so, i popped in the new cap and cleaned up the rotor with an emery board. took it for a spin down the road, noticed much smoother acceleration and better throttle response... unfortunately, its not raining today so i can't tell if the problem is actually solved or not. as soon as we get some rain i'll fire it up and report back with my findings.

by the way... im a tard and cant remember how to give rep points... i got a lot of good responses and i dont wanna be a **** and just say thanks, see ya later.

it figures it rains 3 times while im working on the roommates car, but when i want/need it to, its a gorgeous day with no clouds in sight. stupid weather.

aint that the way it happens???? remember, no good deed goes unpunished

Look for the near the bottom of the avatar side of post you want to rate.
It's between the or and the
click on that and it'll give you a pop-up or list depending on your browser settings.

Don't forget to give me some
each time you give some to anyone else
- since I told you how right ?
(It's just like amwaid.)
Don't really do that !!
