I replaced my FUCKING alternator, which also cost me a trip to Honda Day, so freaking annoying

You still go to Honda Day Kev? I almost went to hang with the AFH guys but plans got cancelled last minute on my end.

Sucks about your tire Ryan. Was that a road hazard or a defect?

Damn Kev, was it the alternator bearing or did it stop charging?

I gotta call tomorrow to make sure but when I bought them he said it covered everything but wear like if it wears unevenly or too fast. But he said if you pick up a nail and the hole cant be patched its covered for replacement. So I should be good.

The Tire Rack road hazard thing is fairly simple. Basically, you have a shop check it out and they call Tire Rack to say that the tire is not repairable, then they send you a new one. I'm not sure if they charge you a pro-rated fee like Sears does. It was about 9-10 years ago when I had to do that with my car.

I spent a little bit of time on my sub frame cleaning off the rust and getting it ready to repaint. I also worked on clearancing the sub frame for the EPS rack. Almost there, just a little bit more room and the EPS rack will fit nice and snug.

@Nelson- How are those Red stuff pads?

@Ariel- Drop looks good. Better pix requested.

@Ryan- Wow @ the tire rip. Hope everything gets sorted today.

Update to my car. Hasn't been washed in a month or so. Still ridin' dirty. Angry

Told ya!!

No complaints about the red stuff. I like it. I gotta wash the car and see how much dust they create. I don't why, but my front pads were almost new and my rear ones were About 3/4 done.

Yeah. You're considerably lower than me right now. If it wasn't for the stupid step up from the street onto my driveway, I'd be a bit lower. Because racecar, of course.

build a ramp.. problem solved..

or get fancy and buy a set of these: http://platinumvipmotors.com/products/phantom-suspension/

I would do the ramp but I do live in the snow belt now so my ramp would get destroyed. As for that link, reminds me of the KW setup that's marketed towards the fancy schmancy high end cars.

Completely forgot that I got the tires at Discount Tire Direct. Lol

So I just got off the phone with them, they pulled up my order, I explained what happened and they said they would ship the new one out today. All I had to do is buy a new replacement plan for the new tire ($13) and dispose of the old tire after I get it changed. Talk about easy!

I briefly considered it when I had the s2000.. Ride around slammed, raise it when you need to get up a driveway..

Yeah. My thoughts exactly. The KW version is self contained and hydraulic. Also about $1k more expensive.
