Today's maintenance is an alignment. After the axle replacement it's scary how fcked up my alignment got. The toe is pointing out so bad you would think I couldn't drive it. Plus the rain didn't help at all. Felt like I was driving on ice.

Oh yeah, this is absolutely sick.



Edit: Damn looks like I need photo bucket pro.

I know the feeling, my toe is so terribly ****ed up.

Oh yeah.

"Maintenance is paramount." stickers are coming soon. I'm not supplying them so I don't really know the specifics yet. I've seen them and they are sick.

Edit: Yeah I said it.

Ill take one!

The dudes at the alignment place still had issues getting my car on a lift that was level with the ground. That made my day.

^ awesome

So which raxles did you go with, i remember reading people saying go with 100mm rather than 108mm and stuff like that.

[oakdub]

there is options?

[.Ant]

The guy just asked my FTG and said he'd set up the axle for my height. I dunno.

[04 2.slow]

you at 22.5 right? just for curiosity not trying to copy your setup or anything

and oakdub im alomst positive i read that the 100mm allows you to go lower than the 108mm but maybe it depends on what engine, like vr or 1.8 or 2.0 i have no clue

till i break an axle im hanging with mine + im not low enough

[.Ant]

Yeah I'm at 22.5

[04 2.slow]

now get polo strut mounts and caps from ecs and be at 22"

jokingdont wanna go breaking raxles meow

[oakdub]

stupid ultimos can go sub 22 without polo bushings

yea when i talked to marty he only told me about 1 option for my 2.0 5speed.

2.0 axles are a lot cheaper then 1.8t axles though

I still have alot of threads left. I can probably get close to 21 with them.

I have ultimos and i just need smaller tires and winter time to get my setup to be "vortex low"

He didn't ask me my height?

Because you dont have stickers after you. Make a catchphrase and he'll ask your ftg lol

and ant do you have helpers in?

[.Ant]

Weird he asked me right away. Additionally he actually understood how low I was. The man knows his sht. Any other company wouldn't have known the difference between 26 FTG and 22. It would just be a trivial number to someone else.

No helpers. No perches. Springs are zip tied on.

you know if you kept up on the maintenance that wouldn't have happened.

I'm guessing the bottom of my coil was rubbing the boot. I haven't jacked it up yet to check. I only reached under and got a bit of new grease on my hands.


Other news, I put my engine covers back on. Engine bay looks much better now. I think I may polish my FMIC piping when I have nothing else better to do. Maybe break down and finally get a Cone filter. Maybe....
