Did they install that valve stem in backwards? What the heck did they do. That doesn't look like a valve stem cap.

I do all of my repairs/including tire mounting & balancing....wheels spun inside of tires,about 3" on each side.

that yellow dot on tire should line up with the valve stem.....im thinking u spun the tire too hard after install, take few hundred miles to get the tire/rim married together

yes,they were lined up,,,only used a bit of Murphy's tire soap & still had to bout break tire changer from floor to twist the tire to exact spot....drove on them 40miles with 40 psi air & made 1 15mph roll start from 1st-2nd gear....felt no wheel spin at all.
These tires are 32lbs. The Goodyears weighed in at 28
Both sides turned equal amounts/Thank's to my new Quaife

Gutted the hatch, and installed sound-insulating material (5mm rubber material used for underneath laminate flooring)!

The reduction in road-noise is noticeable.

did you also do the rear wall, little bump part both sides and on top of the wheel wells?

also you should consider the door panals. very easy to do! :tup:

I'm getting nervous/excited for the Swift spring install this Saturday. Looking at how-to videos and the forum like crazy. Really don't want to mess this up badly.

:tup: hey did you end up making the drive to Buff to get the exhaust??

Nice sunny day today, and I'm on vacation this week, so I think the wife & I are gonna take a little trip on some backroads through the finger lakes in the Z... Grab some lunch and head back! :driving:

You'll be fine. It's ridiculously easy, given you have the right tools. And beer.

I'll be honest the hardest part was using the spring compressor. And that was more stressful than difficult

He's shipping it to me thankfully. No idea when though. That'll be an hr tops to install. How's your Top Speed exhaust? I want to hear it Saturday!!!

And be sure to stop at a few wineries also hahahaha

Beer is easy. Tools might be a different story. Hopefully we can get our hands on an air compressor and some power tools.

Stressful? I'm just paranoid it'll decompress into my face or something.

Exactly why it was stressful

Yea.... You're making me feel super confident....

I was holding the strut in a vice that was held to a small metal table with C-clamps AND used an impact gun to compress the spring (super retarded) and managed to not get a spring through the brain. You'll be fine.
