GIT R DONE JJ

Missed a chance for a FREE ride in a LeMons car this weekend at TWS but I still don't have a "new" helmet..

I had dreams of racing again last night, that hasn't happened for a long time now...

Gonna work on the ol' fox body today... Maybe I'll have a TT car in time for Cresson

Richard and Michael Painter stopped by the other day.

Drove their 2012 mustang with loud exhaust

Left an impression

Very cool Chris...

For me, at this moment, Gage is honing his skills on Gran Turismo 4...

Thanks for the replies regarding the wipers. It is running about 50/50 so maybe I'll just flip a coin to decide!

Regarding the pad kickback that I was fighting at MSR-H, I have a stupid question. Well actually I know that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people asking questions, but anyway...

I don't run the little metal "filler plates" in my brakes:

Could that be why my calipers were getting stuck?

In any case a new set of slider pins and these "filler plates" along with good high temp grease are going in before the next outing.

The "clips" at the top are anti-rattle springs. They sit on top of the pads and push on the bridge of the caliper to keep the pads from "rattling" in the caliper. I've run w/out those for many years. Not an issue.
The other 4.... that is up for debate. I've run w/ and w/out them. I have seen more issue from the backing plates on the pads themselves having a sharp edge that will allow the pad to "dig in" and not release smoothly. Take a look at them and round off the edges if they are sharp.

Are the pistons in your calipers hard to push in?

Michael and Raegan are engaged!!!!
