Dude, come on now. I got mine off by hand -- even though I had tools at the ready. Must be all of that right hand/knob grabbing practice I have had in my life. It finally paid off!!!! I knew it would.

Now at 1.5 camber front, 2.6 rear. Need to pick up some front camber arms to get more adjustability up front.

Sounds good. 1.7's pretty good. You want more neg camber up front?

Dude... how the heck did you break that strap wrench? Dang... yours was on a LOT tighter? So what was the fate of your stock knob? Still in good shape?

Nice pic of the install. Looks great in there. How does it feel?

Switched to a less aggressive alignment. -3.1 rear camber handles great, but the tires don't like it.

Wat are u running now, red_zed?

Drex · 05-13-2011, 06:58 PM

saw some kids playing ball around my z, then noticed one of them had put his jacket on the hatch.

thought about peeling out with the jacket still there, but just went out and asked them nicely who's it was and that i was going to hang it up on the railing 2 ft away. i dont want them to come back later and **** with the z.

nothing special!

as for what else i did with my Z today...i surprisingly set off a few car alarms in an uber busy parking structure. then went to watch fast5. came out and felt like a total ricer getting into my car.

good movie though!

Drove to and from work with a modified "clutch helper spring". This is the way the stock clutch should have been...
