lets get this started. If its cool with everyone, looks like alex will host. now we need tools and experience. Brian or Brandon? both?

BigRed

we also need a jack... also we can have a small photoshoot on the neighborhood "pond". I also realized my exhaust was off centered and i want to fix that...

Raptor2k

How long are your parents gonna be out of town BG?

BigRed

sunday night i think...

BigRed

All we have is two sets (or four sets if you want to be a douche) to install right?

Creto

Something I thought of... perhaps there's a difference between the base shocks and the sport shocks. Everything fit just fine on mine.

Creto

You'll want to start early in the day to make sure you have plenty of time in case issues are encountered.

BigRed

are you going to come Brandon?

Creto

sure, why not

I've got ramps, jack, stands and some other tools I can bring.

BigRed

Any one know how to flush the brakes? was going to do it this weekend but have never done it before. could use some help...

BigRed

i kind of want to get a light sleep in. wanna start at 10?

BigRed

i lied, we are starting at 9. who else is willing to help?

Raptor2k

Alrightyyy I guess I'll be there by 9...who's bringing a compressor?

BigRed

i think that is between you and nick (deadphoenix). Its better to bring it by then, but at worst case we can go to autozone <10 minutes away.

I do, it's easy. Suck the dirty fluid out of the master cylinder with a turkey baster. Fill with clean fluid. Start from the furthest caliper away from the the MC. Have someone pump up the brakes, then crack open the bleeder screw on the caliper. It should shoot out fluid and air (through a tube). Repeat 3-4 times until clear fluid runs through. Check to make sure the fluid level is at the appropriate level so you don't suck air back into the system. Repeat for each wheel and top off the fluid.

Let me know if you need help. I'll be washing the Lotus tomorrow but I might be able to help when the g/f is out shopping.

BigRed

Does anyone have racing brake fluid while were at it? Ill buy it from you, as long as we install it in my car tommorow

CosmosMpower

Valvoline Synpower is pretty popular and has almost as good dry boiling point as some of the pricier specialty fluids if you can't find ATE/Motul etc. You can get a large one at Autozone for 7-8 bucks vs 40. I've never had it boil on me even at Mineral wells running 1.5 mile autocrosses during the 120 degree summer.

deadphoenix52

i got a compressor from autozone. i'll be there 9ish.

BigRed

sweet. guys, there are two gates--one in front and one in back of the neighborhood. if you guys get to the back one without a gate house, call me and ill open it. if you get to the front from frankford, then tell them you are going to my house. pronounce my last name like this: alex mijicovskee. lol.

CosmosMpower

How late are you guys going to be working? Weather is clearing up and I'm going to wash the car, I can stop by to supervise/help if people want to do brakes. I don't have anyones # either.

BigRed

yea we will probably be late.... call me at 214-906-6586. and yes, i could use some help with the brakes. i bought the fluid already though...

CosmosMpower

I'll try and be there around 2ish, will go home and grab the camera to take some pics as well. Will call when I'm at the gate.
