Such an unrelenting tease. Have reluctantly given up on Punkin’—you’ll eventually be laid to rest with her I’ve pretty much concluded. I am glad to hear she’s doing well. Gonna stick with Seal Grey for a while. Having just done wp/thermostat, coolant tank, coil packs, plugs (zero misfires!) and rear brakes, at nearly 110k, she’s still runnin’ strong too.
Just today…
In case you’re wondering about the Brake Wear light immediately below the speedo/odo, I have to confess I sometimes try to get too many miles out of parts including, sometimes, brake pads.
That exposed channel is, of course, the tunnel for the sensor. Though the wire was still intact, the plastic material surrounding that portion that inserts into the pad has officially seen better days. Just pulled the wire out completely for now…need to decide if I want to buy a replacement or just plug it back in and zip tie it out of the way. Or I suppose I could cut off most of it and simply twist/solder the wire ends together. In spite of self-incriminating evidence to the contrary, I generally keep pretty close tabs on pads and don’t particularly need the sensor.
The Textars should definitely last awhile—haven’t done any track driving in a few years and, without that, I’m pretty easy on brakes…with the occasional, sometimes noteworthy exception.
I’ve got in-laws in Hastings, by the way…pretty sure you know where that is
