What a coincidence! I wasn't quite as far-thinking at the time, though. It
was maybe the third or fourth oil change before I started fixing mine.

Bright orange? Any chance you have some pictures for show 'n' tell?

Good words Tom. A lot of people go out and buy the parts and hang 'em on
the car and boast about their rear disc brakes. Then when they jump on the
binders, they don't stop any better than someone with stock brakes and good

real quick.
