So when I get my face down by the front brakes I notice that the rotor is brand spanking new - as in - no pad has ever touched this thing... and NO he says he didn't put new rotors on.... So for over a year he's been tooling around with ZERO front brake action... Bleeding them went a long way to helping his "issue"....
Dang, I imagine that helped!

I've spent 3 years building my car...so I guess I'll just call a spade a spade and say I've been chasing my tail the entire time.

Right now I'm dialing in the stereo crossover/gain/slope, etc. with every little to show for it and I've spent most of the summer trying to figure out my pinging engine...which seemed to go away after I futzed with my windshield trim. Doh.
