New Fun Game: Guess the Fluid

^ +1 on brake fluid.. looks to be about the right amount.. and dirty too! 1 hour to drain and refill and bleed is pretty good! I know a lot of people are intimidated by working on clutch/brake hydraulics.. and will only let a shop bleed the systems. But its really straightforward, so did sneezix guess it right?

Never get that much out of the clutch, and I sure hope it wouldn't the an hour to change the winshield wiper fluid, so I'm on the Brakes bandwagon too.
Took me an hour to change my tranny fluid this weekend; 10 mins to drain, 45 mins putzing about with that mickeymouse pump to fill it. 5 mins to get the crick out my neck after.
I need to raise the car higher for that job.

U can buy a 5$ plastic pump from autozone and it takes about 5 mins to pump all the gear oil into the tranny. I tried doing it with the nipple on the bottle the 1st time... never again.

I don't mean to hijack the thread completely, but speaking of brake fluid (and having read quite a bit on here about brakes recently) how often do you guys do a complete brake flush? Every year? few years? I have just been going through some sticking brakes so this seems like a good idea!

New driveshaft universal joints
oil change
trans fluid change
diff fluid change
coolant change
front Hawk HPS pads
ReSpeed SS clutch soft line
full Energy Suspension Poly bushing kit
The ES kit is going to be a PITA because the bolts that locate the rear control arms are fused to the brass bushings. I'm going to have to drill out the bolts, burn out the old bushings, and then press in the new ones. I did it to half of the bushings (the bushings that are located at the rear axle) when I put in a new rear axle a few years back, but I never got around to doing the others. It's not going to be fun...

Naw, just use an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel and hack those bolts right off. Drilling will take hours, but cutting them off will take less than a minute.
I don't think I'll be at DGRR at all this year. I might stop by on Friday, but I'm thinking that I might head straight to the Mitty Thursday night. I'll be camping on the infield all weekend.
The guys at DGRR are planning a cruise down very early morning on Sunday to take part of the world record attempt.

I also made my own bushing press. I will be putting up pictures and a write-up soon.
What world record? Most pollution created by the fewest number of cars on a Sunday morning cruise?

lol, birds will be dropping from the sky when we start all those rotaries up. At least there shouldn't be any mosquitos to deal with though. ![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
The record attemt is for the most Mazdas on a track at one time.

Now that's funny.

I don't know if a helmet is required for the record attempt. Maybe ask in the Mitty thread in the events section.
Herblenny is planning a caravan from DGRR to Atlanta, and I think they are leaving at 0630 in order to make it by noon. Couple hundred miles maybe? Check the thread on this in the DGGR header under the events section. I think they've got like 30 people signed up for the trip, and he got special ticket pricing for them.
Okay, here you go:

Caravan Thread: Umm, well, I guess I saw that thread on some other rotary car club website. Can't think of where that might be though.
