Today I cleaned wheel wells...repainted calipers....installed AWR adjustable endlinks....put 5Zigen FNO1R-C wheels on...installed Greddy Evo catback. I'm tired...

Looks supah hawt I love your rims too! Sucks that you dont have a sunroof...
 
Gave her a fully synthetic oil change, with a K&N oil filter. Washed it, then put black magic on the rubber, took her to the video store bumpin hard, drivin hard. Hope I dont get a ticket for a loud exhaust, s*** it's almost as loud as my 15's LOL.
 
I cleaned the wheels and dressed them with some Black Magic Tire Wet, also cleaned the windows. I did wash the wife's car....much needed. Here are some pics

I glanced at it...then hopped on my motorcycle and rode away.
 
I broke both of my rear endlinks out of frustration. Each is in three pieces. one piece attached to the original rear sway bar, one piece detached (the rod part) and one piece stuck on the struts. I don't think there is any way I can get the rest of the endlink off the strut on each side so I may be forced to buy all new struts right now. Damn salt belt >_<

Also I hit 62k miles today :(
 
has anyone even tried driving our cars without a rear sway bar? I wonder how much it sucks? Since tomorrow is Sunday I'm sorta out of luck finding new sway bar end links anywhere. I ordered the sedan endlinks well over a week ago from protegegarage but I don't even know if they are shipped, I haven't heard anything.

Most cars tuned for drag don't have sway bars to save weight. Imagine a unibody car without sway bars. lol


well...it went 10.60s at sea level, but couldn't hold a corner at 30, damn lockers.....


hehe (cheers)
 
Drove ol' Blue up to the Summit Racing store. There was a corvette meet / show, but they all left right after we showed up. Apparently, they couldn't take the heat (hah)

man, I crack myself up...anyway, had the 55-2 A/C all the way up, actually it was more like 80-5...
(55-2 A/C = 55mph - 2 windows down(thumb))

Damn dude, that sux. With some PB Blaster and my air tools we could have zipped them off with ease.

CrazeeD and I had some trouble with his AWR sway bar, but to answer your question, yes we have driven the car without one installed. It's not really noticable unless you drive hard into corners.

You dont notice anything. I had to remove mine for air ride set up. I haven't noticed any difference, but then again I don't race the car.
 
drove it out from the garage to wait for some heavy rain to clean it. Then go find something that can hold my dgm lip stronger.

use a vise to get it off that's what i did yesterday. I replaced my factory links with AWRs

I have my factory sway bar set up it's yours if you need it for pieces or something. I was just going to toss it.
