I'm a smoker, it worries me

I was trying to convince my partner to do the same thing with his tank, then I realized I HAVE his tank so whether he wants to or not, it's gonna happen

actually, it already happened

Are you still using your charcoal canister?

Thanks man. That is what I thought and after a little more FSM searching I knew what it was and where it routed.

SUPER GLUE TIME!

BTW FUCK torquing the rear SB endlink bushings....That blew. WISH i had a alignment rack just laying around lol.

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-29-2009, 05:23 PM

I'm tellin' ya man, ditch the rear bar alltogether

FC3S Murray · 11-29-2009, 10:11 PM

I know I know but I am only running Tanabe springs and Tokico Blues. I heard you only want to run no bar IF you have coilovers with a moderatly high spring rate??? Just a rumor....?

***TitaniumTT*** · 11-30-2009, 12:18 AM

The benefit will be there regardless of the spring rates being used.... I would think less spring rate would result in a higher benefit from no bar, allows the suspension to flex. If there were no springs, only shocks and you went hard into a turn the inside wheel would lift from the outside wheels compression and the swaybar picking the inner up. So I dunno how much truth there is to what you heard.

FWIW I'm running a 7/5 setup, RB front and no rear and I love it. VERY neutral, slight understeer when I head into a turn too hot or too hard on the brakes.

FC3S Murray · 12-02-2009, 12:03 PM

So I have everything finished with my damn bushings. I have to say that if anyone planned on doing that in one night IT IS possible but a pain in the ass if your suspension has not been tampered with since it left the showroom floor back in the 80's lol.

I am thinking what I want to do next for this winter?? I would like to wire my Fuel pump to a relay but an unsure how I can have it cycle off if the engine stops running while the ignition is on. VERY tired today and will figure it out when I wake up...brain not working 100% today

Other projects are gonna include some camber plates, fuel system maintenance(filter and strainer), interior work on door panel carpet and maybe some more engine bay wire tucking.

Got some AWESOME news on Sat night; My wife and I have been trying for another little monster and my superior genetic seed pulled through and we are expecting in August

I am very stoked

SO...Looks as if the wheels are gonna have to wait til tax time

.......if other expenses do not take priority for the sake of our second child. Actually the FC will definately be on the back burner for a while now BUT it is basically where I want it besides wanting some new wheels/rubber and small exterior tweaks.

Those good old Guard Drill paychecks will have to be "car paychecks" since that money is kind of a bonus and usually never budgeted

FC3S Murray · 12-02-2009, 10:51 PM

So I REALLY like the Work Equips that rotarybeat purchased on the other forum. A couple options:

Silver

Black

Graphite (MY FAVORITE)

What you all think?? Blitz 01's or Work's..

FC3S Murray · 12-16-2009, 09:18 PM

I think I am going Work VS-XX Now Silver, Gold or Gunmetal. I really like gold lol....seriously though.

Gold on blue is too Subie for me.

FC3S Murray · 12-16-2009, 11:52 PM

I know I know BUT it does pop though.

Silver is MOST LIKELY what I will do since powder coating is so damn expensove up here in MT.

NoDOHC · 12-17-2009, 12:41 AM

How many miles do you have on your engine? Are you able to drive it in the winter?

FC3S Murray · 12-17-2009, 08:42 AM

Nope. I have about 1100 miles on her. Weather is nasty here and even when the snow melts there is so much gravel it will strip the paint off your front end.

True story.

I like the silver or the Gunmetal. When/if this happens Sean, you need to tell me what happens with the front bearing caps. I still haven't had the chance to really delve into that issue as I plan on using the Works as race for the FC for now, although they may become DD duty for the FD in the future.

Will do on the caps bro. And yes it blows balls that winter is isolation for the FC up here in MT. I miss the winter days in Cali BUT not the other BS that comes with that damn state.
