Finally got my brakes bled. Never had so much trouble with such a simple task. Been trying for over a month to get brakes working right. Now they are good and tight. Passenger side has a small leak at the brake line to caliper. Not sure why as all front brake components (- rotors) are all new. Oh well. Its a small leak and these brakes are only temporary until I get my front coilovers and TII brakes together. Maybe 2 months from now. Should be able to take her for her maiden voyage tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

Pulled the carb and intake. Stared to strip the nikki and moddified the choke to not return on its own since I disabled the automatic choke. I also got some use out of my new ROTARY tool. lol. Smoothing out the intake between the primaries and secondaries.

Putting on the side skirts; the very last body pieces to put on it after my year plus body work, primering, and painting. "Blaze Red" is the red'ist stock red I have ever seen. I have a feeling it will be "spotted" a lot in Seattle in the near future. It nearly burns your eyes out looking at it.

how can you not find metallic purple?

HOK Pavo Purple


HOK PBC40 Violette


HOK PBC65 Passion


HOK KBC10 Purple


HOK KBC17 Violette


HOK F73 over BC10


HOK IP04 over BC25





these are just a few purples from one paint manufacturer. have you gone to one of your local paint/autobody supply shops and just flipped through the color samples they have? i bet you can find a whole handful of colors that you'll like

pulled the power steering cpu out to check/clean up the solder connections. still have this intermittent power steering issue, but i'm thinking one of the pins itself is suspect
