I have had an issue with the fluid leaking out of the T5 in my pickup truck for quite a while now so finally pulled it out to see what the issue is. Thought it was the front collar but turns out to be the "plug" below it. Now this looks like a normal frost plug but after watching some you tubes on this trans I find...

So my boy is selling his 2003 Honda Civic SI Coupe and we were wondering what the thickness of the rotors and pad material needs to be to pass a certification these days.

What are you guys using to lube parts of the brake caliper and back of pads? I need to do the brakes on my wife's Mazda3 and before I start would like to have everything on hand. I have read that synthetic will take higher heat than dino grease and is safer on rubber components.

So I had some 22" rims given to me but they are without centre caps.
