Dunno yet, maybe Firestone but didn't think about Nap.
NTB off Zumbehl does all mine if I don't do it myself.

Paid something around a hundred bucks a few years ago for a 3yr alignment program and it transfers to another vehicle once.

They let me stand under the car and verify all settings before we drive it off.

I believe one of the large (32oz) bottles should be sufficient to bleed.

Definitely enough... unless you need to flush out a ton of air pockets in the system...

My helmet came from Simpson today. I just got registered. Next I need to discuss joining SCCA with someone who is knowledgeable about the licensing structure among a few other things. Anyone care to waste a few minutes with me Saturday? I would really appreciate it.

Anyone familiar with BG Products DOT 4 brake fluid? I was planning a flush for tomorrow. That should more than get me caught up on the Honda 30K mile maintenance schedule. Everything else has already been done at least once (most things twice).

Big thanks to Keith for letting me come over, use his experience, and his tools! Went over to his place last night and did more than just flush the entire brake system, ended up changing the engine oil and diff. oil. Next up is changing the manual trans. fluid but I probably won't have time to do that until after the PDX.

Thanks Keith!

There are really only two licenses you can get with the SCCA. Regional W2W and National W2W. (wheel 2 wheel road racing)


Your membership with the SCCA gets you access to RallyX, Solo, PDX, Club Trials - and anything else that isn't wheel to wheel road racing.


To get your road racing license you need to take a Drivers School (typically 2 day) in a car that is legal for one of the SCCA classes and has a logbook (including all safety items) and then compete in two (I think) races within the first year of having your rookie license. For your national license I think you have to have your Regional license for a certain amount of time and compete in a certain number of National races every year to maintain it.
