Man this place is beat.
I rotated my tires yesterday, since the temp. finally rose above freezing. Good thing I did; my brakes are about done (pads).
Have any of you guys re-lined your calipers? How many miles were on the car when you did? Mine prob don't need it. I would like to clean up the calipers though, since they are rusty on the visible surface. I tried to clean the inside of the wheels with a Simple Green-like cleaner, and with Goof Off, but they still have a lot of nasty stains. Any suggestions on how to get that crap off?
I rotated front to back only, and now I have extra front tire noise. I hope it's only due to the difference in tread....
So now that it's above freezing here, I'm cruisin' with the top open and the Clay Aiken blaring!!!

Dang!! How many miles?! Don't they use salt on the roads up there????

Yeah they use salt but i don't do that much driving in the winter. I've got about 32K miles.

I've got 32K as well and I need new pads asap. I'm getting tons of squeal and also that dreaded grind that some people have been mentioning every time I brake. Hopefully the rotors won't require resurfacing. Little things are happening with this car that are really adding up. Besides the brakes, the rotors, the dash rattle (NOW I'm getting it), I have popped 2 headlights in 2 months and the gas cap failed inspection (what the hell?). Dumb things. I don't remember this many inconveniences with my Civic...

Hmm.....you'd better get to those brakes soon, or the rotors will require turning - from the sounds of things.
What do you mean by "popping" headlights?

He means he popped a cap in it's ass because it wouldn't light up enough of the road. :icon16:
