I Got lots of work done on the MM this past Weekend with a few buddies for the Summer cruises.

Installed new brakes & rotors & painted the calipers black.
The brakes were totally shot" :eek:

Also installed the new EMP Stewart Water Pump & made A big Difference in performance.Also new plate holder the other got crumpled & a new fuel filter.

Re oiled the The JLT Air cleaner,& installed new Mazda MX-5 (http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia. org%2Fwiki%2FMazda_MX-5&ei=JcLlTdesNMji0QHsrJj7Cg&usg=AFQjCNHYidJ5npUYQqlwTLzlKU WXh16LFw) driving light's,"The OEMs were shot.:eek:

New fender badges, Royal purple oil change ,Flush & re bleed the brakes with new fluid, Then Sea foam the intake & cylinder spark plug holes & some in the gas tank.


The big prob was new E shoes were installed but blew apart & had to be taken out :mad2:
"Has anyone had trouble replacing E brakes"
They were a installed correctly but looks like a faulty kit to me when the springs broke but no damage to the rotors.The MM runs like a champ & evan more aggressive then before. :burnout:
next off to the track if the weather here is ever good.

I posted the pics in my Member Galleries http://www.mercurymarauder.net/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/page/1/ppuser/7467 (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/../gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/page/1/ppuser/7467):burnout:

We had to shorten the water pump bolt's by grinding off some of the nub of the bolts because they were too long.As the EMP pump is a little smaller then the stocker.Do a test fit first with the bolts.:)
