Excellent. I figure eventually Im going w/ the GTM kit if I do go SC, so someone w/ experience never hurts to have around.

if you decide to take the FI plunge and want help putting it in, let me know.

The garage is available...

Since you already have a secretary. Do you need someone to walk/exercise your dogs, more like someone to run away from your dogs for free? Give me a holler. :tup:

Kirk's garage is still open for business

1) Trooper (springs and a lift kit) Done
2) Masa (springs) Did it himself some where else...
3) GM Traitor (springs and 24s) Still waiting on the 24s
3) Eastwest2300 (crooked Spoiler) All done and we managed to get it on strait so no crooked Spoiler... Please move along...
4) b1adesofcha0s (swift springs)(whatever he brings past)
5) b1adesofcha0s (intake) Easy install except for the stupid heat wrap tape...
6) Kirkster (Hotchkis sway bars and Rays Centercaps) Still waiting on the center caps... :shakes head:
7) Shadoquad (Akibono Break kit and Stainless steel lines)

Put Al on the list...

The Hotchkis bars went on fairly easily, with the vert there is a triangulation brace that I had to take off on the rear of the car. So I had to do a bit of extra wrenching.

The Sway bars work perfectly, the car feels great. NO understeer that I have been able to tell so far, and I was pushing it hard in a few corners where the car used to understeer and push very easily...

Car stays nice and flat and corners much better than before. I was hitting my test road at far greater speeds than I was able to before. Carves up the twisty bits like a well sharpened blade. All and All :yum::yum::yum:

Still have a JDMEGO surprise for someone (Jon) at one of the meets...[/QUOTE]

This weekend I did my buddys brakes in his Volvo C30. We only did the front pads/rotors. So I did most of the work on the 1st, and then told him he was doing the entire opposite side and I'll watch.

For things as simple as an oil change, I'd just simply sit back and watch/instruct (piss off to getting dirty when I dont have to haha) and let him learn a thing or two.

:iagree:

I actually enjoyed doing the oil change on my Z, it was the 1st maintenance job I did on her.. Sooo much fun. And seeing the engine was damn near breath taking.:tup:

GM_Traitor3.5 10-11-2011 11:05 AM

Happy to hear the new sways are doin what they should :tup:

I'd still like to get that front fsb on my car... but good gawd it looks like a pain in the arse.

Yeah that's what he did last time. I should be able to do all or most of it by myself with Kirk just watching in case I need any help.

Yesterday, at Kirk's Garage, he and I installed my brake upgrade from Z nats.

It took a bit longer than we thought it would, but in the end, the brakes work wonderfully and look fantastic.

Look ma no wheels!
