I have a giant garage man.. well for an apartment that is.



I got about 3 feet of space in the front of the car and a ledge where I have my makeshift work bench.

Excuses, excuses. Mount the forgestars. Get tires later.

Not necessarily missing... maybe it's mislabeled as an R3. I can't tell if the color of the wheels are right, but the spoiler and such would be rather easy to get aftermarket.

Assuming the wheels are correct, I'd guess it is an R3 with the seats swapped out. I can't imagine someone would go through all of the trouble to get everything, including the wheels, and then leave the seats stock.

I actually called them and the girl said she ran the vin and the car was correct. I explained that the seats were incorrect and she just blew me off so I told her I was reporting the Ebay listing because they were being fraudulent. I don't think the Ford dealer realizes it, I think the previous owner made some cash before they traded it in.

I reported the Ebay listing. Other people should call, that would suck if someone bought it unknowingly. It really does hurt the resale value.

Nice! I still need to get my powder coated...

It sounds like something is terribly loose on my suspension, either that or the endlink is hitting the strut they were awfully close to each other.

Is it clunking? I had to tighten the **** out of the collars on Hoss-05's stance to get the clunking to go away.

hmmm I'll have another look...

It feels like a loose bolt, but the thing handles like its on rails, I still need to do the rears. significantly less body roll not sure if its the bushings or the coilovers but it feels amazing.
