LTT ;)

:o lol!

Flushed some nasty looking clutch fluid with Motul RBF600 today. It was so dirty that I pumped the entire system 3-4 times probably. I used about 80% of the 1/2 L bottle I had. The pedal seems a bit soft now, but perfectly driveable. I'll see how it goes the next few days and do another air bleed if necessary.

Be careful with that Super Blue stuff... Apparently it's dangerous. :bowrofl:

Yeah, I heard. That's why I now have 5 whole cans. :tiphat:

ALL brake fluid is dangerous... but that blue coloring: :eek: :eek: :eek:


:facepalm:

Got an Alignment done this morning. No more tail wiggle.

awesome, mr.zman. :tup: how did the toe bolt install go?

Well I was disappointed with SPC quality honestly. the cam bolt did not fit into the cam washers :ugh2: but I made it work. Drilling the holes in the subframe was a pain in the rear though. I didn't drill wide enough because it was just hard on my garage floor. So we couldn't get alignment completely back to OEM spec. Toe is good, camber in rear is -2.3

huh, that sucks about the SPC quality. :( but good job making it all work. :tup:

as long as toe is good, some extra camber is fine, imho. :) that will give you more cornering grip anyway.

so, looks like time for stillen swaybars. :icon17: ;) jk

I'll let you know about them. I want to read more a bit about the different sway bars. There is quite a diverse range of stiffness (from my understanding stillen are softest and Hotchkis are most firm)

stillens offer soft setting, but they also provide stiffer setting using the various endlink mount positions.

np, im only kidding. no need to buy mine. :icon17:

Drove my car freaking hard today! went up Palomar Mountain for the first time since getting an oil cooler, y-pipe and changing my diff./ final drive gear. Wow, so much fun keeping it above 5k the whole time. Quaife is crazy good. Night and day difference. Oil went up to 225 and the tranny was jerky from 3-4 when I pushed it extremely hard. Tranny definitely needs an additional cooler I'm thinking.

Swift SPEC-r installed! After a rounded nut and a day with her on stands she is finally ready , can definitely tell a difference. Now to wait a week and get an alignment. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/20/yba6e3u7.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/20/y3yseda4.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/20/u5yve9aj.jpg

I pulled Harry out of the garage with a bit of a vroom...and away we went, to work, in the fog, with critters scurrying out the way of his awesomeness...sigh. I love Harry!

Got stuck behind a semi on the way home from work this morning. That wouldn't be bad if the road construction crews didn't feel the need to leave huge puddles of muddy water on the lanes not even being worked on. I guess it's an excuse to wash and throw on a coat of Collinite 476s wax.

What nut did you round off doing springs? Just curious.

The nut holding the lower strut in place, it was torqued on way over spec, passenger side

isn't this considered the godzilla bolt or something? lol


new wheels being put on today :)

Could be corrosion from road grime.....thays why I have a butane torch....for those just incase incidents.

That's normal. I had to use a 24" breaker bar with a 4' pole attached to it. :ugh2:

they must use some serious loctite on that bolt. :D

That and Hulk tightens them.

:icon18: i bet he was trying to use the mr.gale torquing technique, but couldn't break the fastener to back 1/4 turn.

I had two miles of road alone time. Nailed each apex and opened up my arms for a smile out of each.

How could I be having $20K-$60K more fun with another car? :D

:eek:

:icon18:

not ten minutes after I have my new wheels on a fking **** head w/ Florida plates in a 3.5 Altima tries to cut me off instead of waiting in line when there is only 2 feet of room between my car and the one in front of me. i honk at him and don't let him over. 10 seconds later he does it again but swerves into my lane, literally would have hit me if i didn't brake. no signal, no nothing.

i get stuck at a light but see him a few minutes later as he's turning left. i down shift and blast by with the finger.

Bath salts.

Damn them faux socalian wannabies. :mad: glad your car was not hit.

will eat yo face! literally :icon18:

I carry a bag of .125 steel ball bearings in my car for special occasions like the one he went through!

Sweet. :tiphat:
