    Yeah super annoying, but got to check out the underside of the car up front which was nice. Slightly leaking ps rack but whatever. Do want to order some fcab bushings soon but that can wait till I figure out what I want.

    Well my roomate who borrowed the wheel a while back since it was sitting waiting for the correct car of myne to go in....painted it with some eastwood interrior paint which did hold up...and he did get it stipped somehow without ruining it when I got it back.

    More or less its kinda dingy looking in person so I was thinking about trying the leatherique or whatever that stuff is kit to re-dye it back to perfect black. I actually want to really have it re wrapped in suede, but that would cost more than what I think the wheel is worth anymore.

    Going to cancel the wheels today, tired of waiting anymore and could use the money towards new coils.

    Involanti mounted up last night, need to swap hubs tho for the earlier style momo one however so I can use my horn easier....then to decide if I want a quick release or not...need to measure to see if another 2.5" closer to me will work or not.

    Also did an oil change finally...sticker on the window was dated last year but I hit the mileage so it was time...forgot how much oil the s52 takes

    I will get some pics tonight of the wheel...need to figure out how to restore it for cheap

    Wheels will finally be shipping out today...sadly no white however. Went with hyper black with isnt as dark as most wheels....hope it looks good.

    Guy said.."we have been trying to get a hold of you" I am not good at answering my phone, but no messages were ever left so not happy I waited this long, but whatever it is what it is.

    Dove im about 2-1/2 I think. Got the belt apart last night, but its kinda short to meet up with the floor mount so I may just use the seat side bolt for now so I have something incase I would get pulled over till I can hit the junkyard and grab a longer e30 one.

    So new wheels havnt even shipped yet....annoyed cuz they made up a shipping lable sunday...

    Been driving the car more, still need a seatbelt however so I take it easy to work and back. Id do a harness bar but oddly they are like $500 or more when a bolt in cage is only 750...so thats the route ill be going. May try and use my stock belt if I can get it off the seat easy enough and can make up a bracket for it.

    Rears are rubbing slightly which will end with the new wheels...but going to hammer the fenders more or maybe just trim the metal and get the undercoating out and hammer them flat...still plan to just do flares but they and the wheels needed are out of the budget right now.

    Still want to lower it a little more up front, but I kinda dig the functional "stance" it has right now.

    excited for the wheels, the studs are such a great thing, the only issues I had are one corner I forgot to lactate one corner and the whole stud came out when I tried to take the wheel off lmao, but I just loctite-ed them in and they have been good since. Do you know what coils you are on now?
