Z27AG Brake Service

After figuring out Mitsubishi doesn't do the best in servicing my car i took it upon myself to do it.  Mainly I want to know exactly what i put into the car, and i take care in double checking all my bolts.
Last services i had  a missing alternator locking bolt, cross threaded lock nut which split the hub bolt when iI had to snap to get my wheels off to rotate them, had air in the brake line, they sprayed some air con conditioner which damage all my interior plastics. So I am over getting someone else to do until I have tried and given up doing it myself.

- a nice chunk out of my tyres thanks to my mate Shane...they survived the track day though which is great!!!










- got myself some A1RM from http://www.gslrallysport.com/shop/ great prices and service.  I am happy with them and I can't wait to track them!

- I did notice my calipers are more likely to be VR4 than Evo III due to the different brake line fitting. Evo III uses a banjo http://www.gsrcyborgclub.com/

- my slaughtered EBC Green Stuff...I have no idea how they got cooked so bad @_@
I think i did about 15,000km on them. Only did one track day at Jacks Hill which is ~1min laps



- below is a picture of some sick rattle power, it is one of the best investment makes taking wheels and brakes off so much quicker and easier
 


















- the fluids i chose this time... Mobile Full Syn 5W-50....Wanted something thicker for track, before i was using 10W-40 Semi Syn...


- Redline MT-90 GL4 oil for the box...

Note: When doing transmission oil, always take off the filler nut before the drainage plug...Because it is super tight and if you drain it before hand you might never be able to fill it...Mine were super tight and really hard to get to...I can't remember the exact size maybe a hex drive Size 8...i then used a closed end spanner to turn it, i couldn't get a socket wrench in there.. To tight
- Tools of choice some Sidchrome and Kingchrome...Buy a tool once and buy it right! None of the cheap china shit from bunning that break after 1 use
- brake bleed is troublesome, but it is doable if you have patience and someone to help pump the peddle..
- i used the syringe to top up the master cylinder as my car is dam hard to get to...i had a spanner to open and shut the bleed valve/brake nipple...got my mate to pump it as a open and closed the nipple...every 4 pumps i topped up the master cyclinder...i complete a full flush with just under 3lt
- I went twice around the car...first one was to get rid of the old fluid then 2nd time around i started the engine to create a vacuum and went around the car a 2nd time

- rear caliper piston that require you to rotate it to retract it...i use vice grips and pliers it is a pain in the ass...rotate it both ways to get it moving then to retract it i believe it was clockwise








- the tools...a 13mm sock and 15mm spanner to take off the rear caliper...

HTC Desire

I am a simple man when it comes to phones...I have been using my Samsung i450 for two years now...What a great little phone especially with a 3.5mm jack and FM tuner>>>
I lost the back cover just over 6months ago, it is really falling apart and occasionally it freezes.
I am not the most gentle of people when it comes to phones, it has taken some mighty drops!
My work phone was a 6210 classic (I think), what a crap little phone...Just over a year the mic/speaker plays up @_@
18 months later my boss allowed me to get a new phone from Telstra ^_^
Looked at the X10, was very happy with it but it was very expensive and Sony had not released the new OS.  It still uses ver1.6 Android (should be updated in Q4 2010)...
It was good but not as smooth has the 2.1 on the HTC Desire
I didn't want a touch screen phone as I was well adapted to the standard keypad.
Oh and I hate Iphone! Hence didn't even waste my time to look at it.  I think everyone is brainwashed and I can't stand it.
So I gave the HTC Desire ago...it's not bad as a daily work phone, bigger than what I am use to and battery life isn't that crash hot...within 2 days I was over the app store, so now it just a normal phone...I use it for work email exchange, sms, phone calls,the occasional internet browsing and facebook photo uploads...
I was bored with the look of it so I bought a gelaskin >>> absolutely brilliant...I love the art works provided, lots of choices.  They are cheap and thick 3M material!! Protecting the phone and adding wicked customisation that no one has.
Purchased via paypal couldn't have been easier and very fast delivery.
