LOL @ the pink calipers idea. I know they make the paint in purple... pink might be a custom job
Since you should always have someone with you when you're working on your car (for safety reasons), it hardly matters.

Acutally, that leads me to a different question. How much engine work requires physical stregnth? Cause I'm really small (like 98lbs soaking wet) and not very strong. How will this limit me?

I saw they didn't have pink. Do you know if caliper paint is special? Do calipers heat up? If so I would only think that the paint I use needs to be able to handle heat, I can't see any other reason why it would need to be special.

and yeah...calipers heat up....ever watched speed channel where the rotos of cars were gloving red? And don't even try to touch a rim of your car...not to mention caliper when you're just done driving. I doubt that even engines heat up that much.

great job on your first mod. and yea basically as long as you can handle a screw driver, you can do engine work. now the tricky part is the suspension. now that takes some elbow grease to deal with. i just lowered the back half of my girls civic last night and now my back is in pain along with my fingers.
