What did you do to your ride today

Ugh, curbed one of my wheels pretty bad today...thought I had more room than I did, then I heard the crunching noise. I know it's inevitable that wheels will always eventually get messed up one way or another, but still

 

Don't feel bad. I did it so bad I had to get an alignment

Shit man, that sucks. Could try plastidipping them, it'll fill in gouges and shit if they aren't too bad. When I dipped RX8s, it covered up a ton of blemishes that the previous owner put in them, some of which I didn't think stood a chance of it hiding; was pleasantly surprised to see how well they came out.

 

I figure I'll lightly sand the rough spots and try to find the closest matched paint I can...might have to hit up a hobby shop or something to try to match the TSW matte bronze. It won't look perfect, but from far away I doubt anyone will notice.

If they were stock wheels I would definitely just plastidip them or paint them or something, but I can't bring myself to do that to these ones.

 

Oh, good call; I didn't realize you already have fancy-pants rims. Good luck, whatever you decide to try! Curb rash is a bummer.

 

Stripped a head stud today....fuck my life

 

What head studs are you using? I know ARP has a good reputation.

 

Unfortunately I am just trying to get the old ones out. Mofo's are stuck in there pretty good...was being super careful too and still ended up stripping one. I managed to only get 4 to break loose before I stopped trying. Looks like I'll have to get creative with getting this one out. Never dealth with a stripped head stud before.

Luckily, and unluckily at the same time, the head is not reusable. It has a crack in it so I can damage the head getting the stud out. I just dont want to damage the block in case its still re-usable.

 

got some new tires installed on my fusion. cooper cs5 tires, were $385 plus $48 to mount/balance. however, i'm getting back $205 in rebates.
that puts me at $228 installed for a new set of tires. pretty nice little deal i got on 'em.

 

At Discount getting another half ass replacement tire after yet another belt separation. Upgrading them all when my winters go back on, but I need to make it that far first.

 

Jbr short shift plate and weight , solid shifter bushings, shifting is much different now, got to get use to it, old rubber bushings were very worn down/ Eaton away

I'm getting lazy in my old age. I also painted my recently acquired Block8head dual pod.

 

Added another CorkSport logo under the hood. Had some issues while tuning with Freektune and Justin suggested I get a new BPV.

 

How do you like it? How is the sound?

 

Haven't driven too much with it, but I don't notice any increase in sound. I can tell it's not leaking like the old one. It seems quicker between shifts as well.

Justin recommended a dual port Go Fast Bits Response, but I really didn't want to vent any air to atmosphere and had already placed my order before he came back with a recommendation.

I need to get a few logs with it and confirm it fixed the issue I was having.

 

I've had the CS BPV for about a year and have nothing bad to say about it. It may be just a little bit louder than OEM, but not a hugely noticeable amount. Quality of the part feels very good, and it does seem to respond quicker when shifting.

 

Changed oil and rotated tires. I think I cupped these a bit at the Dragon a couple weeks back.

First ever track day on Wednesday...front driver side tire bit it on the last two laps of the final session. Whoops.

 

Installed Hula Girl Dash mod today. Highly recommend. Great performance.
