*The FL5 Track Junkie Thread*

[BigBird]

I've removed and reinstalled those bolts before on the FK8 and both FL5's, and have never run into an issue. At this point I almost wish I hadn't asked. Ignorance is bliss.

I decided to shorten my list as I just simply ran out of time on the rack!

I got the trans fluid exchanged, tires rotated, and front brake pads replaced. Not everything I wanted to do, but the car is still in the same basic form as it was last time I was out on track!

Good call. Last thing you want to do is miss the weekend because of an optional ball joint replacement.

Exactly. I'm going to need more time to mull that one over, and it seems like it would make sense to do the spoon inserts at the same time.

LOL yep. Tezz removed his brake rotors when he did it, so I might as well pile the brake lines and 6 piston kit into the mix with all the other crap at the same time, and just know that I'm going to be wrestling with car stuff for at least half a day.

That sounds like a spring project to me. It'll be cold soon.

It may very well be.

Don’t forget the carbon ceramic rotors then.

Yes do them both at the same time. Balljoints 1 hour each side. Ridged collars about 2 hours. Not as bad as it seems.

Are you still using AC Delco Syncromesh (10-4014) in the trans?
