I don't have a specific How-To to write up, but came across some very well done write ups and decided to link the write ups that came complete with lots of pictures and all pertain to our cars. Most of these are pretty basic jobs, but are asked about frequently. I figure that the pictures included in each write-up will help anyone with questions to get a better grasp at what they need to do to get the job done, more so than trying to type up an explanation will.

Here goes......

Those are great man. I think this should be a sticky.

nice informative post, i may actually try and do some of the basic things on this post, i hate paying to get an oil change and i would really like to paint the calipers and maybe rotors! i looked into stainless rotors but if i could improve them myself it would be a lot cheaper, i just need to get motivated! thanks

thank god for this thread! :-)
