Drove the crap out of it today after putting in the fixed up-pipe and rebuilding the turbo. Both bellows and the coupling were leaking but all good to go now. Don't have a jig like Josh but it worked!

Replaced the rear brakes and rotors on The Monster yesterday, knew I was on borrowed time, but time ran out before my wallet could catch up. Good to go now!

This evening will be the fronts so I don't have to do this again...the hard way.

Backing plates, What backing plates? I thought that dust and crumbly stuff was
what stopped you when you park and then toss the wheel chock out under the tire.

I need to do mine. All the parts are on hand just need a few odd ball tools.

Dorman have lifetime warranty. Replace your parking brake cables while you are at it

I just installed a new EGT T/C. Mine has been kaputt for several months now. I know, not the smartest way to drive around, especially with a SRL+ tune.
