    Bummer.

    Side note I know there's a "/s" but just be sure if you actually decide to sell things you do so only in the for sale section (need to donate followto get access) and follow the section rules

    Ya I know, I was on the old form for a bit so I knew most of the rules transferred over, the joke would have been a little more funny if the image decided it wanted to post.

    Both of my rear springs went before 100k. I put in Eibach lowering springs and the rear height never changed from the broken ones. The Eibachs are considerably quieter though.

    I'm on Koni FSD, which require IIRC, the OEM springs or else you'll get some nasty side effect. Although I think you can throw in some lowering springs if you shave down the bump stops, or something like that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Preppin' for a front end brake job. Hawk HPS 5.0 are cheap on Tirerack right now, if anyone else needs some. I paid $83 after tax, and have rotors coming from rockauto.

    Storytime: Not today, but my clutch pedal went floppy a couple weeks ago. I had to fight to get it in to gear, especially at start, after multiple pumps and was easier to shift clutchless when driving. My google-fu seemed to indicate one of 3 things, 1)leak in system 2)broken or bent clutch pedal brackets or 3)bad slave and/or master. Well since the first two might have been easy to solve and cost less, you know where this is going......my very nice local shop said same thing and since they couldn't be sure which was the one at fault, it would be easier to change both master and slave at the same time. They did and all is well again. 2010 149,000kms.

    #2weeks
    But actually take it two weeks at time and I saw a statement from one public health doctor that said unless people really start taking it seriously it could be 3 months

    I was very busy these last few days...I finally motivated myself enough to turn a few wrenches this weekend.

    1) I bought a used street unit tmic that had broken tabs on it. I cleaned off the chipped paint, cleaned the inside of the intercooler with acetone, and had a welder reweld the broken tabs.

    2) Installed one step colder NGK LTR7IX-11 plugs gapped to 0.026" as per recommendation from Stratified.

    3) Deleted my second cat and installed my ebay test pipe.

    4) Changed oil with PP 5w40.

    5) Replaced transmission fluid with Redline MTL 75w80.

    6) Had an exhaust shop delete my resonator.

    7) Flashed my new "Stage 2" 91 tune from Stratified and in the process of getting my MAF calibrated.

    Overall a great weekend spent with my car! Need to redo some of my datalogs because I dont think I got on the car hard enough lower in the rev range.

    Newb question about datalogging, should I be full throttle at or just below 3000 rpm?
