything Saturday morning, assemble Monday afternoon...

But I'll need someone who knows what he's doing.... Greg???

Out of curiousity, have any of you guys installed autodim/homelink mirrors?

I'm probably going to be picking up 2 of these suckers to install on both Miata and FD. I can't stand having all these stupid little remotes anymore. I'm tired of it.

This won't happen till at least Sept or Oct. Maybe even next season.

How did everyone's installs go?

I got my new pads in (front and back), calipers painted, new plugs in, brake fluid flushed, new windshield wipers, and my front plate on (got pulled over finally urg). Busy couple of days.

Get the odd CEL after new plugs when I redline it, but runs nice and smooth.

Thx Rev for helping out on Sat, and Chris for bring over the right pads
