    Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?

    I sharpened some knives this afternoon, while the Barrett Jackson Auction was on the TV in my garage. Mostly kitchen/cooking knives, but also my folding knife I used to carry at work. The main one I had to fix was Mum's favourite Victorinox utility knife, I used a rotary tool held on a vice to restore the edge, I don't know what she's been cutting with it, but it was messed up. I finished it off with a couple of different diamond particle sharpeners, one is so worn it basically just polishes the edge.

    Re: Installed some Conti DWS06's on the RedSport

    Recently discovered my inner rear brake pads at about 2mm when bleeding my brakes. I had a squishy pedal coming out of hibernation. Never bled them before. I didn't get air out but fluid was dark. The pedal feel is MUCH better now. I bled them with Motul Dot 5.1. A significant upgrade over Dot 3 and 4 and compatible with either. This is the first time I have needed rear brakes before fronts, ever, and at only 46k.....### VW? It is also the first time with an electronic rear parking brake, and they wear like garbage apparently. I have heard other owners, including Golf owners, who have had issues with rear brake wear on the electronic calipers. I got Brembo replacement rotors from ECS Tuning...the rotors are from overseas. They aren't even in the US catalog apparently. But they appear to be legit I measured them and they are almost too beautiful to install. Almost. For pads I got EBC Yellowstuff.

    I will use the same rotor and pad combo on the front when the time comes. $300 in parts for rears. $500 for fronts...but they are an upgrade. An unplanned one at that which will delay the catback by months. I have to fight for my car budget these days with all the plans for the homestead.
