Autocrossed today, it was awesome Videos later, I'm tired.

Mine needs a wash again... because yes, black mica is the devil when it comes to staying clean.

i autocrossed last week. fun isn't it. the tires i bought last november are half gone now for the fronts(just rotated them) after only 5000 miles and three events. still waiting on my performance package to be shipped....quite pissed.

Nice. I was bad at let it go 7k. I usually change every 5k.

Oh by the way, Happy Fathers Day.

thanks man, back to you!

I know EXACTLY what you mean... this happened to me, but thankfully only on the one side. Ended up using a crow bar to pry the stock strut out and jerry-rigging up something for the abs sensor cord. But yeah, does make it a little interesting...

Yeah, I used a big assed pry bar to man-handle the derned things out.

I was thinking of using some zip-ties arranged in a fancy manner to hold it down. Either that or i'll use a quick tig weld

good luck with the header install, everything went as planned until i tried to get the two bolts at the bottom off, they are the infamous spring loaded bolts between the manifold and the midpipe. the non fouler trick works awesome by the way!!

My baby got a real buffing for the first time!

Let's see, 1st we washed, then Josh used the claybar, applied a coat of "Poor Boy's SSR1, light abrasive swirl remover" to clean and then a coat of polymer polish. (I was the scrub boy)

Here are some pics...
It's a Work in Progress

The 'clip' that the abs cable is in has a hole through it to go through the bolt that you broke... but you have another one or two bolts on the strut that you can easily attach it to instead. We just bent/turned the clip accordingly (we may have had to drill out the hole in the clip to make it bigger, I can't remember now) and just attached it to the strut there. Voila, works like a charm - and no zip ties to fuss with or worry about catching in something or melting.

If you can't picture what I'm talking about, I'm likely taking the wheels off this weekend to paint the calipers - I can take a pic for you then if you'd like.

Nah, I'll be done with the whole thing on wednesday. I'll figure something out, maybe I'll just will it back into place haha

Found out last night that I can keep up with a crossfire, but not a z06. Was fun as hell tearin up the road with him though, then he went sideways and made me look silly, ha!

Man useing a drill press to hollow out the non fouler is tough, I hope it doesnt have to be a perfect 1/2inch hole lol or else ill look like this when it wont fit(shocked)
