The caliper itself should have 'ribs' along the top as opposed to being 'smooth' along the top.
alright, i'll head out there friday and see what i can find, last time i seen that car it looked pretty well striped out. i cant remember if it still had the calipers or not, but i'll check it out.

They made the 'Speed in '05? I thought it was just an '04 model. What compelled you to do that?

I love it when stuff breaks right before a Dragon trip. My clutch MASTER took a **** on me this morning. Keep in mind that I just had to rebuild the slave about a month ago over at Jeremy's. I noticed the fluid level was way down before work. When I got home, there was fluid dripping out from under my fender on the driver's side. I thought, "Yep, it's a typical fender fluid leak." So I ordered a new fender.

....

Advance won't be able to get my kit in until tomorrow morning, so I'll be rebuilding that son'bitch before I head up there. Since the Dragon is a great place to test the reliability of new parts and labor, right?

lol its all good cody, i dont think you would want a miata anyways. they arent quite as bad as the 7's but they are almost just as much trouble. the next major mechanical issue to date that i will get fixed is probably the oil leak...it loses about a quart every two weeks, so i have to keep tabs on the oil level all the time, it drives me nuts! after that i'll focus on having the clutch replaced, i can tell it starting to lose a little bit of grip...but thats normal for the original clutch @ 155k miles.

jeez...stop talking bout buying cars guys... Ive been seeing the same 65 mustang sitting in a yard for the last several years and im thinking sometime next year im going to buy it an do nothing to it but make it run for a real rat rod...and if i cant get that then im sure i can snag the 69/70 coupe thats sitting JUST down the road from me, though i think its had an engine fire as it used to run for a while and now the edges of the hood look....crispy and charred.
