I'll be around if you want to walk me through what you're doing and I can offer moral support. haha. But seriously, have fun man.

I only went over by $800 due to the tune. Wasn't really planning on it. But oh well. Not much more. A little overtime will chew through that bill quickly enough. Not a big deal.

Was just easier to spend this year due to no "real" vacations being planned. Sucks with the girlfriend only getting 1 week of vacation starting this November. Makes trips tricky.

Well boyZ, everything was going good, I started to bleed the brakes, well I was on my first one (the passenger rear), it went good.. then I went to top off the master cylinder with the 2 bottles of RBF600 I had, come to find out both unopened bottles were bad..

How were they bad you ask?

Well, I poured a little bit into the master cylinder, and saw the fluid to be damn near clear as water.. I guess I had the bottles for so long, the fluid went bad. So now I gotta order more which means, the car will be down for a few more days.

I didnt think it could go bad if the bottles were sealed. How long have you had those bottles?

Brake fluid is hygroscopic. It will suck moisture out of the air. An open sealed bottle is good for no more then 6 months. Unopened bottles. I wouldn't trust over a year.

EW, bleed your brakes a couple of times. Then after a month. Get the brakes real hot, like when you are bedding the pads in. After you do that. Bleed them again. This should take care of any remaining moisture in the system.
