    Sad Day



    Not much has been done, just been sitting on jackstands in the garage due to overheating ( which I found to be caused by the thermostat missing, I can thank the PO for that ) and a pesky oil leak from the oil pressure sensor. Just waiting on parts from Pelican Parts now.



    But some awesome news that had me giddy all day at work after I got a text from my girlfriend saying my BCs with 8k and 10k spring rates came in the mail weeks early



    Oh and for $30 couldn't pass up getting a personalized license plate

    Thanks man

    Been a busy Labor Day weekend so far;

    So ive had an overheating issue so I swapped out the fan clutch, radiator cap, and bled the cooling system yet again. It doesn't overheat nearly as fast anymore but still will if I get stuck in city traffic for too long

    She cools right back down as soon as I get going again tho so I don't think its the water pump or t-stat, once im moving its usually way down at the quarter mark. I think im gonna wire the electric fan in front of the radiator that is for the ac to the ignition and maybe that'll knock out the overheating I hope.



    And then discovered while bleeding on an incline while jacked up this oil leak!! Doesn't leak oil at all when level though





    Picked up these bad boys


    And got a killer deal on this cherry picker and engine stand for $50


    Ordered some BC Racing coilovers, build time is 2-3 weeks for custom orders and since I requested some stiffer spring rates to avoid rubbing I now have to be patient

I have a best friend who can't touch corduroy, felt or, Styrofoam with out getting goose bumps so maybe its something like that.

    Stretch is the only way to drive low on the front axle.


    here thats tha maximum that i can drive, its rubbing a bit at full turn. and thats with 9J and 195/40 , maximum camber, exzentric bushes and rolled arches.


    See yours look really good! I was looking at pics on zilvia.net and the 205s I saw stretched on 9.5s you could see half an inch of barrel on both sides. Maybe its the vredestein tires run a little wide? Ill have to look into them.

    need some 195/40 in front and 225/35 for the rear, then you can go low without rubbing.


    nice start so far
    195s on 9.5s!? I'm all about stretch but

    Awww shucks

    More stupid stuff that was needed came today, m tech bumper bolts that were over $3 a bolt but were def needed since the PO decided to just put a wood screw thru the bumper to hold it on. And power steering belt, radiator cap, and fan clutch since she keeps overheating when im not at freeway speeds.



    Back to the beer...
