It's amazing just how much space all the ABS stuff takes up, not to mention the fact that it's utterly useless.

Good to see you chugging along.

Those tires should be nice. I have the directional 225/50-R16 AST and wish I would of sprung the extra cash for the ASX. My dad has the ASX on his BMW and they have lasted the longest out of any tire he has tried. No abnormal wear/etc like the other tires. They have all around better specs than the AST. More grip more life, and unidirectional.

got a bubble flaring tool. KD tools w/ lifetime warranty

much heavier than the $20 double flaring tool I was just using

so I can finally do the non-abs master swap that has been sitting for.. 4 months

scott0999 · Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 7:39 pm Post subject:

well somehow I accidently ordered a abs master so I gotta wait Shooting

hopefully I can return it but its been 4months so we'll see

this weekend I made my TB adjustable from the top instead of the bottom which is next to impossible

also got most of the rear brake stuff done. just gotta order a ebrake cable union or whatever its called to join the main-> driver side line

also replaced the fuel filter big progress I know

Why do you need to adjust the throttle stop anyways?
