[Shotimes] Rear Parking Brake Cables and some news

[colin cooney]

Steve's right, A year after I went through the rear caliper lockup 
situation, my boss did too. He had a 92 or 93 gl wagon. Luckily I had my 
extra set of caliper slides and boots on hand and he was on the road after 
one night in the driveway, this was of course after his father in law 
mangled the bejeezus out of the old slide trying to get it off the car, but 
still good providence for a traveling sales guy.

I think that's why the brake response of the gen1 and 2 shos is so 
underwhelming, they aren't much (if any) upgraded from the standard Tauri... 
at least in the rear. My boss had the same Varga rear calipers on his SLO 
that were on the rears of mine.

On a more optimistic note, I've been squirreling away money due to the lack 
of interest in my 92, and have got a couple projects about to go under way. 
Hi flow one piece sho shop y pipe, dynomax cat back, sp motorsports intake, 
c&l 73mm maf, and the 93-95 center console upgrade. Soon to follow is the 
ignition switch fix, but that isn't keeping me up at night (yet). Oh, and 
strut tower braces...

Who knows, maybe I'll make it to the convention or other gatherings next 
year- I've only been meaning to since SHOcago.

If anybody has a good blower control module for sale , e me, I want to be 
able to take a date out next winter. "Dead blue date- no fun."
