[NCZ13]

i got the hose clamps and put them on the axleback hangers, and it works well, it doesnt hit bang around anymore on turns.

the car does seem to vibrate alot more though however. ill probably put hose clamps on the mid pipe hangers as well.

i noticed my shifter was kinda vibrating alot at idle as well. would loosening the spring bolts aid this?

haha... vibrations are goooooood. My shifter vibrates more than a female personal device. And my steering wheel is what you would imagine a plane crashing too be like. Actually, after a day or two you don't notice it anymore.

I finally got around to ordering a SRI, of course I don't get home for another month or so, so putting it on in the middle of december will be lots of fun. Stupid winter, wrecking my plans for actually doing something.

=D installed my obx header. gotta upload those pix. we wiped down the header before turning the car on, and got all the grease and crap off, and its a beautiful bronze color right now =D

everyons best friends^took 27 dollars to get those off. i didnt have a 14mm socket deep enough, and i didnt want to risk stripping them with a wrench, so we went and i bought a 3/8 breaker bar, and 14mm deep sockets (6pts)

Ok, if you were in Ohio, there'd be nothing left of those bolts. That's why my exhaust leaked the way it did for the last two months. Plus my J-pipe took a turn for the worst. I have it rigged up to work until I can get a header, but it's getting cold and I don't feel like working on the car too much right now.

Wiped off snow as I shoveled the driveway

 

[vicham]

[kura808]

[kura808]

o yea i took her out for a drive. been about 3 weeks since i last drove her. heh still was sitting in my garage spotless from the last time i washed her heh.

 

[redpr5]

i can say ive actually modded my car now.
i FINALLY lowered the protege! (only one casualty in the process...passenger side endlink was seized, yay for dremels, not yay for no rear sway bar though)
did the megan racing springs on saturday with the help of justin. it looks really good i think, im waitin for the springs to settle the rest of the way. but so far it looks a lot better than factory ride height.
pics up later today (im at work, so i cant take them now)


off-topic: does anybody know if Xenon-Expert is still selling the Katsuro HID kit? (HIDs are my next purchase)
UPDATE:
Pics as promised
2nd pic is front wheel, 3rd is rear

At least you know she will stay warm during those **cough**cold**cough** Florida winter nights.

I came home from work and parked her in her new spot!
