I do have resistors, that's why I'm wondering if I even wired it correctly to begin with. I will check on the taps

 

Finally gave the G a proper place to sleep...

 

I attempted to install my rear toe bolts today. Right up to where I realized that I ordered camber bolts instead.

Ugh! I guess there's no point in installing my front camber a-arms today either.

Maybe I'll find some time next week when the correct ones come in.

I was able to get one thing done though.
I finally got the Escort off of the windshield suction cup mount after 10 years.



So there's that.


I guess I'll try to make due and giver her an oil change and wash.

Maybe it's not a wasted day after all.

 

FINALLY! got my paint corrected to remove some of the swirling and all of the holograms left from the previous owner.. now I can not be ashamed to see my car in the sun!


Also in the past few weeks; hit 20k miles, finally tinted with 20% 3M Color Stable all around, vinyl wrapped window trim and rear trunk valence and debadged.


Next up - Oil change and vinyl wrapping the grill

 

Nice mount. I went a different route and got it hard wired in the bottom left of my windshield along the column, so it stays very hidden, but it can still see ahead. I went with the Beltronic STI Magnum. That was actually only done yesterday :-P.

I only use mine on highways though, never in the city, as it isn't an approved devices on the nearby roads.

 

What communist state do you live in?

 

Manitoba, Canada. Haha! It's only approved in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan I think.

 

Wasn't feeling the muted bronze/black Niche Veronas so I switched to Rohana RC7 20x9+32 / 20x10+45

Before w/Niche Verona

After w/Rohana RC7

 

The oem type silver looks much better on the wheels

 

Always liked the RC7s (IMO their nicest looking wheel), especially the deepest concave sets. Those Niche wheels looked nice but w/ your chrome accents the silver looks at home for sure.

 

Agreed, I chose the bronze/black Niche Veronas initially because I wanted a chunky 7spoke that required minimal upkeep. Where's the fun in that though? The Rohanas are still chunky with a huge side of Bling.

 

That's odd. The eccentric bolt kits that I got from SPC were exactly the same for both the toe and camber bolts.

 

Both sets of wheels look great. The silver RC7's do match your chrome trim better, but I think that I actually preferred the dark bronze look of the Niche Veronas.

 

Yeah. I messed up and got the 72055. I think they are for the g35. They are 10mm too short.

 

^ Yeah, those are for the '03 - '06 G35 sedan/coupe. That sucks, but hopefully you can return them. I have an extra set of the 72265 if your interested, since I'm not using SPL lockout bolts for the camber arms.
