Sorry I missed this, as far as width I think it's about 27 feet but depth it's only cool 17 feet. Not ideal by any means but I'll manage. Those are also guesstimates so not really 100% sure on the length and width

 

Lookin good.
Whoever built your garage needs to be shot. Who the hell builds a garage you can't park in?

 

nice seein the new project in person buddy, that things gonna be a blast... cant wait to get crankin on it... i see many busy weekends in your and my future lol

 

Yeah I agree! You should see some of the other ones that they built. One of them you can't park in it period if you don't have a two door civic, it's just ridiculous.

Hell yeah!!! Thanks for the help too!! There is no way I would of been able to bring that crap home from sears on the back of my bike!!! Hell we barely got it to fit in Ashley's car! I can't wait to start playing with my new toys!!




Ohh yeah...I got some new tools!!
Will post up pics when I get home late late today.

 

Got a few new toys...biggest of which is this!!


Anyways, after I spent the morning cleaning my garage and unpacking my new toys I wasted a few hours running around to 3 different hardware stores in LA traffic to pretty much come out empty handed.
I did get a torque wrench and got the Hat's on the rotors per spec and then spent a few hours doing this to the bolts...



I kinda got good at it after a while and was disappointed when I got them all done!
Slapped on the driver's side rear brake...





And then went to do the passenger side and my luck ran out...as usual I was putting a nut onto one of the caliper studs and half-way up the stud the nut started to get difficult to turn(the nut wasn't even touching the calipers yet so there was no force applied to the nut at all), so I backed it off all the way and just at the very end when the nut was half off the stud the nut seized. Same thing happened to the other one except I was able to get the nut off and this is what the stud looked like...




Found some shavings on the stud, threads on the stud and the nut were practically melted . I was just gonna put the nut on hand tight so I can shim the calipers and rotors but as it got difficult to turn I backed it all the way off and this is what happened.

Well I'm gonna give wilwood a call tomorrow, I was hoping on having the brakes done today but it looks like it'll take all week because I'm gonna need new studs and locking nuts.

 

damn that sucks buddy, but looks like wiring the bolts came out great... dont worry about the brakes they will get done buddy.... hell dude im just damn happy to see you tearing into this all on your own dude

 

ahhh damn bro that sucks about the bolts...

Im sure T will help you get it sorted out, if I can run down there and pick anything up for you let me know, I can also bring it down your way too.

Keep me posted.

 

Actually I was thinking I might drive up there tomorrow or Wednesday most likely and maybe we could grab lunch. Looks like I'll be needing a few more things from them anyways and I'd rather not wait for the mail to get all of it. Will let you know tomorrow after I talk to their techs.

 

That's how I feel everytime I get stuck on something stupid.

 

yea lunch sounds great... havent seen you lately, itd be good to catch up, let me know.

btw - alex got a much better job... you wont believe where either
