snorky,

i just read over your journal. all very tastefully done, i must say.

the only thing i think i would possibly do different is to get some springs that aren't riding on the bumpstops. i originally wanted the yellows because they have a nice drop, but after reading about how far those things will put you on (even the shortened) stops, i changed my mind.

do you have updated whp/tq #'s?

Thanks for the kind words sir. As far as the suspension goes, i'm ahead of you. I had ohlins fixed struts, sold those on ebay for nearly what i paid. Bought PSS9s and returned them. Right now, i'm waiting to see how TIC coilovers pan out.

Just because the car is sitting on yellows doesn't mean i'm happy. I sold my stock springs so it's all i got. Will i ever be happy?!

All the parts I have are sitting in their respective boxes. I need to get some things sorted out before i put it all on. So numbers are the same if not less because i put the HFC on for autox. just the tbe, snorkus delete, and a k&n is what i made those numbers with.

nice wheels!! post some pics of the wheels on the car.

***snorky*** · 01-07-2008, 09:11 AM

I am in the process of getting them replaced by ADVAN/Mackin. They have had my wheels longer than I did. Supposedly the replacements be here in the coming weeks. I'll post plenty of pics in the spring with the wheels and a couple fresh coats of wax on the car.
