Reorganized the garage, test fitted mk1's wheels on his car, then on one of my cars....pics to come.

Sunny days are productive days.

edit: 19x9.5, +22, 225/35/19. Just chucked them on to get an idea of what specs I'm going to need to get the look I want. Yes, my unrolled fender is sitting on the tire...lol

Looks like I can easily run a 10.5 rear with a 255/30-35 and a +20-25mm offset. The front would probably get an 8.5-9, 225/40 and +35mm.

Properly fixed my headlights, no more 'good enoughs' :haha: The right one just stopped flipping up and down at the meet yesterday; the linkage arm fell off on the drive over. I had one headlight popped up for about half an hour during the meet, lol. So I got it on a lift where it was easy to work on, and replaced the short bolts with longer ones. Seriously, the nut on the end had a super small amount of thread, no wonder it kept slipping off. Also, on the cruise home last night, the other headlight (the one that flipped up and worked) blew its ballast, so I swapped in a temporary one. Now my lights are different shades of 6000K lol. But now, one of the high beams doesn't work, and a fog burnt out. THESE LIGHTS MAN, THEY HATE ME.

Also washed the daily today, after 6 months of driving it super dirty.

Yes it slipped/failed when I took off the passenger side rim. I was talking to my friend on the phone then after like 5 mins it slipped/failed in front of me. It happen so fast. I usually use jack stand even for changing rims but got lazy that day. I would of been injured for sure if my friend hadn't called me :okay:

Ouch it looks like these are not full length adjustable ones. If you bottom out on city driving you might want to consider raise it back later. :suspicious:

westopher
03-28-2013, 09:25 AM
Do you mean the adjustable shock bodies? The only brands that make those for my car are ksport and b+G both, not the greatest quality. Koni is well designed enough that they put the coils in the shocks intended range so they actually ride really well. Its just that I rub fender liner and hit subframe in bad spots. haha. Coils aren't gonna go back up til winter, but I may remove the lower locking collar to give it a bit more room to go down once I cut my fender liners.

I have had the Koni on my gti, with 1/3 thread to go it started bottoming out. With that being said, I got rid of them within 2 months and installed a set of Bilstein PSS10 which made the ride handled much better. Firmer, less bouncy.

If u want to go low, I suggest getting the H&R ultra low coils which got a shorter shock body.

My konis have never bottomed out in the shock. Unless you had huge bumpstops on yours I'm not sure what the issue was. I had bilstein pss9s before and couldn't handle how bone rattling they were, and they didn't go near low enough so I got rid of them for the konis. It comes to preference and how you have them set up, since we both made the opposite switch and are both happy with them. To dar3d3evil. My car doesn't rub in the rear at all no matter how full it is. Front rubs a bit on big bumps and full lock but it isn't really affected by passenger load.

Love the look and I totally get what you're trying to accomplish but please don't do that.What issues would it cause? There is the piece there on the shock body that prevents the perch from dropping below the threads. I probably won't do it. More effort than its worth to go lower than what is already too low, but are you saying this for concerns of accelerated wear on suspension parts or an actual safety perspective?

Yeah, 5-10 mins to swap the cluster.

Have the girlfriend's car (2005 Chevrolet Blazer) for a couple weeks while she's cruising around the Interior with mine. Had a new HU installed at Soundsgood, installed a new brushbar w/PIAA spotlights, replaced the calipers and installed new rotors and pads, put in a new fuel filter. Couple other things as well that I've forgotten about.

However, when I went to start it on Friday night to move it in order to replace her e-brake cables, it just kept on cranking and cranking without turning over. Did a few tests and determined her fuel pump died. Fuck.

So... spent this afternoon pulling the tank. Not a fun job, especially when it's never been done before and the entire underside is coating with two metric tons of rocks, dirt and sand. Anyway, this is where it's at while I wait for a new pump to get in.

Lomac
04-15-2013, 10:05 PM
Looking back, it actually wasn't that big of a job to pull the tank. Eight bolts for the shield and four for the straps. The bitch part was trying to disconnect the stupid squeeze clamps that hook up to the feeder and drain tubes on the pump itself. Ended up breaking two of the plastic tubes inside the clamps. Luckily the whole assembly is being replaced, so it wasn't that big of a deal. No, I imagine the real trouble is going to happen when the tank goes back in. There is one tube that I've no idea how I'm going to reattach and the filler neck is in a super awkward spot on these vehicles.

:okay:

Oh, and Ice... no, I swapped the brakes up in Salmon Arm before I drove it down to the Lower Mainland. I may be stupid, but I'm not suicidal. :p
