Quick brake rotor comparo lesson
#31
Good to hear from you John. The car isnt mine yet per se, but my next summer it should be worked off . Rear brakes are going to remain the stock 4-pistons. I will probably play around with the bias valves to figure out what offers a good balance.

Title: A Day in the Life of Tom's Turbo
Jon's friend bought Tom's 951.
Jon's friend: "Tom can I buy your 951?"
Tom: "Yes."
Jon's friend will give it to Jon after he works it off by working on his (Jon's friend's) cars:
Jon's Friend: "Jon, I got an idea. You can work on my cars and I will give you $ XX.XX and hour and when you have earned $ X,XXX.XX I will give you the turbo. Ok?"
Jon: "Great idea. Then I will buy air fresheners, brakes and lots of tires/wheels for it!"
Got it now?

Dan, you forgot one thing.
In the deal was jon's slave labor to swap the struts on my S2 with the konis. you remember, the swap where we forgot about bump stops and dust shields.
you remember the swap where i sold a rennlister my old shocks/springs/struts for less than I would have gotten from paragon, and than had to pay more than i got for the old stuff for new dust shields and bump stops.
a small price to pay for three days at watkins!!

That is correct, but not entirely correct. The car is still Tom's!
This is the correct text:
Jon's friend Tom bought Tom's 951.
So when Jon worked for Tom to swap the struts as part of the deal, Jon was not working for Tom when he swapped the struts. in other words, the time Jon spent on Tom's car swapping the struts does not count as time working on Tom's car towards the 951.
Got it? Good!

If you have trouble with the deadline, maybe you can get Jon to help.
But if Jon is working for John on John's Turbo, he will not be working for Tom on Tom's Turbo, which means John's Turbo will stay John's turbo, and Tom's turbo will stay Tom's turbo. And John's turbo is not the same at Tom's turbo, which is the same a Tom's Turbo, which is the same as Jon's turbo.
Where is Dave when we need him? I'm gonna ask Rob where Dave is.
Is it lunch time yet? This thinking is making me hungry. Perhaps Pappa Johns or Subway?
