I got home to find a package sitting on my bed and it was my NR-G shift knob... not the one i tried to get him to change it to but it still looks and feels good now i just wish the boot would get here now

Fixed the clunking coming from my front TL-S sway bar.  Just had to swap the endlinks from left to right and tighten those suckers down!!  Finally no more clunking going over rough roads!!!!   Also dropped off Gen's 350Z rims and Pirelli tires to get mounted.

Wait, you swapped sides?  How come?  I've never heard of that as a resolution before?  Was it a clunking sound or was it a clacking sound?  I'm getting a clacking sound from the front end and may try this.

Took her for a lil spin yesterday just to stretch her legs.  My next day off I think I'll clean up the rims and put em back on. It should be safe now...

Wash and waxed my ride for the movie meet tomorrow night, all clean and nice! Painted my TSX IM aluminum to go better with the theme under the hood, waiting for it to dry.

Lowered my car some more today.  Dropped one perch in the front on the Konis and two in the rear.  Would take some pics but car is filthy and I am exhausted.  

I had to do the rear driver's side three times.  First time I dropped the perch and lowered my car to see the results.  It actually sat higher than before so I thought I did it wrong so I re-did everything but this time I raised the perch five notches thinking that would lower it.  Dropped the car and it sat even higher!!  AAAHHHhhhhh!  I wasn't thinking straight because I was only running on breakfast and no lunch.  Sooooo, I re-did everything once more and finally got it where it should be.  Then I found out that instead of using a spring compressor on the rear spring I can just use a jack and a 20" breaker bar to push up the spring perch.  This way it only took me about 5 minutes instead of 30.

dont you just have to adjust height of spring and not mess with compression settings?


by the way, when is cover going on?

Gave the Hawk a full bath including wheel and tire detail.

it sure needed it after that last trip and all the rain to the east coast

Misha, I installed the cover today but it was too late to take pictures.  And the compression setting on the Konis is independent of the height setting.  

Well, I couldn't resist so I snapped some pics.

^nice job Milan!

[Blackhawk]

Glad you are using a practical setup Chad. I can't wait to go back to my uberwides but BBK and foglights first

On the 9" rim get 255/35/18. That's the size I am going to go with next. It will have a similar sidewall to your sexy stretched 225/40 without such a stretch and more footprint .

Anyways, drove the Hawk to work today then got news it was going to rain

just picked up a set of volks gt-7. 18 x 9 +43 with 235 40 18 tires all around.

Did they come with those tires?  They seem kinda narrow for a 9" wide wheel.  If you're planning on getting new tires, I'd go with a 265/35/18 for more grip, yet you would retain the same outside diameter as the within 0.1" (depending on the brand and model of tire).  I'd just roll and pull the fenders and quarter panels to reduce rubbing issues.
