Kevin,

Can't thank you enough for the work you did installing the HID's. We'll hook up soon enough so I can give you these rear LED lights.

Warren,

Thanks for hosting. You've got a great pad. Gotta manage expenses between the house and the car

As for the rest of you, great seeing everyone again. We'll hook up again this coming week!

Lates,

Good meet guys... Thanks for waiting out the rain!
No pictures of Neo installing HID fog lights on the six





Here's what happens if the rear piston isn't aligned to the brake pad pin...

Great meet guys... food / beer was good... company was great.. and having no squealing brakes is the best!~

Thunder... looks like I just had to wear the pads down a little more so they would hit the rotar's proper. By the time I got home they're gripping really well. Thanks again, and to Kev as well for walkin' me through the install... messin with the brakes doesn't give me the hibbiejibbies anymore :D

Good to hear REV, hopefully your new pads show up and we can get those ones installed.

I would get that front left caliper slide looked at though (mind you it could be fine and i'm just talking out of my *** )

Thunder,

I must've told everyone about it. But people insist you can get away with it. Put the damn plate on the bumper already!!

Looks like I missed a few more interesting moments.
I'm gonna try to get out there for Wed. Provided I don't work that day.

They sell universal ones at crappy tire and princess auto.. They work for the "8" as I just put Hawk HPS's on my car. FYI: but they don't work for the Mazda3.

All: Let me know when you're next get together is. I need a foot person to help me bleed my brake system. Gonna put in the ATE Super Blue fluid I just bought.

Yeah.. that's what I was looking at originally... Thunder had one of those universals from crappy tire which worked quite well for the front... just used some needlenose's for the backs.

We're meeting up in Oakville on Wednesday to do acouple of more things.. PM Thunder for the addy

oh.. that's the rear piston... there's a pin on the back of the pad to ensure that the piston is in the right place... it wasn't... it was actually on one of the raised portions of the piston.
