Jon,

No, that's not the same dude.
Also, your mods are ricey.

 

This coming from a guy with a Racing Beat pod

 

True... i'm interested to see if your temp reads higher than mine. . . would be weird if it did.

 

No problem

He's actually running without a rear sway. Go figure.

Like you're the spelling police?

 

Unfortunately... we'll have to wait for Spring.
I'm not going to install the oil filter adapter plate like I was planning either.
I realized that with it installed, it'll be tough to get the oil pressure sender on the plate.
ProSport just quoted me $34 for the sender and wire... not too bad.

So driving with 3 gauges reading nothing... now THAT is a ricer

 

Steve's Checklist:
Stereo- check
Loud annoying muffler - check

 

My loud annoying muffler is more loud and annoying than yours. +50HP

Jon: Damn kids modifying their cars.....

 

^^^Try it sometime. You'll get less traction on turn in but greater traction on exit.

Just remember though, I believe that article was his setup for Lincoln. Your setup will change for every course you run. Or, at least it typically will...

That's why when we do your coilovers I can only set your ride height and install them. You wil have to figure out what to set your dampers at for every course you run yourself, I can't do that for you since our driving styles differ too much.


Also, fyi, corner balancing: Unless you set it up neutral (aka each corner has the same amount of force and weight being applied to it) you'll screw yourself because you will constantly have to adjust it to fit where you run. What works for Mid Ohio will not work for Nelson Ledges and will not work for BeaveRun. Also, track setting will not work for autocross settings for the most part.

I'm just warning you because you have a tendency to overthink and confuse yourself

 

How may HP does a CB and 7' antenna give me?

 

negative eleventy


Antenna needs to be longer for positive horsepower

 

I was planning on corner balancing, but having problems finding someplace to do it. Any suggestions???

 

Doc. . . .

2>1


Everytime.

 

Don't get it. 2 what?

 

You have a single exit exhaust on the red one, correct?

 

OHhhhhhh, Har, Har...... Next!

 

Hey, how's my baby??? Any probs putting the tender on?

 

Tender is on, no problems there. I took a break from working on the house and took a walk over and checked on "her" sunday.

I just used the battery clamps, but you can hard wire a connection onto your terminals in the kit you bought. My car still has it on there. Don't know if you would like me to do that or now. Makes for easy plug-in, unplug operation.

 

Check out the LIVE police chase
http://interactive.foxnews.com/lives....html?chanId=3

UPDATE: Chase is over.
Mazda6 bumped a car, passenger-side then bounced off the rail on the other side of the road, hit a pickup with his driver's side, hit the rail again on the passenger-side, then called it quits.
Had to climb-out the window since the door was jammed. Poor car.

 

OO, mazda 6!

 

Damn... that 2010 Mazda6 did pretty good at 130MPH

 

We can do that when we move it.

 

Nice.

Did you see this Steve?

Might be someone you can offload my old shocks to for more than you paid for them. He's worried about install fees but if you can sell him the entire coilover it would go a long way to funding your aftermarket coilovers.

 

Hey Jon - thanks for the 'e-clips' this afternoon. Post the picture of my wired up SSV actuator - LOL. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

 

Not too bad for a cellphone pic

Difficult to tell from this pic, but the actuator's arm is half-way off the valve's connecting shaft.
I should have taken a wider shot to show the wire running all the way up to the AC line.

 

Yeah, I'm tempted. . . I would then have to re-install a stock suspension on to my car in order to keep it mobile. . . which isn't crucial for the winter months.

I also just bought some new rear adjusters.
