The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Shouldn't be with the coilovers in. Had that gross crunching sound with the stock suspension. Actually sounds more like the spring is rotating in its perches. Not sure why it would do that though...

O ya, lol.

Control arms and tie rods are good? I'm trying to remember the fc front end setup. Been a while since I've seen it, lol.
 
So what's the deal with black vinyl on the roof? I don't get it. Where did this come from? What function does a flat black roof have?

Not flaming, just curious. There are some weird trends out there... The rusted Audi/VW hoods are weird.

Black hood/roof/trunk is just a theme that looks good when done properly. RadarThis' car looks very good with a Black roof.

And I wouldn't compare that to the rusted look AT ALL... lol That s*** is just dumb.

Sounds like the tire is hitting the spring again. I don't know how this is possible though unless I lost my camber bolt... It just started doing it yesterday.

Are the mount holes on the Coilovers slotted? Could the camber bolt have moved/slid?
 
Here is RadarThis' car & a good shot of his roof

Nope, circular. I don't get it. Got it aligned last week and I didn't have this problem. Did the brakes this week and now I'm getting noise. Maybe the rotor hats on thenew rotors aren't as thick as the old ones so the tire is closer to the suspension? I'll check when I get home I guess...

Hmm, keep us updated.

Maybe you'll have to get some big spacers and get some poke on your wheels... (rofl2)
 
Wow, that actually does look really good on his car. Thanks for posting those pics, Steve.
 
I want to try a different color instead of just black. Just having a hard time trying to nail down a good body line to follow to do the split.

LOL...

Didn't get home from work until 10 PM (I work 7-4 usually xD) so I didn't get a chance to check 'em out. Seems to be making even more noise now so I decided not to drive it. Hopefully I'll get it up tonight...
