It will literally never be run in anything but airplane mode, unless I need to update Uprev. Won't even touch my home network.

But I still don't like the sounds of that!

What about a performance shop instead of a muffler shop?

We don't have cat requirements in AB so no biggy here, but did mine myself anyhow. Really it wasn't too bad.
He explained to me about the EPA and how they can be audited and I could get a summons to bring my car to a shop so they can do inspections and crap. He said the owner got popped doing it back in the day and it was a $25K fine for the shop.

HOLD THE PHONE! I just thought of a way to get this done... Thank you Chase and Davey for the good idea! You guys helped me remember that I have a mutual friend with a shop owner :tup:

SOOO much better! :)

1 down 3 to go. Then it's time for a quick road test, and take the wheels back off to adjust all the suspension - hopefully for the last time!

I believe that is to make sure people dont put the rear wheels on the front. You can remove it.

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 12:34 PM
Found the answer. It is disposable :p

Thanks!

Never paid attention to it before, and now at first glance I was like "oh great some stupid ABS speed sensor" lol

Glad it was a nothing thing.

Leingod 07-08-2016 12:45 PM
hahaha. He did the same thing I did!!

Me:Like "Wtf is this thing? 0_o".
Kernchan: Take plyers and rip it off
Me: will it hurt anything?
kernchan: Just do it
Me; *pop* dat was easy
kernchan: Step 1 done

Just do the test pipes yourself. It isn't that bad, really.

Worlds better. My god did it ever need that.
Guess that's why I was so impatient for my Stillen order to get here! It was about the spacers, not the oil cooler or underdrive pulleys :p

Now I just need to take out a little of the -2.5 rear camber

Depending on your drop you may need rear toe arms too. That's where I'm at.

Going to see if raising it about 3/8" will offset that need first though.

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 01:26 PM
Now my meaty tires feel even meatier :p

Yup, ordering those too. :driving:

I didn't plan on having to replace the mid-links. An unfortunate stumble, and an expensive one. The SPL mid-link with bucket is over $700! And without true coilovers in the rear that's what is needed.

Good chance I'm just going to write-off the BC coilovers and get a new, proper set. Then the rear adjustable toe link is only $200 instead

Oh you need all that, I thought you ment just toe bolts :icon17:

Screw toe bolts. Anything that requires me to wallow out the bolt holes in my subframe in order to fit does not seem like a good idea! :icon14:

I have some that came with my rear camber links, and would solve my problem but that doesn't sit well with me.

I would hope that doesn't happen to anyone near mine EVER!, as they would be in the hospital for awhile.

When I was a kid, my dad would take me out on that pier while a barge would go up the river. It was freakin' awesome. I still enjoy driving up to the soo locks in sault ste marie and watch the big *** ships :tup:

I dont want to think about what that would be like. Ill have to ask the ER staff if they have ever seen that come in.

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 02:19 PM

I'm definitely pulling the drivers seat when I install it.
My back and neck is screwed up enough as it is

ChaseZ 07-08-2016 02:27 PM
Z now parked for the weekend. Can't take it out when my boys are here since they can't both ride in it. Put some miles on the pos DD instead :p

BoneZ 07-08-2016 02:41 PM
This new chick at work keeps parking closer and closer to Da Silver Thang. Now she's damn near in my spot and I couldn't even open my door all the way.
