Anyone in New Hampshire?

branabolic · 07-18-2013, 05:04 PM

Oh OK. Yeah I guess thats pretty flush haha. Just the first pic it looks (side view) looks like there's plenty of room. I cant even get my finger between my tires and fender. I have a 10 inch wheel but a 265 tire so a very slight stretch which is probably why I get away with it. Don't know my offset because DPE doesn't release them but they are very flush. Not hella, but damn close lol.

b-man · 07-18-2013, 09:02 PM

I need to clean the car, then I'll take some more pictures.

It actually looks a little weird from behind because the body is not so sporty, but the tires look aggressive

Hey is anyone down to hit NED tonight? assuming the weather permits...

SilverGSX · 07-19-2013, 10:34 AM

Wish I could. I've been itching to get back there since the car makes mo' powah

u's2drift · 07-19-2013, 11:29 AM

I'm game for NED for a meet. I'm not a pro stock racing fan but if people are going it could be fun.

My car died on me today. Cranks but won't start. Service engine soon light is on. Took it to the dealership since it's still under new car warranty. Didn't hear back yet, I'm guessing it's fuel pump or injectors.

Got an x1 rental for free though, only 2500 on it. It's very laggy, and interior seems cheaps, like it's made out of cheap material. Everything is really light (weight) and soft. It has the new zf transmission, but since it's laggy you can't really enjoy it lol

I think i still might check that out at NED I bet the harley qualifying races might be cool

b-man · 07-22-2013, 11:22 PM

It was the fuel pump... I'm picking up the car tomorrow. Exhaust and lowering is next.

I'm planning on getting springs only, what do you guys think? A lot of people say the stock shocks will wear out faster but so what? Once they wear out, I can replace them with konis or sth.

Eibach, h&r or teins?

If you are planning to replace the shocks later on, I'd just get them now and save on the labor and alignment

b-man · 07-23-2013, 12:52 PM

I was hoping to wait as long as I can before changing the shocks. I also want to ask the stealership since I'm under warranty until sept 2015

Not sure how cool your sa is but if they see lowered springs they may blame the bad shocks on that and not cover you under warranty

b-man · 07-23-2013, 08:02 PM

I asked the service manager and he said the same thing. But I probably won't want to replace the shocks with stock ones anyway. I'm also not so sure if it's a good idea to lower the car since I'm in maine and there's snow on the ground for 4-5 months. But I really want to!

Bad idea. Just swapping out to lowering springs without shorter travel struts/shocks (and shorter bumpstops) will cause your car to basically ride on the bumpstops every time and all the time you hit a pothole, or rough/uneven roads. This is exasperate the "explosions" that you get. Do a search on the forum and you will see what what I'm talking about. You should definitely consider swapping out the shocks at the same time and just be done. Other people who didn't often ended up redoing their suspension soon after and paying twice.

b-man · 07-23-2013, 08:36 PM

Yeah, everyone says the same thing

I think that's what I'm gonna end up doing.

Tim, are you lowered?

branabolic · 07-24-2013, 04:42 PM

Dude the day I lowered my car on bilstein pss10's I took her out and I actually scraped exhaust on 495 over the "whoops sections" haha. The next day I came to the realization that she was now a summer car. The next week I was the not so proud owner of a 1999 v6 GMC sierra pos winter beater. Three years has gone by now and I have a slightly newer better truck and its the best decision I ever made with this car. Its an 08, and since its summer driven I haven't even cracked 40k miles yet. Plus, every march when I finally bring her out it literally feels like the day I drove her home for the first time. Moral? Dump it on its nuts, get a pos $1500 beater
