How did you like using the pressure bleeder? I've never done a brake fluid flush/bleed and I was considering doing it myself. Love Mystic blue, the car looks amazing in the sunlight1

Thanks guys! The pressure bleeder worked flawlessly. That was the first time I've use one and it couldn't of gone more smoothly

Nice, thanks for the info. I think I'll pick one up. TMS has a nice one I think, where did you get yours?

I bought a kit from ecs, the only thing that didn't work for me was the wrench for the bleeder screws. I opted for the schwaben over the motive because the schwaben had a pressure relief valve on it. Not a huge necessity but it was a nice added feature.

Perfect stance

Spent the weekend doing a two step polish. I forgot how much of a pain that was. She doesn't look perfect but definitely looks a lot better.

First I clayed the whole car followed by a cutting polish and then a final polish. Topped off with a fresh coat of wax! I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

I planned on painting my calipers/hubs this weekend as well but I ran out of time. Looks like that's next weekends project!

Also could someone move this to the project section of the forum? Dane? Thanks!

What color are you planning to paint your calipers? Black? Silver?

I was leaning towards black, but now I'm thinking silver would look pretty good with the dark color of the car. I'll have to look around to see what colors look good. Definitely between black or sliver though
