I'm going to try to come out in the wagon.

That is a legitimate reason.

I lied. I won't be there. Forgot about a previous engagement on the other end of town at 7:30. if anybody wants the coupons, they can come grab them at my place before the meet.

I might be offended if I knew more about what I was talking about most of the time...

So, just me and Charlie, or did anyone else show up and leave before we got here?

Sorry , realized that's kind an asshole-ish thing for me to say. Just the town where I come from people are driving subarus and evos because they think they're cool , but don't know much about them... Sorry if I offended anyone!

Haha. No offense taken from me at all. I know exactly what you're talking about. If you read any of my posts you'll probably see all the silly questions I ask that everyone already knows the answer to.

Bump!

Meet this Thursday. Anyone interested? Plenty to BS about with the final AutoX last weekend and the final PDX this weekend!

I and my STI :banana: will be there! 600 miles and counting...

Anybody want to help me bleed brakes?

Dean after what, 15 years and counting, of asking people to help you bleed brakes... it's time:

:P

^Dean, find a price on that and I can probably find a few friends including myself to go in on it.

Speaking of meets, I might try to make it this week.

They're about $80, give or take depending on the cap adapter(s) they come with. Don't bother with the universal caps, since they apparently don't make a great seal.

I don't remember which one I've got, but it's specific to the master cylinder cap on my WRX. Probably the #109 model with the 45mm threaded adapter, since that's the only metric one listed, but you'd have to search NASIOC to get the specific model number.

Either way, it works great. I can't use it on my SVX since the SVX has an older master cylinder reservoir design... so after bleeding those brakes a bunch recently the old fashioned way, doing the WRX or Legacy is a dream with the power bleeder. Takes like 3 times longer to put the car in the air and take the wheels off than the actual bleeding takes.

I don't want a power bleeder. I prefer to scream overtly sexual words at someone in the driver's seat for the whole neighborhood to hear and drink milkshakes. :P

Ansel had a vacuum one that worked awesome , it hooked to the bleeder on the caliper , a 'one size fits all' type model, well you had to put on different bits of tube to make it fit your application, but it worked amazingly well. :)

i keep saying I'll make a meet, but i think i will this time... i think... just have to convince the GF , or not car pool that day. :) I should take Betsy as its seemingly in 'ok' shape after this last rally.

I don't know that "down ... up" is "overtly sexual". Unless that's what you yell out during sex... which is now a horrifying image indelibly marked upon my brain. :unamused:

I'll sell my Motive power bleeder if anyone is interested. It doesn't fit the MINI. Fits STI, WRX, etc... $50 PM me.

Oh, and I can't make the meet this week. Bummer.

Vacuum bleeders are pretty nice too, and they don't require a special air-tight cap for the master cylinder reservoir. But you have to take out the bleeder valve and teflon tape it, or you risk sucking a little bubble of air past the threads into the top of the caliper that can make the pedal a tiny bit squishy.

Power bleeders have the same problem with the threads, but the difference is that instead of sucking in air, you just make a mess as fluid leaks past the threads and all over the caliper.

I bet you can get a cap that works for the Mini for a few bucks... I just wouldn't know where to get it from.

That's a good point,maybe I'll look into that first.

I have this little $5 valve that I've been using for years. Just did full brakes/rotors on one of the cars last week by myself, went pretty fast.

And yes, I can be there this week. Who's going?

I'm in... if only to find out if winter has officially started based on Scotty's choice of pants.

I'll be there.

I'm still finishing up a move from Jeana's old condo to our new rental house... and i need to pick up my STI in spanish springs (was left there when i picked up my rally car, nothing wrong with it) hehehe

so think i'm out. :( boo

I'll be there.
