Don't forget to slather it in gas and light it on fire.

Then I'll take my stepdad's F350 and ram it into our pond out back. 

[CrackerTeg]

Nah. Get another F350 and strap each truck to either end and pull it apart.

Now that's an idea. I bet that'll fix this damn rattling in my passenger side door i've been getting! I swear to god it comes out of nowhere. I took the panel of like 5 times and blasted the music to find where it comes from, but nothing. It's pissing me off, lol.

I really want to put sound dampening material in my car, but that shit is expensive, and I don't have the time to take out the carpeting and whatnot to fully enclose my cabin.

[CrackerTeg]

The flooring/ carpeting department in Home Depot is your friend.

Goddamnit, all of the edgeguards are glued on. I wonder if I could mask the shit out of the door and paint them all DMM.

[fabulous010]

Just leave it dude.

[CrackerTeg]

Goo gone is your friend.

60k bitches!

I finally manned up and did it, Z. The decals are no longer! They've been growing old on me anyways. The car looks a lot better now too. I think the more sleeper it is, the better haha.

Now for the door edge guards, I'm not sure if I want to get rid of them yet. I don't want people who get in my car to destroy my door edges, lol.

Man, it's been awhile since I've updated my profile. I've been having a few issues. Most of them I've already talked to Tim about, and he's helped me a lot (thanks!), but I was just curious of everyone else's opinions.

Lately my car's been running very sluggishly. I have to punch the peddle just to get up to speed. I've been thinking about seafoaming the car and seeing if that helps. Also, is there a conveniant way to check the fuel pressure?

Another thing is my car's handling has gone to shit. The car rolls all over the damn place. When I got my car aligned, they suggested new struts. I haven't checked them yet, but my car doesn't seem too bouncy or has any clunking. Just a shitload of body roll.

The last thing is I've noticed is that there seems to be a dead spot in the brake pedal. Is the pedal adjustable at all?

Thanks for the help guys.

[CrackerTeg]

Seafoam=good idea. Degraded handling=new dampers is a good idea. Dead spot in brake travel=bleed your brakes.


Or you can skip all that and light your car on fire.

By dampers do you mean bushings?

Would I just need to get everything that says bushing in the list from these illustrations? (minus the sway bar ones, I just got those)

Front:


Rear:


If not, then what would the dampers be?

[CrackerTeg]

Shocks and struts.

Ah okay, cool. I think I'm going to start saving up for a Supercup kit.
