Welcome to the IHoP
I've been haggling with a recycler for over a year on an engine they want $1K for. I've offered them $800 and they still refuse. It's been sitting there for 1.5 years and they won't deal for $200 less. Oh well.

Big brake upgrade thoughts
EBC Yellowstuff was my first idea, however, seeing that I will more than likely need new rotors I thought about going up in size. Bigger rotors are 7.5 lbs extra per wheel. Probably an extra 2-3.5 lbs for bigger calipers and it adds up to 10 lbs extra unsprung weight per wheel. Seems like EBC Yellow is only $25 more than the Greens in the UK. I'll be going there in April and I can get them in my luggage, so no shipping cost. But it's still up for discussion if the slightly smaller surface 2-piston caliper + bigger rotor = better performance than the stock single piston and rotor. Keep in mind again that I'm not buying a kit, I'm making a kit, so cost will be smaller for sure, just a lot of extra work. Are you overheating your brakes now? Do they fade a lot in use? What is your goal with going bigger? I'm never opposed to larger brakes, but I think Ryan nailed it here a more aggressive pad might be all that you need. The pads helped, the rotors not so much...unless bling is a help. helped with fade, heavy driving around town, hard braking getting off the interestate That was the pad upgrade. The drilled or slotted rotors are really only going to help with heat and gas dissipation which causes heat, which equals fade as you mentioned, but this should not be an issue unless you are towing, racing, and driving like Mario Andretti around town.

You have a caliper and/or pressure issue.

While I love big brakes, it's cheaper and easier to use a better pad. That will give you the most significant change. Hawk and EBC make great street pads. This will be far more cost-effective for you and you'll probably see better results versus the upgrade in size. Keep in mind, when adding bigger brakes, you are also increasing the weight (unsprung) and it could have a negative impact versus a positive one. Try the pads first.

I hate artificial light, but if I have to have it, I prefer a lamp of 4100K at least. Anything less is yellow.

Barefoot FTW! I have a good friend whose been barefoot running, nutrition, and paleo diet for years, so that definitely helps. There is a reason we have evolved and started wearing something to protect our feet, What reason is that? Everything I have read says we could EASILY of stayed barefoot and been just fine. Saying that is like saying that justin bieber and lady gaga is the result of evolution from bands like Guns and Roses, Poison, Led Zepplin, Def Leppard, and more. J I'm sorry,but that analogy is so far off base, but technically all "music" is an evolution of that before it. Gaga and Beiber may have some way been influenced by them. Back to the feet. While we may not have a NEED for shoes or clothes, the evolution of our brains to produce such textiles to adapt to our environment is evolution. We don't need modern medicine or practices either, but we have evolved to use them. They are all tools built out of a necessity, just like our arms, legs,fingers, yell, every part of us.- Welcome to the IHoP

Hell, many times I would just be cruising through them and find something interesting and purchase it. Can't do that any more.- Why nothing is selling in the classifieds....
I haven't been in the classifieds since it was changed. It it meant to be simpler and to avoid clutter, but IMO, it's more like a store, worse to navigate, HORRIBLE to mod, and just unappealing. When I have multiple items to sell, I want to do it in one spot and have all of it accessible with one click. The new thing is just back and forth. Sometimes change is bad.- Crossfire 360
You obviously have a channel issue. Could be as simple asa broken solder point or trace, or something as bad as half the board burnt up. If it's worth it to you, have it repaired,- Welcome to the IHoP

There are many grades and plies of Birch. The stuff you get from HD, Lowes or what not is 7 or 11 ply. They are not void free and not 100% Birch no matter what they say. True Baltic Birch in 3/4" is 13 ply and costs about $80-100 sheet and weighs a couple pounds less per sheet than MDF. Count the plies and grab the sheet. If it feels similar in weight to MDF, it's the good stuff. - What crazy claims have you heard people make?
