I'll be there, hopefully with my new brake setup :tup:

i expect to have a +1

Since shado's not going, I won't be having a +1 but I should be attending. :stirthepot:

Hopefully I'm not covered in brake fluid for this ****.

Well if its anything like your last install, that doesn't bode well for you... Last time it was washer fluid. :p

Trollololol

At least I wont be sitting in the friggen sun scrambling to finish before my delicate lady-skin sunburns in no time...

:roflpuke2:

That reminds me, I really should look into getting a good, large fan for my garage, just to get air circulating...

That would be a good idea considering how hot it has been for the past couple of days. Also, if you want to do it after work someday this week that would be fine too. Saturday morning would give us the most time to work on it though.

If we did that, then Friday after work would be fine, but I recommend we just do it EARLY Saturday morning. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it's going to take a good bit of time to wait for that damned caliper paint to dry.

Also, you'll want to get some painters tape, and a roll of brown painters paper, or plastic to mask off your car. Get a big plastic drop-cloth and we can tape off the whole area around your wheel wells and not get any overspray anywhere...

He mentioned he wanted to heat wrap his LCA's too :stirthepot:

What time do you mean when you say EARLY? I'm thinking like 10 AM would be a good start time.

Also, why do we need to mask off/cover the car when we're taking the calipers off to painting them? We have to take them off anyway to put the new brake pads in.

Steve mentioned that he wanted to heat wrap your face with the heat wrap I gave him :stirthepot:

Oh, right, I forgot yours have to come off haha. I keep thinking you have the sport package for some reason.

Yeah, good point, we should be ok. Although, PART of the caliper will be staying on the hub - you planning on just leaving that silver? The majority will be getting painted....

Oh you mean the part on the bottom in this pic (closer to the rotor)? Well I want to have that painted as well. Is it difficult to take off or would we be better off painting that part while it's still mounted on the hub?

the whole caliper assembly comes off with just two bolts, I just did this over the weekend to put the spacers on. Everything you're going to want to paint will be off the rotor. You will have to deal with brake fluid though, luckily I didn't have to mess with that.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah I'm swapping out the brake fluid for Motul RBF600 so no way to avoid messing with it :p

Well if we disconnect the brake lines, its going to be not-so-fun to change the brake fluid. The other part is fairly easy to remove with a little effort - really tight bolts...but the caliper itself, we should leave connected to its brake line or we'll be bleeding for a while lol.

Ok, I guess I'll get some stuff to mask it off then. How big of a plastic drop cloth should I get?

you guys gonna do the brakes at gordon-biersch?

Not doing it there, we're gonna do it that morning. We should be done in time to make it to GB.

Definitely doing some parking lot modding.

Ok, I'll do that. Just got the paint and calipers cleaner from auto zone. Grabbing the oil from Walmart now. Next is Lowes for standing sponge, mineral spirits, and drop cloth.

MAZOC Zdayz wrap-up Gordon Biersch meet and B1ades/Bobo brakes FAQ thread.

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

New GB requirement, one MAZOC member must mod their brakes the day of each GB meet :p

It's a MAZOC requirement that every thread be derailed by completely off topic discussions.

Mid-Atlantic threads are never derailed...

b1ades you better not keep my double rainbow away from me.

What the rest of the world calls derailing a thread, we call bringing it back to MAZOC standards. :roflpuke2:

Not gonna do that, just going to lube it up for you :rofl2:

Lol first Shado with his BBK and now you with your new pads and caliper paint. Guess I'll plan to buy mine in time for the next GB meet in October to do. :tup:

I guess that makes it an official new MAZOC tradition then :p

So did you guys ever decide if you're doing it Friday evening or Sat morning, and if Sat, what time?

Prob Sat morning.

Care if I roll out? Gonna be down that way anyways, might as well make a day trip of it so I'm not just going for an expensive dinner cruise... :icon17:

Newp, feel free. At the new place, though.

Okay, just shoot me the address sometime between now and then. I may not get there at 10 when you guys start, but probably not too late in the day to be useful I hope. Are you guys planning on rolling to GB straight from your place?

Well I'm hoping to be done a little while before leaving for GB. That would give me time to go home and shower first.
