No, that's all he has left...I don't have the time or place to work on my stuff right now and I want to get the car road-worthy. I had no other option. Otherwise I'd do all that shit myself.

Wow, he must not be doing much, It took me in my shop class like 1 1/2 hours to pull the wheels, remove all four calipers, pads, ect, push the calipers back in, Machine the rotors myself, and put it back together on my TGP. Wow......I hope your paying him with a case of beer or somthing, cause if i was actually paying money for it, i would be fuckin pissed. Now lets hope he remembers to use the little Disc brake cube to turn the calipers back in, not use a C-clamp and break it, lol. What stumped me is that the drivers side went counter clockwise, lol.

Yeah...he's logging his hours so that's what I'm paying for. I got home today and this was waiting for me outside...  This reciever is supposed to kick ass! I've always loved JVC units (had one a long time ago) and they are meant to be performers...not show pieces like some are. And I've always wanted a bluetooth setup with my phone, so I figured "why not"  It had to be iPod ready and comes with all of the necessary cables. I can't wait to install this! All I need is my car...out of the mechanic's. LoL! |

they go the opposite of the way the ebrake lever rotates. so 1 side would be backwards |

Well I got the car back and it started running like shit again...cylinders 1 & 4 aren't firing when it starts bogging, so I've diagnosed that it's either a bad coil (bought all 3 new ones cuz they were cheap) or the ICM, which is $92 at Advance Auto Parts and it has a lifetime warranty. So my brother and I are gonna replace some shit and hopefully we'll have it up and running within a few hours.

Naw, it wasn't the mechanics fault...when he had replaced all that stuff, it was running fine. Then when I got it back up to my place it started acting up again. The ICM was shot, so I replaced it along with all new coils and she runs beautifully! Now I can enjoy the car!

Rears. You definatly shouldnt have. Its easy for the car to feel fine with the rear brakes not even working. My tgp, the only way i found out, was i noticed both rear rotors were rusty, lol. They thread into the bore, thats how the parking brake works. Didnt you see the little notches you use a cube to turn and push |

haha i had to use a really big hammer and punch to get the completly siezed slides out of the calipers, if your going through rotors and pads quick on the front, the backs prolly arnt doing thier job.
