I'm already running stop tech performance pads. Ready to go a notch higher.

Are you fading your brake pads? What kind of brake fluid are you using?

ATE gold and SS lines

Not fading just want more bite really.

Okay so I've had this problem ever since I did my cooling system overhaul, every now and then my low coolant light comes on. No loss of coolant anywhere. Level never moves in the expansion tank. Temperature needle is always dead center. I've swapped over my old level sensor and haven't had any luck.

Anyone know what's going on? I'm thinking since I didn't go oem on my expansion tank it's causing problems with the level sensor (read that somewhere) should I go out and buy a new one or are there any tips you guys have?

You've most likely got a bubble working it's way around in the system. I'd bleed it again.

Was thinking that as well but I've bled twice now and never noticed any more air bubbles coming out of the bleed screw. I suppose I can try again. Thanks!

Lift the car by the driver side and bleed the system.

Alternatively I've heard of techs just filling the system until the fluid spills out of the bleeder. Then run the engine and repeat. Seems to work 100% of the time.

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot once the car cools down

Take a rag, with a standard screwdriver. Rag on paint, driver on rag, and just place the tip of the driver on the edge of the eblem. Then twist with a moderate amount if force, but not enough force to go through the rag. Be careful. Once you get it started, it'll all be down hill.

I used a non-marring tool. I've also heard dental floss can work.

Business Card, slide it under the emblem then pop that sucker off with a small flat blade screwdriver.

Tried a plastic gift card and a business card. Nothing is getting under this thing. The cards bent in half. They're way too thick. I've no idea how you guys did that.

ECST has a DIY video with what is basically a box strap. They show it just sliding under the emblem. No way that's happening on mine.

I tried three different screw drivers, including the one in the trunk tool kit. Not even close.
