Meh?



Getting started.



My camera doesn't capture the color that well :\

[lambo]

Washed it and installed new roundels (finally!)...



Also, started with the yellow vinyl. Just need to do the highs, now. I like it.

Looks like little boo-boo on your valence. :(

You are needing wheels in the worst way. ESMs are on sale! GO GO GO!!!

Yeah it sucks! I need to look into getting it straightened...

I know... I'm just not really in a position in which new wheels are a very big priority. Refinished 16x8.5 Salad Shooters are my goal, again haha...

Added yellow vinyl to my high beams. I like it! For the time being, anyways.

Before

Boom. Turns out the passenger side headlight had a previously broken adjuster tab that had been repaired but failed. So, I had to epoxy it back together again...



;)



Annnddd all done!



Lights on



Oh yeah, here's longcat lol

Just trying to figure out what is causing the stupid knocking sound in my suspension...





Also, May can't come soon enough...

Knocking front or back? Strut collars? Dead shock?

Contingent on your dampers you're most likely just bottoming out the shock. Bump stops or no.

your car looks really good on the weaves! probably cause it's lower than mine :(

Knocking is coming from the front. The driver's side shock is blown but the noise is coming from the right as well. I'm sure I'm not bottoming out. Strut collars are also tight.

There are some videos and stuff in this thread, if you're interested!

Yeah it looks good from that angle... I'm just tired of the sunk-in-ness of them...

Love this car. Clean and simple in all the right ways.

Have you contacted Komi or GC for a replacement strut insert yet?

Yeah, I've talked to Mark. Only problems are that my strut inserts are an older style so I need to buy a new one for the right side as well as get a replacement for the left. Also, I have no garage to work and not a lot of time to work on my car... blehhhhh

Hmm, with shortened housings don't you just unbolt the three nuts at the top (camber plate) and you can pull it out from under the fender? I can do that on mine with stock housings, so swapping struts is a breeze. I wouldn't worry about time or space too much.


And before people try to take this the wrong way, I'm only asking in case you didn't realize how easy it is :)
