Tough life, sir.

But ya, break those tires in then "tune" the air pressures.

FWIW, sweet spot on my setup is right around 42F/40R (on all different sets of tires/wheels I have/had +/- 2#). Force of habit actually and I'm sure if I used a straight pressure all the way around, it'd be fine. State of the chassis these days is good enough to somewhat negate stagger pressures to control steering attitude anymore. But on my old S30s, would run 6-8lb differential to get the back end around. Now I adjust sway bars. Hahaha.

I also used to use my pyrometer to set pressures -and still do - but street/hills driving never got them up high enough for the temps to be particularly meaningful. Only use it now to see what alignment settings are doing when I change them. Even then, not terribly useful on the street. So seat-of-pants it is!

 

I would stay away from the Colorado, and look into a Tacoma, or even the ridgeline. I had an 06 Colorado and it pretty much made me lose all Faith in Chevy trucks...

I do still have an old S10 though, and I can't say anything bad about it. Considering I've had it for 3 years and it only cost $1000 I have gotten my money's worth out of it.

P.S. I seem to have made a semi full recovery.

 

This set cost me over $1100.00 US. I am lowered on Eibach Pros 1" and did not have camber arms. Went through my BS 760s in under 2 years. Inside 3rd on back were at breaker bars with plenty on middle and outside. I got the arms and better alignment.

Enjoy those tires, but if you're lowered save the headache, get some arms and keep it lined up. Explore your limits safely.

 

Rear camber arms are my next purchase..

 

I installed the clutch pedal, clutch master cylinder/reservoir, and the MT brake pedal for my 5AT to 6MT swap.. Just had to remove some felt insulation, take some measurements and drill some holes.. I also painted the grill cuz it was a little faded.


- EDIT: I also changed the physics of the OEM clutch pedal. I removed the ''toggle-switch'' type spring configuration and made it a ''mouse trap'' type configuration instead.. Smooooth as butter.

 

Passed the century mark so I figured it was time to change the spark plugs. Also appears I need new valve covers.



Installed a breather filter.


Installed a 75mm NWP throttle body.


Test fit the new intake .


Went for a successful test drive without no SES light. No idle relearn necessary.

As the great poet, Ice Cube, would say - today was a good day.

 

Finished the differential bushing upgrade and axle TSB yesterday. When for a relaxed 30 mile drive in the rain, went home and put it back up on jack stands for the reservoir/clutch master/clutch slave/steel braided clutch line/RJM performance clutch pedal upgrade this weekend:

 

Picked up some RPF1's with Michelin PSS on the weekend. If it ever warms up here I may actually get to put them on.

 

Brought home Samantha's heart.

We are hoping this is a 4 digit warlock

 

Pics please... when you gwet them mounted.

 

was very very close to buying EVO-R blitz spoiler. emailed Jay last night and this morning he said they are in stock. However, i've been very skeptical with the customer service of EVO-R with a lot of negative reviews. Upsetting because I really like that spoiler but don't want to get scammed.

Side note. I've been collecting parts recently for an overhaul with suspension and changing aesthetics. But I somehow always end up looking at the newer nismo 370z for sale and its been very tempting.

 

I’m still waiting to get mine back from the body shop. Starting to get kind of pissed with as long as it’s been there. If it doesn’t get in the paint moth by next week, I’m just gonna pay for the work done take the uninstalled parts and find another shop. 🤬

 

I'd tell the shop that. If they're overbooked they'll do projects with most profit/most complaints first. If they do nice work, light a fire under their butt, just don't be a d*ck.

 

Great, now I'm officially jonesing for one of these those spoilers... Thanks alot ya dick.

 

That’s just it. The guy does excellent work and a lot of custom hotrod stuff too. Idk seeing I’m paying cash and not an insurance claim if that’s what keeps bumping me down the line.

 

Well today I popped my hood, thought about doing valve covers, checked my old... Closed my hood and raked leaves for hours.

Most good body shops are busy, and anytime your not going through insurance they will probably just work on the car when they have down time from doing insurance work...

My brothers car was at the body shop for 2 years before he got it back. They did a great job, and it cost a fortune. But usually they just take on these non insurance projects to keep their guys busy when they have down time.

Thats my thoughts on the matter... Insurance companies pay out the ***, so they are hard to compete with.

 

wanna do it together so if we get scammed its together?


he was fairly fast to respond to my emails though.

 

Well mine won’t be there for 2 years although it feels like it. I dropped the aerosync bumper I had laying around off in mid January and the car at the end of January. For all that Needed to be done I kind of figure that 3 months should be adequate time. Especially when I keep getting the oh yeah we haven’t forgotten about you. You’re next in line.

 

Now that winter is "over", I swapped the OEM Shiftknob back out for my Nismo Ti ****. My hand kept freezing to it during the winter lol.

 

Wait...what? Winter's over?
