TheW3r3W0lf · 04-23-2013, 02:19 AM

Finished this neat switchback DRL project which I posted here:

Daytime Running Lights + Switchback LED’s

If you don't care about the write up and just want to see it finished you can watch the short video below:

Yeah its definitely one of my favorites. We used to watch this all the time when I was on deployment.

I took the Z out early this morning in hopes of getting an alignment but no luck. The place that was recommended to me turned out to be closed on the weekends and its $60 with their system built into the ground, so it's low car friendly.

After that I went to Firestone on the other side of town where I get a local discount. No waiting and just $56.17 out the door.... Car couldn't get up and onto the rack!

So I drove to a few places with the same issue. One brand new Firestone had a new rack built into the ground and would gladly accommodate my Z but there was a 2hr wait and no local discount. Best the manager would do was $69+tax.

So I will pay my room mate in gum to take my Z to the recommended place for $60 and I know I can count on them to do a good job since they've done all my friends Z's.

So I just wasted gas and time today.

In my area, the regular shop(like firestone, town fair tires) won't do allignment for me once I had coilovers and camber kits on my car.

I had to pay $250 for mine even after I had a lifetime allignment. Its rediculous!

Wow, and you're riding on Swifts? Hmmmm.

Tigger · 04-20-2013, 05:06 PM

Put 20mm spacers on the front. Had 25mm for the rear. Initial test fit looked ok. But then I was like, omg... no. I'm not going to be "that guy". Gotta get thinner spacers. Maybe 15mm for rear. That should work. Anybody need 25mm spacers? One is brand new and one was one for test fit and taken off. Should probably post this in the sales section. lol

But yeah, front looks nice and flush now. Rather line up well with the rear in stock format.

Tonight... oh I don't know. Thought about rolling to the little car meet up the road but then I spied a bottle of wine on my counter. Think I'm gonna drink it.

Footloose301 · 04-20-2013, 05:08 PM

15 front. 20 rear is perfect

20/20 is better IMO, but 20/25 would be the best.

I may take Z (I decided I'm just going to call her "Z"

) to the driving range today. My clubs enjoy riding shotgun.

Pintsize725 · 04-20-2013, 05:30 PM

Took her to the MotoGP practices today at COTA. One of the COTA workers said he loved my car.
