Hm. Really? Off to the tech subforums for me I guess

I'm sure LPI can. Or else Speed Bleeder Products, Inc 888-879-7016. Sku SB1010SS $66 shipped.

IMHO, not worth it. Sure you turn these lesser than the OEM bleeders but I had more trouble keeping the air out of these speed bleeders than the stock ones. I went back to the factory bleeders after my second bleed.

If I find them, ill give them to you.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback. May not be worth it after all I guess.

I have them on my car, and I have to say I do suffer from a mushier brake pedal... as far as I can tell, compared to my experiences behind the wheels of other FRS. I can't say for sure it's due to the speed bleeders as I have yet to do a full bleed since the initial flush to RBF660, but that could be a good reason why I'm not satisfied with the brake pedal feel. It could also be the result of my switching back to stock pads from the race pads, and the perceived loss in brake firmness. Call it unconfirmed until further testing on my part.

Well I'm pissed. CEL came back on and the dealer was a pain about it. I wanted a loaner car for FAILED warranty work. Not to much to ask considering you didn't fix it correctly the first time...

Clipdat · 09-29-2013, 08:44 PM

Damn sorry for the continued headaches. Why can't dealerships get it right with this car and service??

BRZkitty · 09-30-2013, 06:23 PM

So...I was at the stealership today... and I was walking back to my car to leave.. but then only to find out someone hit and run

.... dealership is taking care of it so I'm driving my hot boaty loaner legacy..

WTF! Why do people do this!! At least be responsible!!!

@BRZkitty: I hate that crap. Does the dealer have any security cameras?

On a side note, anyone coming up to Sacramento for the airshow this weekend? Was thinking about going since I missed the last 3 or 4 years but it's not looking very exciting this year due to the sequester.
