Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest FORD FEST

Yeah I plan on putting on new pads and rotors on sat (hope you're up for it d-fly ). I also want to change all my brake fluid, I had a leaky caliper that I just replaced, so I think there might be something corrosive in my fluid. Is that easy to do? Do I need to bring anything besides pads, rotors and fluid? I know nothing about brakes lol. That's about all I need to do, so I can spend the rest of the time helping people with their headlight hazing. I thought of something else some of us might want to do. I realized over the weekend that the black strips on either side of the windshield are actually pretty glossy. Mine were way faded, almost grey, but 30 mins of work with 2000 grit paper and some rubbing compound brought back the black. I'll bring what I used in case anyone is interested.

Ya I have a garage, Looks like we will need it.
So far the weather forcast for Sunday the 27th --Ford Fest-- looks like scatterd T-Storms with a high aroud 70's Im hoping that the thunderstorms are in the afternoon, for Bandimere does not give refunds.

Randy I just got the tires at the Discount Tire down the street from my house, they are only H rated, the tread is pretty aggressive though im very happy with them. Cleveland is the Manager there that hooked me up. There unit amount is too high this month so he cut me a killer deal. Very nice guy.

Allright, Saturday sounds like it will be fun! Lindston, i'm very interested in that process you used for the windshield things. Mine are about 20 different shades of gray and black, and faded as hell.

oh if i pay $30 im damn skippy getting it back if it rains

well, probably not, but ill be pissed


anyway, hopefully the weather holds out for us. the weather has been really crappy lately.

I have changed Rotors/Pads before but never drained the entire system and put in new fluid.!.!. I would be more than glad to help you with the pads though. They take about 25 min to do, Front that is.

I'll be there, but I do not think I will run. I don't feel like being disappointed.

It will be great to have you AutoSHO. We are all there just to have fun, nobody will be dissapointed in you. Infact you might even suprise yourself. You have alot of Torque, I bet you beat me.

hehe. getting rid of the cracked front window tomorrow. my car may end up lookin ok after all! you know the best part? its free! gotta love having insurance coverage based in florida (we dont get cracked windows there). no raised rates, no deductable, USAA is pickin up the tab! should have gotten this done a while ago. can you tell im excited?! i thought i was going to have to drop $300 on that sucker

Hey all, got a house !!!! SO I am happy. We will be moving in SAT. Got bad news from Supercharged PAT, he blew a piston ring and wont race on Sunday. Which sucks, I was going to race so we could go head to head. I know I would lose, but it would have beeen fun !
Another SHO club member hydroplained on E-470 and hit a guardrail. He is not coming ! I hope the CSVT well be out in force ! Are any of you racing ? or just all car show ? I am going to be in the car show for sure, but unsure about racing.
Need my headlights unfogged, I think they get worse everyday ! lol
Hope to see everyone out there. -B.
