    Default Brake fluid flush & new guy meet - Saturday - 3/12/2005

    Anyone else need to flush brake fluid? Anyone want to meet the new guy (jolberry) and check out his '99 Sport? This coming Saturday at 3pm'ish - POS World HQ - Euless. Vote accordingly. (If there's not enough interest, it will be cancelled.)

    I voted WTF. Sorry, couldn't resist.
    IF my car is running, and IF there is someone that could help me with a CLUTCH Fluid flush, I MIGHT stop by. Tailchaser was ragging on me for the maple syrup look of my clutch fluid the other day. Oooo... and I need a fuel filter.... gotta put in a new fuel filter. And maybe a new thermostat. Yeah.. That's the ticket!

    I've got a Mity-Vac. I could probably use a clutch-flush myself!

    OOPS, I ment to say could not make it. I thought it was for the week after next. Wife would have a fit if I did go this weekend.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    I'll be in Waxahachie that morning doing construction on my senior design project. If I can break away form the fun and excitement ( ) early enough, I'll stop by on my way home.

    What would I need to bring? (Fluid, jack, jack stands, tools?)

    Man, I really need to do something about my jack situation at some point. I have two TCB jacks -- one that will fit under the car but doesn't lift all the way, and one that won't but will. I end up using the first one to lift it a little, then the second one to finish the job. Doh!

    Man, I don't think I've ever touched my clutch fluid. Is it the same stuff?

    Your jack problem is nothing that a couple pieces of wood wouln't cure. Drive onto the wood to allow more clearance for the jack that works. :P

    OzCop has a good suggestion about the jack situation.

    About the clutch - yep, it uses the same fluid as the brakes.

    Will there be any gorillas there? When we installed the turbo, etc. we had a hard time getting the return oil line hose over all of the barbs. So, it's leaking and I'm a maybe if I could resolve this.

    PM POS for directions to the POS World HQ.

    BTW, putting your entire post in bold-faced italics is kinda annoying.

    I'll try to be there but no promises...

    We had to spend the night last night in a hotel - getting tile put in a large portion of the house... and combined with a couple of late night events for work, I may have to spend Saturday doing "honey dos"

    Send me a PM if you need directions to my place in Euless. I'm just about a mile south of Pennington Field (183 & Central Dr.). This will also be the last of the Tech Days at this Facility we will be in our new World Headquarters on April 4.

    Please keep in mind I do not have my deposit back yet on this place!

    To all who are participating - Bring your jack-stands, fluid(s) and be prepared to take your old fluids home with you. Paper towels are always a good thing to have on hand. There will be a floor jack on-site and I will bring my Mity-Vac.

    I really must check in here more often. I need to look after a few things on the car (flush the hyd clutch, change the diff oil, replace fogs) but my yard needs more attention than the car right now.

    I hope to see you guys at the next tech day, hopefully at POS's new World Headquarters!
