It’s just so good, right? The famous Z1R inspection: AP2696 caliper, CP3125-6 master cylinder OH

I saw one the other day on Route 246 for the first time in ages—that “spinning tail” (an outdated term).

If you know what that means, you’re pretty much middle-aged now. Right? ( *´艸`)
The caliper came out nice and clean, so I’m going to install it now.


After ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, air blowing, and complete drying, you can feel confident.

Lately I’ve been thinking—it’s basically all about tools, equipment, and electricity. Yeah, electricity is crucial.
Actually, I’m starting to feel like nothing works without electricity these days. (‘ω’)ノ

Top is used, bottom is new.

The new one had some shiny weird stuff on it, so I blew it off with compressed air.
I’m starting to think Lockheed (AP) can’t be trusted at all.

The rubber feels oddly soft and strange to the touch.

The softness made assembling the cup really easy and nice. (‘ω’)ノ

Lately I’ve been seeing something unfamiliar. This tolerance control is really impressive, I have to say.

The master cylinder came out very clean. Built-up grime can add a certain aging character, don’t you think?

This CP2696 had pretty stiff piston action, so after the OH I worked it over thoroughly. The feel came back, the leak stopped, and it’s working great.

Now it’s just the inspection and we’re done! (‘ω’)ノ
