I have heard a lot of good things with the ART pipes. Good numbers. I think BoostLee has that setup, and the soundclip was awesome.

Yes, Happy Friday Mr. Kenchan.

The only Z action for me today was an uneventful drive to the office. I must watch Game 7 tonight -- so no Z action after work.

Tomorrow --Bridjit curb ramp delivery. Next week, Swift Spec-R installation.

hello, mr.onzedge!

ahhhh, is that the tiny ramp that goes on the curb?

very smart to get that before installing the springs.

I will post pics. I bought only the two end pieces -- 8 feet total. My driveway is one car wide and very long (very old house).

after you're done check to ensure that the 16 (was it) or so bolts for the covers are snug tight. they tend to fall off after a while due to dealerships not tightening down enough (or over tightening them and cross threading

)

Mr. Kenchan is correct. I have lost 2 of them. For some reason, they are not stocked parts either. Go figure.

yah, i use to get my G's oil change done at the dealer way back when they had 3 free oil changes offered for cars bought there. well, ended up i lost 2 screws as well for the 12 or so that is used on the G.

and you're right, they dont stock these screws.

luckily i had a few in my screw bin with the same 10mm hex and length so added a stainless washers and fixed.

never gone to the dealer for oil change ever since.

I wish I could blame the dealer, but I have performed all but the first of my 8 oil changes myself.

I plan on doing the oil changes myself from this point on too, but I need to get some ramps first.
