1990 BMW e30 325i 2001 Corvette


« on: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 01:57 AM »

Mike, a co-worker of mine, called this morning at about 11:30 - said he wanted to do his front brakes on his car he just bought (only about 1,000 miles on it so far, car currently has 181k) - a 1988 toyota supra - it's a project car, and I'm actually the first person to get my hands on it Wink

Today, I was expecting to replace the front rotors and pads, and that's it - that wasn't the case.  He comes over with 4 rotors and 8 pads, so I just went with it, and throttle body cleaner.

So, I got to work - replaced all 4 rotors, all pads, bled the brakes, cleaned the throttle body, went to auto zone to get a K&N Air Filter and Lucas Oil fuel injector cleaner half way through the job.  From 3:30 until the car was down, and the pads were brandished, and had the car back from the test drive - 7:30pm.

Here's a few pic's.

just last night, we re-bled the brakes, clutch slave cyinder, degreased the engine bay, replaced the spark plugs, replaced the valve cover gaskets.  got to bed at 2:30am - that car takes a lot of work just to get to the spark plugs, requires removing the throttle body and intake manifold (half of it)
