One step closer to a nuclear holocaust.

They are still in the process of getting it back, yes. In the end they will get it. I would entertain the thought of getting the hell outta dodge, that is for sure!!

I do not know if anyone has posted this yet... I heard this on the news a few days back. A couple that owned a gas station received a nice six million dollar deposit in their bank account, and ran!! You always hear about the story when they give the money back... This... this was NOT the case, Here is the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30885401/ Could YOU take it and run??

I have yet to see a pair that works either!! Thanks for the prompt feedback. I will post back when I can get under it... hopefully tomorrow. Adjust first, of course. I am lucky, the Yaris does not have an ABS. I got that thing as bare boned as I could get it. As far as I know... Toyota does not have an ABS on the Yaris, even the "S" model. Alright, get back to you later. Thanks, Rob.

Holy crap!!

And I hoped he would not be elected into office... SO, I think we know what we can expect when he is faced with confrontation. If what he is doing now can be considered a precursor to what he does in the future as president, we can kiss our rights bye-bye!!

I think it would give you about the same results. I will probably go by contact/feel, as that is how I know best. I am extremely amused that these do not self adjust. The last vehicle I had with drum brakes was a '69 Bronco (where you did the same procedure to adjust the brakes) - that was forty years ago!! If/when I ever have to bleed the brakes on this thing... ignition key on or off when bled?

Just so that we are clear... take the tire off, keep the drum on with a couple of lug nuts, adjust, rotate, repeat... contract after contact 12 notches.

The picture is obviously with the drum off... so adjust, put the drum on, rotate and listen/feel for contact? If not contact, take drum off, adjust and repeat?

The drums without the grommet (that lets you get a screw driver in to adjust them) should self-adjust. How that happens is what I am curious about... I know what you mean when you adjust them until the pads rub on the drums. Good input. I wonder how Toyota adjusted them when I took it in...?

Perhaps a dumb question... yes I read the sticky. I just changed the pads on my daily driver (2007 Toyota Yaris). I would have thought that there would be more "pedal" after doing so because the pistons where pushed back in, etc. I have not tried to bleed the brakes yet. When I DO, does it matter where the key position is (on or off)? Secondly, newer cars have self adjusters on the drum brakes (mine has drum in the rear). On an older vehicle you could manually adjust them with a flat head screw driver, or if the adjusters worked properly, drive in reverse and hit the brakes. Is it even the same in new cars? The reason I ask, is about 40,000 miles ago I took it to the dealership and they told me that the brakes just needed to be adjusted, and it came back with more pedal. How did they adjust the brakes - bleed them? or is there something I don't know... Thanks All - Sic

Absolutely - good show. Hopefully we will have more turnout the next time. All in all it was a fun time. I met a few of you, and all clean rides. Glad the weather held out, ha-ha - the wife was more burnt than anything (she is kind of light-complected).

OORAHH!! Thanks for sharing. Dogs played a HUMONGOUS role in wars... they still do.

I did not talk to the TA owner. Honestly... I thought he was a member of the forum already :shrug:

Do eeeeet!!!

If you have more put them on!! Good work on the show, btw. We need more people to attend!! No fire marshals this time.

That... that is a big A$$ fish!!

Here are some pics that I took. I did not take a whole lot, but here they are... http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/Car%20Show/?albumview=slideshow That Neon... that Neon was SPECIAL!!

Sorry for the triple post. Here is a slide show with a few pics from the show, including "Special's" Neon. Does anyone know him?? http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/gjsantos2/Car%20Show/?albumview=slideshow

That guy was special, that is for sure. Good meeting you, Doc.

Met a few of you... Mark, nice to see your ride up close - it is quite the machine!! Nice to see the GT500SS, too, those are fairly far in and few between. Glad the weather held out, too. Did not make it to the meet after the show (the Shelby is still limping on an unbalanced drive shaft). Neat running into the IPS guys, too. CR will have to do another show this autumn. Hopefully we will get more to show up, and less conversation with the fire marshal, ha-ha.

Squashing... they are doing a lot of that, lately. The Focus posted in thread one is a nice looking ride, IMO. The Festiva is right around the corner, as well... They are throwing a diesel in there? I can't imagine that taking a foothold here in the U.S. They had to go through enough loops just getting the VW TDI back in.

No, Ohio is bad. Take the word of whoever came up with that list!! ^^

I can imagine that... OSP troopers are... STRICT.
