Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project
When I did my C5 brake upgrade, I installed the one-way bleeders. Pedal stiffened quickly when the time was right and I didn't even need any Cialis.

Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project
Did you use speed bleeders, or the solo-bleed type? I tried the solo-bleed and had zero luck with them. I've used speed bleeders in the past but don't like the way the sealant on the threads is basically a one-time use.

Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project
Great news Andrew. Sounds like you're over the hump. While there will always be things to fix you'll hopefully be able to get some enjoyment out of the car; at least be able to drive it enough to be able to remember why you bought it!
Does the passenger side collector connection leak or are you just not happy with it? Hopefully someone here has what you need to tighten it up. |

I also have some B&B tips I'm going to try to have welded on, so I'm going to have a set of Corsa tips for sale if anyone is interested. |

Re: Update on my hi-miler Z project
I think it came out great.
To ourselves, our own cars will always need new paint but to others not so much. Drive & enjoy her for a while before you spend money on paint....JMHO...was it a cloudy day when you took the pictures? I'm not seeing the screaming need for a repaint. I think I see what you see. The shade changes from panel to panel?. At least your rockers don't look like mine! The front part of my rockers and the front generally look like I've been hosed with rocks I've got so many chips...Yikes! Tom
