Brake DIY Day - Fredericksburg Va...

Gunther, Justinmm2 and I were talking today while we did Gunther's accumilator, and both guys mentioned they'd like to "do their brakes" while someone who'se done it was providing guidance...

Soooo I'm throwing this out to the group... Since Justin and Gunther both stepped up and asked, We'll be using their cars for the DIY, and I'll offer up the shop and oversight. Anyone wanting to attend and take notes/pics/document is welcome. This is a chance for you guys to get your hands dirty and learn a little more about your P-cars.

So we're thinking the weekend following Thanksgiving weekend, but we'll firm it up and post an update in this thread. Anyone wanting to attend, PM me and I'll send out address/directions as we get closer!

I'm about 1.25 - 1.5 hours south of DC.

Mike

Thanks for the help Mike. Or should I say thanks for showing me what to do!!

I'm in for the brake DIY and using my car for the demo. I have new front and rear pads ready to install. Doing them on your lift will be way better than of stands in my garage.

Thanks agin!!!

Chris (SEAN996), what was the part I needed to replace again? Mike, I might want to try a DIY of that also if you are open to it.....I'll do all the work, I just need you and Chris's guidance......Thanks and I look forward to the learnings.

If Berk were Jennifer Anistan, I'd enjoy "seeing" him... Instead, I'll just enjoy his company!

Couldn't resist!

Mike did my brakes back when I was cool enough to have a porsche and allowed to drive in VA. He knows what he is doing they worked great!
