Wrong parts...

Frustration. Aggrivation. And other "-ations".
Yeah so even though I'm technically a "professional parts picker outer" the computer system I use on a daily basis and depend on... sometimes stinks really BAD!

The rotors, pads, caliper rebuild kits, and guide pins were all wrong... way too small. The Big-Wheel I had when I was 5 had bigger brakes than what this thing suggested - but of course I didn't see that until after parts were paid for and had to be special ordered.

Now I need to measure my setup and double check that what the Electronic Parts Catalog suggests is indeed the right size parts for my car. I could go into more detail about how wrong it was but - I've been told that I can be Too Detailed (and long winded) so I'll just leave it at that.

Wednesday has been penciled in for some shop time at my friend Malcom's garage... ahh a lift and a big professional grade compressor... in a garage with lights and a concrete floor... Can you say Joe-HEAVEN?
