Woody you wish there was. If you were in F&F Tokyo Drift then you could have been the REAL cowboy. Hahaha

Oh BTW, my mom just returned from Hawaii with some cool Japanese car magazines for me. I'll have to take some pix and load them up here. AND I got a wicked Domokun shirt too hahaha

 

hey everyone!!!

 

What up Randy!?

 

nothin much i haven't been on in a min so i figure i check in see how everyone doing.lol

 

My friend sold the Impala haha.

Anyone know how to rebuild a coilover?...... No instructions came with the rebuild kit thingy.


Btw, you can't be jdm if you're over 5'5. Squinty eyes is also a MUST!

 

you squint youre eyes on purpose and you are 5'6.

 

If you don't know how, just take it to a shop because there is plenty of room for error in this process. You basically need to take the entire coil apart and replace all the seals, bearings, etc., then you put it back together in reverse order, and then you have to replace the fluid in it and then charge it.

 

^I would have to agree with him. While I'm plenty comfortable installing coilovers, I don't think I'm confident enough in myself to rebuild one and trust it on my car haha

 

I sure as **** am not doing anymore. I've done a few out of courtesy and some for cash, but it's such a hassle. Absolutely never again. I'll install springs and coilovers, but no more rebuilds.

 

I wish I was 5'6.
A friend of mine did a coilover rebuild for another friend of mine, it wasn't too bad actually. BC's have a rebuild cartridge, basically take off the piece that connects to the knuckle, the ride height thing, spring, and pillow mount along with the dampening thing. While they were doing the rebuild I was doing something else so I complete missed it. I think I'll have Andrewtech do it, I don't wonna get shot by a spring. It just might hurt a little.

 

^yea i havent had a chance to get any info on a rebuild, sorry bud, been EXTREMELY busy at the shop with this snow and getting out racecar ready for VIR this weekend!

but SOOOOO glad the snow didnt stick today.

 

VIR is this weekend?! I thought there was a big day in April?

 

I still need to visit the shop. I was thinking about it today but we didn't have our 1hr lunch break.

 

yea this weekend is NASA track days. and testing out the car with new tune and different tires.

 

im ready for college park meet

 

I'm ready for my car to be aligned hahaha and to not have a cracked FRP body kit, piece of phucking sheet.

 

^yes we will do work! haha itll be dope!

 

They certainly aren't cheap. I've never had a chance to see them in person.

If you have a compressor, you'll be fine. Just make sure the compressor is a good one. I have a picture somewhere of what happens to a garage door when a loaded spring takes off and goes through it. This is why I stopped buying Harbor Freight junk when I need it like yesterday.

 

lol... it sits like an inch off the ground of course it was bound to break haha.. thats the only reason i dont wanna get a new bumber.. im to low
