I would be down. I need to address a squealing issue from one of the front brakes. I think something is binding up but not sure what. I also have some new lower body stripes to install and could really use some help with those.

If you change your plans, bring your RC Mini so that I can get it sorted for you.

I can bring some.
I will grab a box of coffee then. Any preferences? Starbucks, Dunkin', Panera?

I got my new water pump installed along with new hoses. I will bring the Mini and hopefully we can get my oil leaks fixed :)

I think it would be best to have it there as I lack tools and the lift. I know there is a lot of opinion on which brake fluid to use, any specific recommendations.

I run ATE Super Blue Racing. I don't know if can get it anymore due to the EPA banning it for being blue.......seriously :(

I have one if not 3 jugs of the Blue juice in my garage. It's yours if you want it.

It seems my 2010 is leaking. I have noticed drops on the ground where I park. May need a few mins on the lift to check it out.

Right now MiniX2 has the lift for his suspension work, but when he's done we can certainly raise your car up for a look - bear in mind with my low ceilings the lift doesn't go up more than about 3 feet - if you really need to get completely under it you can always use the lifts at DIY Olathe, they're very reasonably priced

In 20+ years, I've seen MiniX2 buy Dunkin coffee twice: once to send to you when you were deployed and another time when he had worked for 22 hours straight in Boston, where Dunkin is on every corner and caffeine had become essential. :lol:

I worked at Starbucks during college and drank the free coffee by the gallons! Can't hardly afford it anymore but still stop in some.
