    Got my braided lines on today with NC Eunos' help. Then I changed rotors and pads. Did oil change last week so I'm ready to go unless I get some new tires.

    Changed my brake fluid today, all by my self, with a little help from altiain.

    This is the first time I have used my pneumatic helper, it worked very well.

    NC Eunos used Russ Martin Automotive for an alignment and he seemed satisfied with the results.

    did the same yesterday. $70 for a 1 time alinment sucks but it was quick and the car drives straight, no pulling left or right. he got more caster out of the car then even he thought he could. "4.5* wont happen with -2.8* camber, i can do ~3*" 15 mins later, i have 5.2* and -2.8 camber.

    have 6 hours to get the car done tonight, i think i will need every sec.

    Almost done... just changed the oil and installed my belly pan after trimming off all the hang-down bits. I should probably try and squeeze in an alignment tomorrow morning, but other than that, all I need to do is swap seats and pack.

    Call and make an appointment if going to Russ Martin. They were very busy today and I was their last alignment for the day and was out at 2:30. They were shorthanded.

    LOL... just got off the phone with the guy. When I told him I wanted to get an alignment before I left town, he paused and asked me: "Uh... do you by chance have a Mazda Miata?"

    Glad you liked it! That's one of the best DIY tools I've ever made. Wish the RX-8 MC cap sealed in the same way.

    Iain I need to borrow it too...

    Turning corners sharply is causing the brake light to come on so the fluid's even lower. Considering they replaced the MC and then put the old fluid back in! I and really due to bleed the system.
