Took the teener out for a quick spin to the gas station down the block to put fresh gas in it since it had been sitting for the last few years...
(see back story on that here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=193477&hl= ) And, aside from rekindling my love for the car, I confirmed my earlier suspicion that at least two of the calipers are seized up. probably 3. So, Should I just rebuild them, go for a new caliper, upgrade? What are other people doing, etc. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm the new kid in class, so any advice is cool. It's a '73/1.7 |

QUOTE(biosurfer1 @ Sep 12 2012, 10:40 PM)  Oh. Dear. God. That link reminds me of the time I found out Harbour Freight was 4 blocks from my new house. Elation+deathly fear for my wallet... I'll probably go with their "restored" calipers, but just for spits n sniggles, what are others running on their cars (pics if you got 'em)? |
