  6. Cordless impact wrenches and drills

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    That's what I picked up today, driver and drill, real small, 12VDC. 54$ and 44$ each. I saw some really nice Dewalt ones at HD, they were 129$ and 99$... We will see how the Chicago ones hold up. Harbor Freight is awesome, store up in Winchester VA is the one I went to. Vehicle lifts , tools etc...Great prices.

     

    While I have air at home, I also have a Dewalt cordless driver, and a Matco 1/4" one too... The Dewalt is nice for sending screws into wood, and smaller nuts/bolts on a car. The Matco driver, I actually slap an adapter on so i can use 3/8" sockets with it, because it's so strong...

    So today was a lot of fun! It started out for the morning heats with rain, but by the time I ran in the afternoon, the pavement was mostly dry and times were dropping fast!! I ended up placing 7th in a very strong STX field. Looking at video, it's easy for me to see(and hear) how badly I'm being hampered by not having a limited slip differential:

    I had fun out there yesterday, but didn't do anywhere near as good as I wanted... grrr.. Sunday night, I was staring at the car thinking "I didn't change a damned thing over the winter. I should do something..." So I yanked off the back tires and set the rear swaybar to full stiff... Not my brightest move, since on course the car just didn't want to settle in the transitions... It'll be back to last season's settings before this Saturday :biggrin:

     

    The course was great though, and I'm happy that we didn't have to deal with the temperatures being too cold..

  17. What did you do to your Mini today?

    So the seemingly never-ending process of fixing the brakes on my R53 continues.

     

    After securing the new line and making sure my fittings wouldn't leak, I went to go bleed the system. Right rear caliper bleed screw snapped clean off!!! Okay, I guess I'll just replace the rear calipers(they are OLD, and covered in rust anyways).

     

    For 2003 model year MINI's, there is a production split on the calipers at April of 2003. Lucky me, my production date? April 2003.. I tell auto parts guy this, and he says no problem, orders everything up. Go to slap the new calipers on yesterday, and find the brake line is different. Sigh.. Call the parts guy today, and he can get me one caliper tomorrow, but the other one is about a week out.

     

    I WILL FIX THESE F*&&$%NG BRAKES DAMMIT!!!!
