sup guys. finally got my suspension all fixed (im sure you remember the wheel wobble I had mark), had to pull some parts form oregon and bring them down with me.

oh and mark I got the turbo rotors off my donor car and they are the same size as my n/a's but either way got some new rotors.

Mark_Dorman · 10-16-2008, 01:07 AM

Glad you got the suspension fixed. It did feel pretty sketchy. Yeah I figured out that rotor size thing about a week ago when I told Abner to get new brake rotors from PartsAmerica.com. I looked at the part number and realized they were the same (I'm retarded). Sounds like you're up and running again. You gonna make it up this Sunday?

Cjung...I would go with what people have tried. Ji said he's been in a MR2 with the silkroads and loved them. He also said that's what he'd get if he was gonna us coilovers. Once you meet him and see his car you'll understand what that means

Cjung · 10-16-2008, 02:18 AM

hmm... yea i still got to meet colin... he coudlnt show up on the bbq...

Mark_Dorman · 10-16-2008, 10:21 AM

They'll both be at the tint shop on sunday. Hey...Christian...why haven't you posted your name in the Turkey Trot Roll Call?

If you guys want to see how it looks, type the part number in search on Matco Tools | Professional Hand Tools, Tool Storage and Automotive Service Equipment

o... lol i forgot... let me list my name ther

Davis · 10-16-2008, 12:12 PM

Argh stupid power windows......Abner knows what I mean. Well they used to work but sometimes when Mindys not in a good mood she keeps both windows from rolling down no matter which button I pressed, driver side or passenger, she's probably trying to suffocate me knowing that I was tossing around the idea of selling her.

So a couple days ago they completely stopped working, so now I have to figure out whats up with the wiring, but I'm to lazy to do it. T-tops off with windows all the way up is teh gheyz.

I like the silk road coilovers. For the quality, comfort, sport, and price, I don't think it can be beat. K-sport is too harsh for me. TEIN's are nice, but expensive.

I don't think I will be bringing my 2 this Sunday. She is in the garage hibernating.

Cjung · 10-16-2008, 05:20 PM

dang that sux davis... good thing the weather is gettin colder

honda_bar · 10-16-2008, 08:24 PM

Mark_Dorman · 10-17-2008, 08:18 AM

you weren't kidding colin...

Hey Christian...if you're gonna pay that much for coilovers (tein) go with KW. They're better...

Cjung · 10-17-2008, 12:55 PM

well im lookin to spend at most 1.7k on coilovers... doesnt the KW go for like 2k?

Mark_Dorman · 10-17-2008, 01:36 PM

you can find them for ~$1800. Trust me...if you're gonna spend that much money anyways an extra $100 is worth the investment in a better product.

Cjung · 10-17-2008, 02:26 PM

i can barely get 1.7k... gettin one more 100 is gonna b hard itself.. if i wait 3 more months i would b able to get it thou
