I spent all day wrapping up the installs on my car, but couldn't get it finished in time to make it to columbia. However, I just have to put new oil in and change the filter in the AM and she will be coming down off of the jack stands. Woohoo! I'm going to attempt using the string method to do my own alignment (my first ever attempt), and then she will be back on the road.

Busy day - I started at 9AM and was able to install:

Stance GR+ True Coilovers
Kinetix Rear Traction Arms
Kinetix Rear Camber Arms
SPL Rear Toe Arms (Bucket Delete)
SPL PRO Lockout Bolts and Washers (for toe & camber arms)
SPL PRO Rear Endlinks
Hotchkis Rear Sway Bar
StopTech 13.8" Slotted Rear Rotors
CZP Stainless Steel Rear Brake Lines
Akebono 2 piston Rear Calipers (Nissan 370Z Track)
Kinetix Front A Arms
SPL PRO Front Endlinks
350EVO Front Sway Bar
14" StopTech Slotted Front Rotors
Akebono 4 piston Front Calipers (Nissan 370Z Track)
CZP Stainless Steel Front Brake Lines

I finished power bleeding the calipers, and got the wheels mounted right at 5PM, so I knew that I wouldn't make it to Columbia in time even if I took it down at that point. So I went ahead and started my oil draining. Now, I'm beat and chilling on the couch watching the Clemson game.

Hope you guys had a great time & sorry I missed it. Is anyone going to Quaker Steak tomorrow night in Greenville?

Still in need of a professional alignment... It's just too far off for me to adjust on my own. I just don't have the patience to get it right since I have to jack it up each time to make adjustments. Once I build my garage/shop and have an in ground bay and a lift, it would be more practical.

are you gonna come out to quaker tomorrow?

SparkleCityHop

As long as she's safe to drive on the interstate. What time does everyone start showing up out there?

meanz

I should be able to do that. My daughter will already be down/asleep in time for me to slip out and make it. Look forward to meeting you guys in person. The car's a mess right now since I'm in the middle of all of my winter installs, but it will be good to get her out of the garage.

meanz

iTrader: (23)

meanz

I'm still numb. I also feel like my car is a matchbox beside the two beasts you guys roll. It was great meeting you both. Hopefully I'll get the alignment this week and she won't be quite so scary to drive.

taywan

iTrader: (53)

lol, me also
Yea, it was cool meeting also. A friend is coming in town fri, should have me,nsx,gs300,meanz, and whomever wants to come chill. Its supposed to warm up a little more this week also, so maybe there'll be more rides out.

Sounds fun, but this weekend is going to be pretty tough. Saturday is my daughter's first birthday so there's all kinds of prep for the party, etc. If it looks like I can break free on Friday, I'll try to make it, but Vegas odds aren't in my favor right now.

taywan

oh..i meant for quaker sunday night

taywan

iTrader: (53)

anybody in the area should come chill on sunday evening at quaker since its supossed to be in the 60's. im sure there will be a lot more compared to last week. i would love to see the higher hp Z/G's whoop up on those shitz-talkin stangs etc... i sure as hell wish my build was finished up
anyways, would still love to get as many rides as possible and chill
