Knowledge is power!!

There you go. Belive it or not, with the proper tools and good common sense and patience...and someone helping you with hard learned knowledge (Zilvia) their is nothing on the car that would be beyond your scope. Never be afraid to just "dig in"

Just make sure that you leave yourself plenty of time to do what you want to. nothing like having your car torn down and having to take the bus to work...that sucks profusely..

Good going Man!

well i found out what i did wrong, make sure you know how to bleed your brakes correctly

lol when i did it the 1st time i just pumped the brake ONCE then let the fluid drain out... but for those who dont know, you must do it multiple times (we did it 8-10 times) and feel is awesome, stock feel, o yea i put on Axxis Metal masters
THANKS all, i appreciate your support, i never coulda done it w/o this site, first of many projects
