I also take my car to an automated car wash, but its the touchless one if you know what I'm saying? Is this bad? Or just thrones that have the spining brush things? Not that my paint isn't fubared...

[Billburt]

i tried to take mine through one they day i got it and the valance wouldn't clear the rails so they hand washed it

[eurolicious]

Best kind of car wash (i just spray simple green on the wheels and the lower portion of the car before i enter it):

ive cheated in the winter, sometimes i dont have the patience to wash my car when the water freezes to the car when its 10 degrees for a week straight.

Haha, I know what this is like East coast winters

[oakdub]

last winter i used to go to the do it yourself car washes, most of them actually spray hot water but bring your own sponge and soap obviously.

was escepcially helpfull when someone egged my car and i didnt see it untill it froze to the paint

Finally moved onto my false floor project.

Wait to order toes shims until you get that alignment.

I ran into some issues tonight putting in the drop plates. Brake carrier bolts would not break free. I had to cut off 3 of the 4. While using a bolt excavator the bit broke and I hammered my thumb. So I wrapped up for the night and tomorrow I'm bringing the carriers to the local machinist to get the bolts out.




I did manage to get the plates on though. Once I get the carriers fixed I only have to cut off the old bearing race and put everything back together.

Dude, you've been through alot of stuff with that car, for keeping it going.

[eurolicious]

Damn dude sorry about your finger, that looks awful!! Did you try hitting the bolts with this little guy here?




Sent from my toolbox using pliers and a screwdriver.

Front 23.5 and rear 24". Monster truck status. I dont have to dodge little cracks anymore.

You just made me realise I forgot to get a before and after FTG measurment. I knew I'd forget something. I think I got around an inch. I think it can go down more, but my wheels arent allowing it.

wow the plates make a huge difference, looks good dude

the plates did do one hell of a job.

Oh yeah most certainly. You can see that they will from the design. Lets say you were static and put them on. You would be significantly be lower due to the stub axle's higher location.
