Ordered some maintenance parts. Plugs, oil filters, sway bar bushings and a wheel bearing. That's it for now.

I got back to work tomorrow so finally have some income again.

I finally got my tires mounted. What a joke that was. No one wanted to touch em.

Also my zzp fuel pump harness ****** melted and left me on the side of the road. Looking in to it the harness isn't built well enough and the wiring breaks down over time. So Taylor's tech at top speed Motorsport sports is building me a better one that lasts. Just had to run my stock pump wiring and turn down the boost for now.

Most shops don't like mounting tires they sell.

They can make way more selling you tires than they can for an hour of labour. They claim is a safety thing.

Motion all day long. I've dyno'd at every place in Winnipeg lol.

I've gone back to Speed Factor because they claimed they had it fixed. I still think the tach signal was breaking up on top my fall dyno cause the graph goes all crazy and no kr shown.

And they don't do fwd cars ever so I don't think their dyno is calibrated properly spinning the other way. Wayyyy back in the day with my M62 car with bolts ons and meth I made 301/260 at Walls lmao. The next week I went to Motion and made 258/226. Much more on point.

fuak. Curbed a wheel today.

Swapped out my front sway bar bushing last night. Forgot to install the new spark plugs.

Got my Brother to take a look at the rear end and think we agreed the clicking is from rotor run out mixed with my shiz caliper.

If it's not rashes too bad you could powder coat them. Winnipeg wheel works refinished my gf rim and it looked brand new. Just under 200$ refinished and tire remounted and balanced.

Well pretty sure my car's a write off. Adjuster said he was at $6500 damage and wasn't even done yet. And according to my boss this adjuster misses a ton.

Oncoming gravel truck didn't have his rear gate shut so he was losing gravel at 100. It hammered my front end along with like at least a dozen more vehicles. I turned around and pulled him over to get his info.

All those mud spots are stone hits.

Windshield is soft near the pillar now. And there's a bruise on the glass 6" in diameter right in my line of sight.

I should probably just buy it back and fix the hood and glass.

There's an 09 ss sedan on Kijiji....

You work in auto body right? Could probably make some money on it by buying it back and fixing it yourself. Either way though that sucks. Similar kind of thing beat the chipped the crap out of my car and windshield, not nearly as bad as that though.
