Sorry all my photo hosting dies from years ago. I don't have the pics any more. But once you get it opened up, its pretty simple. The wire colors are what you really need.

Exactly! Just another contact point in the loop

Sorry. Somehow those pics are no longer in my imageshack acct. I dont know what happened, I didn't delete them but I sure don't see them in there any more. Hopefully the text is helpful. I can answer questions!

I'll try to see if I can rehost them tomorrow! Sorry!

started with the early cars as stated. 5 speed, and some upgrades. In the trucks you got buckets over the bench etc. Now its base model...

just put a set of 265/70/17's on mine last week. So far they are great. Had them out in some sloppy snow and they help awesome, no major vibes. Im not willing to go to a 285 for the amount of road driving i do

My Audi has these, in red, very nice at night. I may have to do this now..... Not in blue though. Ic you can figure out a way to recess it into the hole a bit, your eye won't really catch on it.

I have speed bleeders also, love them! And yes the fluid was changed when the calipers were changed 1.5 years ago. And again when I put the new ones on. On mine it seemed the inside of the outside (if that makes sense!) on the pistons was pretty nasty, im guessing that some moisture sneaks past...

I had new moog grease able let's pressed in. Way cheaper than buying new arms from the dealer, and are now grease able.

Mine is a sport with the larger brakes. It seems to eat calipers.... Might be the wet PNW, but I'm not the only one that seems to go though them.

Gets hot, warps rotors. I was getting some warped rotor feedback, used a temp gun on both sides after my commute, one was 150 degrees hotter, sure enough that was the one that was hanging. The don't 'lock' really, just hang up so the pads don't come all the way off the rotor. Easy way to tell...

Tires two days ago, and new front brake calipers yesterday!

03 V6, almost 200k now. Same as above, brake calipers (did them yesterday! 1.5 years old and locked up) and just PM stuff. Recently did LBJ's and a CV, A/C relay, thats about all i can think of.

New shoes. 265/70/17 Duratracs. They didn't make a 255/75/17 in LT so I went a little smaller. Replaced 275/70/17 Silent armours. On OME 885/895's, thye have dropped a fair bit over the years.

Theoretical perfect is 14.7, pretty common for cars running turbo's on stock programming to run pig rich like that at full throttle, its the ECU trying not to kill itself as it advances timing. ~12 is a good safe ratio on a turbo car.
