Took the car for a test spin....

Driving on cold roads blows when you want to have a little fun and open her up a bit.

 

Got an alignment.

Next up is TPMS for the gold wheels, 2 new tires for the ruined ones on those wheels, and slotting the struts for some camber gains.

 

i had to tow a hatchback civic down the freeway 20 miles with my lsj a few months back. versatile cars lol

 

I bought a m3 spoiler and some vortex generators today. Looking to buy a roofline spoiler too.

Also, looks like my SSC's are starting to sag in the front right. I emailed them. Surprise, SSC emailed me back and told me to send the pictures to Cannock Motorsports address. Looks like SSC and CM springs are the same manufacturer after all.

 

This has been known for a long time man.

The kiddies didnt want to believe it though.

 

All I ever see are debates lol.

 

That's because the peeps that ordered SSC springs dont want to come to terms that they spent more money for the same springs (CM), lol.

 

That part may not be true though. They are visually different. Probably different rates but same company that makes them.

 

I highly doubt the rates are that much different to alter the price by almost $40....

Ask them and find out. I know the rates of CM springs, and they are wayyy too soft.

 

Installed V3 to check clearances and fitment. So far so good. Just need to figure out what to use to cover the hole.

 

Just bought a set of wheels

 

what did u get?

 

Well after hunting for tc wheels for way too long i decided to go with Enkei M52's.
I needed something now since two of my wheels are leaking around the bead, and 2 shops that I took it to said it couldn't be fixed. I wasn't about to pay $500 for 2 oem wheels so I went with the M52.

Surprising enough not many people on here have them and when I googled them a red cobalt ss had them on

Good looking wheel imo

Nice wheels man!!

Hey unkle maybe a mini **** boot?

 

They are nice wheels. They started out as a fad on here when they first came out, but seemed to have died off which is good, because too many cobalts with the same wheels gets boring!

 

whats a **** boot?.... jk

lol i need something like this to sit underneath:

 

They look nice! Reminds me of the srt4 rims but a little more aggressive looking.

 

Hey thats my car they're dipped black right now because red and grey not such a good combo. I'll eventually get them powder coated but i have other things to spend money on.

Agreed, i was getting worried

 

Yeah I agree Staged!

Ecaulk I like the red grey combo! I enjoy red and black as well (see sig) but I got tired of the black wheels. Too hard to keep clean imo

You wouldn't happen to have any more pictures would you?

 

I want to sell my gold 045's and get a simple 5-10 bar wheels to PC a high metallic charcol color.

 

Wheels will be here Thursday and Discount Tire is putting them on along with balancing.

I'll take some photos when I get the chance and make a thread

 

Somewhere I probably do. I'm on my winter wheels right now and my m52's are wrapped in plastic. You'll see what I mean once they're installed in person, its not to bad, but it kinda messes with the flow. I've thought about getting them powder coated white, but those would be a bitch to keep clean

 

Well hopefully I like them. White would be horrible to keep clean, I've heard bspeed say the same.

 

Replaced my oil at 9400k kms (5.8k miles) and replaced my drivers front wheel bearing with an SKF unit.

 

My car thanked me for the new K&N cone filter with a P0172 code. Cleaned my maf and drove for about half and took the girl out for a drive to clear it out.

And ZZP shipped my LS4 adapter plate/coupling. woot.
