What did you do with your Z today III

alcheng · 04-13-2012, 11:05 AM

Ok, it's 12:03pm and I already got this when I press the "rep" button....

"You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

Maybe I Z-Love you guys too much...

i think ive read someone almost stripping the nut head or something trying to remove it.

For me it was getting the swifts to compress enough for me to get the strut top hat back on.

i see. you used a spring compressor for this step, right?

linear springs dont like to compress too much by hand.

Spring compression is no problemo with this guy:

The problem was getting the clamps in the coils. Once I got the clamps fitted, I ended up maxing out on my compression without having enough to get the top hat on.

I ended up going around the corner to have a friendly mechanic, similar to the one pictured, put the springs on the struts for me.

^ that will do the job.

I have a hand held little one i got for cheap

kenchan · 04-13-2012, 11:27 AM

those wall mount compressors are super handy for sure. i almost bought one for my garage.

if my kids get into modding cars when they're older i guess i will get one. for the non-commercial use one it wasn't expensive. like $250-350 range. i was thinking of buying it and charging local buddes $50 each for doing their cars. in no time it'd be paid for.

I like giving and getting rep points. I also like long walks on the beach, quiet evenings at home, a napping dog at my feet, driving curvy roads in the morning and turtles.

yah, dont listen to the other parents saying 'oh they're just kids, they cant do that...' that's complete BS. they can follow instructions and rules if the parents are consistent with them.

i like quiet, relaxing atmosphere too. i hate crowds. i like to spend my leisure time in quiet places with few people if not alone working on my music or cars.

You know I get really anxious in large crowds...like during holiday shopping, or at theme parks. I just don't like being boxed in..
