I really havent been posting for the last while, (been back in college for police foundtations and kickin ass doing it too), and figured I would post my newest issue with my EP. I went to put my winters on about 3 weeks ago and got a bit of a surprise. Pulled my rear tires off, found my rear brakes have a nice big line running through my rotor, built up brake dust caused it. So I need to replace the rear brakes. Also found my camber arm bushings are starting to get a bit rough, so should probably replace those too.
Went and pulled off my front wheels and look what i found.

Belt is starting to get a few cracks in it and its starting to get kinda glazed over. And if you look closely at my control arm bushing....

yep...big rip in the front bushing.
Also my front brakes are pretty much metal on metal, and my slotted rotors are pretty much done for.

OH! and best part..I got layed off 3 weeks ago and have zero income right now, at x-mas time too. The only upside to all of this, I bought a bunch of these parts back in the summer/fall so now i just need to get them installed. I also still need to buy new rotors for the front. Other good thing too is I bought other things like speed bleeders, stainless brake lines, and a brake master cylinder stopper too.
Love gettin ready for winter.
