Passed inspection! The shop couldn't give me an alignment due to my wheels. Lmao the asked if i had a lowering kit on my car! Anyway they tried to still sell me a lifetime alignment at full price, for only my front wheels.... Of course I didn't go for it.

Time to continue my search.

I guess my diff bushing is blown. Maybe that's why my car has not been going into gear upon heavy acceleration, causing me to miss shifts and grind. I'll be doing a diy on this one and replacing the bushing with whiteline.

Wow, sweet place to wait Looks like that video game is about the size of an Abarth.

I'd see if they can get your left front camber to match your right, you want a bit more camber there and to match it to your -.6 right front would be good. All your other specs are gold.

Progress. Finishing this up today.

Diff fluid works brilliantly. The bushings are AWESOME! That cleared up the slop my shifter was having under throttle. Install sucked, but wasn't terrible.

Oh and shout out to Bosch for making a great product. In a rush, I lowered the car on my impact gun. Didn't even crack the housing! Still works as it did before!

So my black lab thinks the center arm rest is a stepping stool.

Ordered a new faux alacatera cover from redline. Why faux, because I'm a college kid and want to spend the other $50 else where lol.

Missed a few of your latest replies, not sure if serious on the lowering on your impact gu, but if so, nice to hear it's up to the task, lol.

Are you getting the hail damsge repaired at a PDR shop?

Nice to hear things are running well on your coupe, keep up the nice work.

Finally done with class, so re wired my escort 9500 ci. Used an add a fuse circuit.

escort matching toggle switches for the stability control defeat and the third brake light switch to do a standing burnout.

Finally installed my redline goods armrest cover. I'm not too pleased with it to be honest. While I'll be the first to admit my girlfriend's and my install is far from perfect, but my beef is with how it fits. The stitching is not straight and the fabric curve was not measured correctly. Maybe one day I'll take it to a shop for a professional to do, but as for now it will suffice.

Like many, my center divide for the cup holders broke, due to me putting in a cup that was too big. Well I had some left over kydex and thought this will be a great substitute! It will flex and shouldn't break. If it does, the stuff is cheap!

I still need to polish it up a bit and round the edges, but it works!

Changed the oil last night. Went with Moble 1 European formula (0w40) and Moble 1 10010 (whatever the physically extended filter) filter. I think I'll be purchasing a catch can next.

Dropping her off at the dealer. I think the cause of my dropping idle is due to dirty throttle bodies (59.5 k miles)

I'll also have them look at the voltage again, and figure out if I have a nail or a cracked rim. Tire is losing about 10psi every week or 2.


My grandmas Dalmatian poked a hole in the passenger seat, so looking for replacement. Probably will go with an aftermarket "racing" set of seats.
