I needed to get some new brakes for my upcoming inspection...and thought that the original silver just didn't look right with the carbon gray rims.


Here's how the started out...the silver goes good with the E1 wheels.


Painted the calipers red, with new Bendix Titanium pads and rotors.


Here's a shot with the carbon gray rims.


A shot before lowering it down...




Also ran into some problems with my fuel gauge...if you look at the arm of the float, you can see the upper part of the plastic broke off...which basically caused the fuel level to go nuts.
Of coarse, me being a pack rat, I still had my old fuel pump from when the returnless pump died a while back. A conversion of the old level to the new pump, and a few solder joints later...I was back in business.

Now, if I could just find someone to inspect the car with tinted windows, I'd be set.

I don't know what the legal limits are for rear glass, but as long as THAT will pass... roll your two front windows down, and then remove the fuse the operates the power windows.... It isn't ILLEGAL to NOT have side-front windows.. It's illegal to have TINTED (too dark) side-front windows..



That's what I did, after receiving a failure due to tint.
