So I might need a chiropractor this year :)

The only time I will drive out to Philly in my EF is for the couple events at the Boeing plant. Which is not bad at all considering I'm on I-476 which is smooth now, and right around KOP.

I want to ride shotgun in my EF with a good driver so I can see what the car is really capable of. h:

I dunno how the brakes would hold up to racing though, one panic stop from 80 and they are pretty baked for 5 minutes. Is that a problem? :ugh:

Sounds like it. How do you described "baked"?

Where do you live? I'll drive it for you

I had to push the pedal quite a bit further down to stop, it just felt softer and the car didn't stop as fast. And you smell brakes inside the car :nervous:. I have new pads and shoes all around. I find it odd that the brakes fade after one 80-0 stop. Shouldn't they stand up to a little abuse?

I live on the Cape, I might drive that far for an auto-x if there's nothing around here which there probably isn't. You're in PA right?
That would be cool of you drove it. I bet a normal sized person has a little bit of an easier time of it too, at least with foot work.

Then again if I don't have to worry about shifting it wouldn't be too bad.

how much for a massage?
prices for our services are not negotiable. It's not a sale.. $20 is about the cheapest pedicure you're going to find in this area.

I charge $45 for an hour massage. But why do you care what our prices are anyway? You'll never come up here for a pedicure or massage...

Sounds like brake fluid - especially if the pedal got mushy and had to press down more. When was the last time you had the brakes fluid flushed? One little air bubble could turn into a huge one with one good hard stop cause it will expand. Also water in the lines could boil causing water vapor and air to form in the lines.

Yep I'm in PA about 60 miles west of Philly. You're in Cape May, NJ? THere's an autocross at Atco, NJ and soon to be at Thunderhill Park.

Cape Cod, MA.

Yeah, I am pretty sure the brake fluid has never been done. I'll probably do that when I have some time and money. I keep telling myself to do the fluid and rear disc and stainless lines at the same time, but how much does a brake fluid change cost, like $30? Not much wasted really.
