Mmmm beer I could go for a few of them about not. What a terrible day lol

 

Neiron make that some beer for me to!!! Some moron in a lifted truck backed into the 8 today when I picked my girl up from work Luckily by some mysterious way there way no damage, just one tiny scratch!!!

 

@ Rei: damn man! really sorry to hear about your car

that almost happened to me this past weekend too.

i hope you get everything sorted out n' back on track.



btw, Sorry i messed up the dating on the korean bbq thing. Next week is gonna be really bad for me - are any of you guys down to have it this weekend??

 

thank you all for your concern. We'll see how it turns out. I should be hearing from insurance today or tomorrow about how much it is going to cost and see what is actually wrong with it

 

Me and sara are down for KBBQ

Depending on time I'm in. Im tryin to do a shift swap now to get off early.

Also seems I have a problem with my suspension. This morning on my way to work coming down the windy road of Cajalco anytime I would take a corner over 40-45 my traction control would kick in. This has been the first day I could actually take the road or any curves at any speed because of rain. Before the spring install I would hit these same corners at 50+ dunno whats going on but it doesnt seem good.

 

neiron: alignment related possibly?
did you guys touch the camber bolts when doing your suspension install?

 

We did but marked and realigned them to what they were set to before.

 

unfortunately that rarely works; I did the same thing the first time I swapped out my suspension, took it to an alignment shop a week or two later because it just didn't feel right and the guy comes back and says, "whoa, those setting were all over the board."

might be as simple needing an alignment if all you guys did was swap springs or struts.
check your endlinks to make sure they're secured properly and I assume the sway bars didn't get installed in reverse or anything? (seen this plenty of times before so I always like to rule out the obvious stuff first)

 

Hmm gonna have to climb back under there and take a look. Hopin it's something simple like your thinkin here. Alignment will be coming it has to wait until next weds unfortunately due to work thanks Jedi

 

Is the road wet at all? Also, check the ABS lines though. I'm not sure if one got pulled or something. The shop manual was saying that if they were pulled it could cause an open loop in the circuit. Maybe that could be the problem too?

 

This Saturday is great for me. Korean BBQ is a go!

 

Yeah I dunno Geoff I wasn't under the back of the car much. I'll have to climb under there tonight and look. Just hope I can recognize something being off lol

 

Korean BBQ THIS SATURDAY

1. Atilla + Sephyobsessed
2. j03ykillarx8 + wifey (??)
3. Ebil_John + Sara
4. Mongo RX


I'm thinking we meet up around noon - 1pm??


btw; Wish i could offer some help Neiron...but yah, i don't have traction control

i've never really had to deal with that. Only thing i can offer is there is a small sensor in the back suspension that has to do with TCS - check n' see if it's been tampered with. /blind guess

 

I may have to call off sick sat lol.

Thanks tryin to help bro its appreciated. Just wondering if I should shut the traction control off until I can figure this out or if that would be a bad idea.

 

leave it on, if it is engaging thats' better then not having it at all.

 

On it stays lol just gonna have to drive slow. As I've been thinkin on it the rear has felt kinda loose in general. Figured it was just the susp settling and just a dif feel.

 

I'd check all the connections to make sure everything is bolted down properly.
start with the top of the struts in the trunk and work your way down to the strut itself, endlinks, and sway bars.

could be something slightly loose?

 

Yeah gonna pull the tech specs tonight might leave work early so.I can get under there find out what's up. Poor 8 lol

 

Wow seems like our cars are having some kinda prob. I just took my car to get a brake job and a bleed cuz I have a low pedal caused by air in the abs unit.

Neuron09- could be a misalignment cuz I had that prob too, until I got an alignment/rear camber kit. Plus didn't u say u needed shock replacement. That could be the issue too.

Rei-teki- sorry to hear about the incident. Just as long as u were safe. But dam I hope it's not an expensive fix.

 

Neiron: if the car feels a bit squirrly, it's probably alignment related but I'm very paranoid about making sure everything is tightened down properly when it comes to suspension work otherwise you'll end up stranded on the side of the road when bolt comes off your suspension while driving.
ask me how I know. (that's the last time I ever delegate torque spec duties to someone)

 

I had the rear shocks checked when I got the new tires was told they are fine. Could just be the alignment. Am I correct in the assumption that this would be the rear with the traction control issues?

 

I agree better safe than sorry. I do know that mongo and rei were pretty diligent about following the tech specs. Don't wanna make it seem like I'm assuming they screwed up. My only reason for checking is piece of mind. A lot to put back together under sometimes things get missed although I'm pretty sure that isn't the case.

 

Beer party at my place tonight!!!
