Special Thanks to Way Motor Works!!!

I just want to say THANKS to Way Motor Works for letting me borrow his tools after my brake pads disintegrated Friday night. After only one week on the car too!!

One should not have this much fun in a parking lot at night!

Although, this brake job is going to cost me a lot of money. I just HAVE to have a cordless impact wrench. That thing was SO sweet!!

Here are pics of the BAD brakes......

The top right was the source of the nasty noise. My poor rotor!

Here is a close up of one of the GOOD pads...



Pad company name withheld until I hear from them.....

Waylen came to my aid at Laguna Seca. Very cool guy! Thought I might have done something serious to my front end, ended up being only loose lug nuts. Next time I'll check the torque every couple of sessions.

Way's an animal; every time I call him he's in the middle of his gazillionth mod of the day. I'm beginning to think he's taking this whole "I'll sleep when I'm dead" thing a little too seriously, however...

Also mucho thanks to Waylen

Waylen stopped by the house on Friday on his way to Sebring. He did 3 mods and then he stayed and had dinner with us.
What a GREAT guy. Watching him do the mods were informative and he didn't mind my watching or asking questions. I highly recommend him. We will see him later today as we head to Sebring to watch everyone and too see him race.
Only bummer is he lives in Indy (not too far from our original residence) and it's a little bit of a trip to do more mods. Wonder if I can talk him into a looooong house call trip?
