I painted my intake and am having second thoughts on the colour. I will bring some pieces so that you can see what i have chosen so far and what my options are.
I don't have a bench, so you would need stand I think. We can set that up in my back yard if the lift is busy.

I have an extra engine stand if we need it as well.

I think I have plasti gauge, but have to check on the Loctite. I will take a look this afternoon.

Fingers crossed, I just sent my calipers to John Stuart to get rebuilt.

Unfortunately the caliper I picked up from Rod did not have the correct brake line fitting. And there are no rebuilt units to be had in Ontario.

Did you call Randy at Whale Tail? I'm sure he has a bunch waiting to be used.

Hi Adam,

I'll attend the pre-cruise meeting at Tim's but we'll meet up with you later for the wrenching session.

Brief history about me and my 928: I live in Milton and have a blue on blue, automatic, 1988 S4 with 126,000km. I have not changed the TB/WP so a bit hesitant to do the cruise.

See you on Sunday.

No cruise for me, or Wayne Strutt. We are car pooling in a non-928 and will be there by noon for BBQ and wrenching.

Calipers on and brakes bled. That was a quick fix I must say.

Well gracefully I'm going to bow out although i really wanted to meet you guys and I live in Burlington too!
Below trifecta led to this decision:
928 out of commission
Broken foot
nasty cold my wife gave me yesterday.
Enjoy guys, next time for me.
