Details Please, what did you remove and what was the resistor value. Schematics, instructions, explanation?

They were both dead. Been driving the car around for about a week. It runs cooler now by 15-20 degrees.

Drop Link Replacement

Yesterday my replacement drop links arrived from "autochassistaiwan". So I got straight to it and changed over the rear links that afternoon. This morning I jack the font up and lo and behold they have sent me the wrong front links. Between the time I placed the order and the time I received them they have amended the listing by removing where it says suits the Boxster. When I sent them a message they replied saying they would refund half but whAT i want are the correct links.

Bummer

see the listing here https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-FRONT-2-REAR-SWAY-BAR-LINKS-PORSCHE-911-99-05/332289525464?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Did some work on my brake system. Replaced the rubber brake lines with Stoptech stainless steel lines, replaced the pads with new Brembos and flushed the system with fresh fluid using my Motive power bleeder. This is my first time doing work on the brakes and other than a couple of hiccups it all went well. That power bleeder makes fluid changes so easy.

+1 for the power bleeder. I can't imagine changing fluid any other way.

In regards to the Motive Pump. Do you pour Brake fluid in the pump or just use it dry for adding pressure and top off the master cylinder when needed. Also how many pounds do you pressurize the tank? I have the Motive and not real fond of it. I use a vacuum pump to bleed the brakes.

Thanks

Lew
