tHanks Ryu sorry for late reply
was out of town

 

1) Today I corrected the preload on my coilovers and dropped the front basically as low as the Buddy Clubs will allow without taking collars off.

2) Reinstalled the stock exhaust, loving the quietness again.

3) Changed the oil, went to full synthetic Mobil 1.

4) Got my state safety inspection completed.

So it was a pretty busy morning/afternoon.

 

What exhaust were you using before?

 

False floor almost done.

 

Straight pipe axle back.

 

I could see how that would drone a lot and get annoying. Probably kind of awesome at the same time, too.

 

It actually wasn't that loud and didn't sound bad at all. I just didn't like the attention and people kept wanting to race....it was annoying.

So after some thinking I thought it was also kinda ricey. What's the point of the noise if it doesn't make me any faster? Stock muffler went back on, much happier with it now. Guess I'm just getting older.

 

So Z, what is this all about? Are you back to moonshining again? Them ol' Smokeys have been keepin' an eye on ya, yah hear?

 

Lol, shhh
Side note, there's a little moonshine shop near my place-- always wanted to try what they have haha.

 

Installed these today. My late Christmas gift to my car. Been backordered for so long.

V3 Triton Switchbacks as Reverse and Turn signal


Thanks Connor!

 

Managed to get my hands on a sport bumper locally in pearl black, I inmediately dropped it off at the paint shop and will pick it up on Monday. I now need to get the lower grill and both foglights which might take me a few weeks. (really excited)



Exploring my lower grill options beside the OEM one, looking for a plastic mesh grill; think it will go well with the grill emblem. Believe the dimensions for the OEM grill are 93.98cm x 17.78cm x 10.16cm; and the one i'm listing below is bigger: I want to use some leftover to cover the foglight part while I wait for them to arrive.

Recommendations ?

 

Well hope you finish by next saturday for the meet!

 

RYU - Looks good my man!!

Cajlog- Go with the oem piece, or I know of one member who removed it all together and drove like that.

 

It'll be ready by then haha-- got all the time in the world at the moment, I'm officially done with school

 

Found a deal on RockAuto for $30 shipped. Thanks!

 

Ugh. When I have the Mini wheels on, people seem to think that's the queue that I want to race everyone off the lights. It always seems to be the diesel rig rockets that want to race up here (rig rocket: An obnoxiously large, usually diesel truck with a lift kit, a metric ton of chrome bumpers, large wheels and tires, stacks and an off the shelf tune that's ultimately 20% slower than a stock truck and makes 1000% more black smoke).

 

we affectionately call these mall crawlers up here, also can be seen on their roof after trying to impress girls and flipping it.

 

We call them compensators. Giant exhaust coming through the bed, large tires excessive plumes of smoke. Must be compensating for something.

 

Finally, after 3 years of planning
My Front 6 Piston Brembo Gran Turismo Brake

Wow that looks insane! You might lift the rear off the ground if you slam on the brakes!
