Went to VIP today to get an alignment. Mentioned that my car was lowered.
I leave and get a call 10 minutes later saying they wont do it. They said my struts were blown and thats why it was so low. When I told them that they were 1 week old adjustable coilovers, they told my my tie rods were then bad.
I got to the shop, made them lift in front of me, and I wiggled the wheels, no play at all.
What a shame...at least a left without having to pay anything for nothing.

Town Fair on Rt.1 in Peabody/Saugus, MA, has ramps built for lowered cars

I'll have to check that out. Buddy of mine down in boston is chipping a few ecu's for me and in return I'm painting his h22 vc. When I go down there I should stop by.

Not much going on.
The guy that did my whole exhaust fucked it up AND didnt put a cat when I specifically asked for one. Now he wont redo the work he did. So I'n driving around sounding like a mix between a tin can and a bumblebee.
Did inner/out tie rods + front wheel bearings.
Installed extended wheel studs + extended lugs
And the HIDs
Probably going to be slow next few weeks. Gotta catch up on bills since I suck at budgeting.

To make it easier on my tuner and due to the fact that next year I'll be tracking it a bit more, I installed a wideband that I had sitting around.
Got a Seibon CF hood for mad cheap, resanding it and clear coating it
Finally got OEM headlights, needed them for awhile now but was too lazy.
Got a legit HKS filter right from HKS, also resanded the HONDA MOTOR CO on my vc.
Rear Disc Conversion (in progress)
Right side filler panel
Fixed my ECT/VSS issue.
I recently got a house, so finances have been set back a bit, but my plans are:
New Driver side shaft (boot is ripping)
Recenter Steering Rack
Lower the rear another inch
Install rear discs w/ new calipers, pads, rotors, extended studs, and new bushings (This and the last 2 on the same day so I can get 1 alignment)
Then out come the winter tires
