The curse has reared its ugly head! Oh no! :D Good luck shaking the bugs out Rob.

Poor baja.

Turns out that the outer halves of my calipers were frozen... AGAIN.
I'm getting them fixed THIS time & keeping my eyes peeled for front Brembos. ;)

So Rich & Brian @ FFS have been wrestling with the Baja (Curse & all) for a while now.

Pistons before & after.

No wonder it didn't want to stop.

ALSO, the new rotors that were SUPPOSED to work.... well their outer diameter was too big.... & the calipers bottomed out on them. Soooo... they had to be machined down.... To the tune of $100.00 (Guy broke a lot of bits. Apparently not many people need rotors machined AROUND THE OUTER EDGE...

)

Next, they played with some suspension stuff... 01 LL Bean wagon rears leveled her out.... FINALLY.

Before...

After...

They fixed a coolant leak in the AWIC system too... The "Quick fill" was a quick DRAIN too... Cheap, poorly machined aluminum part

I SHOULD have it back soon.

It's been a while.... lol

The Baja is in at Area1320 for a new clutch & custom ice box install for the AWIC...

Might just roll out with a rotated turbo setup too.
