Good luck Frankie... Do what you gotta do man. Priorities must come first before anything else.

Davis · 04-02-2009, 01:00 PM

Yup, do what you have to do Frankie! We'll still be here to welcome you back and maybe you can throw some spare cash at us while your at it.

As you all might have noticed by now, I love melodic music. Here is one my favorites. Second to Radical Dreamers.

Radical Dreamers:

I love this song, it was the song that got me into playing the guitar. I mean I'm not that good at it, I pretty much suck!

But this song was so beautiful that I had to pick up the guitar and learn it. I've been practicing it for awhile, but I only know how to play the beginning haha. It's a hard piece to learn. I can't wait until I master it.

LYRICS:

I've followed this far in search of
That glimmering light
Clasped in the hands of a child,
Wandering the brink of time.

I have continued searching for you,
Though I know not your name,
Because I wanted to share
This feeling with you.

Time envelops both love and pain,
Until they fade away.
But I still remember them
And always will.

Though I cannot remember when,
A whisper began echoing
Deep within my heart,
Fainter than drops of evening dew.

May this prayer I spin
Weave through the darkness of my frozen stars
And reach the skies above you,
So far away.

honda_bar · 04-02-2009, 02:08 PM

Mark_Dorman · 04-02-2009, 02:29 PM

We're gonna miss ya Frankie. You should at least visit the board to keep us up to date.

ProjekIssei · 04-02-2009, 02:32 PM

Pssttt does anyone have a spare, Relay (90987-02009), that I could have or buy off them?

A picture of it. I need one so I can turn on my fog lights

The relay for the fog lights is identical to the relay for the power windows, defroster and power locks if anyone has a spare

I'd greatly appreciate it

Mark_Dorman · 04-02-2009, 02:37 PM

The interior power window relay has different prongs...but I didn't know the outside one was the same.

xltinlx · 04-02-2009, 02:50 PM

thanks frankie, im gonna look around

and davis, is chrono cross that RPG game?? i remember it lol

Davis · 04-02-2009, 03:02 PM

Hell yeah it's an rpg and the best I should say.

haha not really, I think Chrono Trigger was the best and then this.

So I finally figured out what bolt size I need: M6 x 1.25 x 30 the OEM bolt is M6 x 1.25 x 25, so the new bolt is 5 mm longer which I think is enough. Went to Ace hardware to pick some up and well they gave me the wrong bolts, they gave me M6 x 1.00 x 30

Went back and well they don't have a 1.25.

Gonna go look at more local hardware stores. So if you guys are going to install the reinforcement bracket, make sure to get that size. Well let me make sure first.

I'll let you guys know by tonight hopefully.

masagsxr · 04-02-2009, 03:06 PM

Try TrueValue..... They may have it.

Davis · 04-02-2009, 04:37 PM

So after 3 hours of searching and 5 different hardware stores, I came to the conclusion that no one makes an M6 x 1.25 bolt, maybe the bolt is an M7, it can't be an M8 because it's just tooooo fat. I will try to find out later, I'm pooped from all this driving.

EDIT:

Or maybe I just suck at measuring bolts.

masagsxr · 04-02-2009, 05:00 PM

Try TrueValue Davis

Davis · 04-02-2009, 05:14 PM

^ That was one of the places I went to.

So I went back to the hardware store with my sway bar bolt. And what do you know, it is an M8

The M8s I saw at true value/ home depot/ lowes/ ace hardware looked huge! okay so the size you'll need to get is M8 x 1.25 x 20 At least I got the 1.25 correct.

Now the question is, will an 8.8 grade bolt stand up to the force I will put on it at autocross...Maybe I should play it safe and find a 10.9 bolt.

masagsxr · 04-02-2009, 05:26 PM

Hhmmm... what was the stock one? 9 grade? I think it'll be ok since it is just holding the brackets unlike the bolts on the shock/knuckle.

Davis · 04-02-2009, 05:28 PM

Yep, the stocky is a 9. Well we'll find out after sunday.

masagsxr · 04-02-2009, 05:30 PM

another autox huh... wow.... daym autox addict

Davis · 04-02-2009, 05:32 PM

Your right! Don't look at meeeeee!!!!! *covers face*

deucegirl03 · 04-02-2009, 05:43 PM

there are far worse vices to have

Mark_Dorman · 04-02-2009, 05:47 PM

Yeah...like women

Davis · 04-02-2009, 05:54 PM

or Pineapples.

...

Argh, I wish I found these bolts 4 hours ago.

Now I can't put the sway bar on today.
