Thanks...eternal work in progress

Got the oil cooler installed! Yay!

SPC Camber arms went on RoZy last night. No pics of the install as I was time pressed, but it went great.
Alignment day is this Sunday with the Zedmonton Lounge at Fountain Tire. Will get some shots of it then!

The camber pattern was pretty obvious before i installed the new arms....

Alignment day was yesterday and we got three cars thru Landon's shop. My rears are now sitting pretty at -1.2. Very happy with this setting and the 305's....

Forgot to mention that I got the SS Clutch line retaining clip back on while I was doing the oil cooler install. It was a pain, but I feel better knowing that there will be no vibration damage to the line!

Also did the steering lock fuse delete so I don't have to worry about the Steering Lock crapping out while I am in the middle of no-where!

My next mod may very well be a full paint correction (again) and acrylic paint sealant... I am just tired of fighting swirls with just standard carnauba polish.

The one where the top of the SS line attaches to the hard line, beside the exhaust manifold outlet. It slides off to remove the old rubber line and then needs to be replaced when the new SS line goes in to prevent vibration wear. It's just a pain to get at!

ahhh kool man i have a ss clutch line also but havent installed it yet... where can i purchase one? the retaining clip thing

wheee! · 06-14-2012, 09:46 PM

It's already on the car. It holds the stock line in place. You also get an extra one when you remove the stock line from the tranny too!

Had the wheels checked for balance today as there was a slight shimmy in the steering at about 120 kmh. Took the wheel off at the shop and found this:

Hub centric ring had snapped clean off!
Luckily, my buddy that owns the shop had a spare set of 15mm H&R spacers and I was able to get one from him to replace it. Now I'll have to see how good the warranty is from H&R!

Not really. I checked it out as soon as I felt the vibration. No problems really.

Did a small mod this last week... swapped ONE of my hood dampeners from the V2 Kellyefields kit with ONE of the V1 kits. The lift is now perfect! Drops closed about 1 ft above closed position and raises smoothly after the 1 ft mark on its own. No bounce at the top and a smooth fitment when closed. Now mine and NuffZed's car have a mixed pairing but perfect balance of lift and drop! Very happy!

Mine at the last car show:

NuffZed's in my garage getting some installs, plus the hood lift mod.
