Nice work on the fogs.

 

Thanks... Clicky

How can you have 3.5 kids? :lol:

ones baking

i just ordered 2" springs.. watched a few videos on taking the front shocks/struts out and i have spring compressors think i can DIY.

 

How can you have 3.5 kids? :lol:

 

he has 3.5, because he still owes on one... 3 more payments and its his

 

Um no..Its "18 years, 18 years, she got you for 18 years and she said it wasn't his?!" Kanye lol

 

Looks good :thumbup:

you missed out on a awesome meet. We didn't end up going to the race room, we came back from the range and cruise a little late, but it was great!

 

No doubt.. Maybe next time

 

Yeah for sure.

 

I called my mechanic last night to get a parts quote and to ask how much he would charge to do this. he can probably swap all 4 out in an hour it will take me the whole day. if he is charging over $150 w/allignment ill DIY otherwise its worth the time save and ill just pay it.

the springs will be at my door today so ill be itchin to put them on... probably friday.

 

Didn't get any time to work on it today maybe Sunday. But I did order a knock off thule roof rack.

 

springs installed.. ride is actually decent for a cheapy ebay set. i eneded up having my mechanic do it and even he was surprised at the outcome. i aint taking pics though cuz my wheels are covered in break dust and its going to rain so no washy until after.

its not super low i've got about 1/2" of wheel gap unloaded up front... about an inch in the rear which i will take care of another weekend. not to bad for a DD/Kid Taxi/Grocery Getter i'm happy with the outcome.

roof rack comes thursday.

 

Which roofrack did you go with?

 

Thule knock off.. Says it accepts Thule accessories

I am going to take a stab at making a wood (with a grain finish) deflector if I can get a good fitting bracket and cut a shape I like I'll cake on some clear acrylic and finish it nicely. If it turns out like crap I'll just buy the Thule wind deflector and fake the funk.

I cleaned a wheel:

Unrelated: wife had an ultrasound.. It's a boy thank god (I don't mean that sarcastically). I'm seriously thanking the man for giving me with such an awesome gift.

 

looks good man. It'll look great with the racks also.

What's that I can not see it..

Bars installed; it's amazing how much more evident it gets daily that I need more drop in the rear.

 

It's a sedan:lol:

I laugh because that's four doors I'm carrying on the roof rack. Today I missed my truck just a little bit less when I went to the hardware store.

 

haha, i see what you did there! it's funny cuz it's four doors on a 4 door...

 

I made 3 brackets this weekend and did an initial cut on the panel.. I'm not happy with the shape yet and the brackets took forever with the tools I have.

Pic with racks on:

 

Gave up on the fairing bought one.

:rock:

 

44" Fairing installed

Perfect fit despite off brand racks

Now debating throwing an fswerks decal on top of the Thule branding.

 

Not that I don't have much love for FSwerks, but a OmniSpeedTunning decal would look baller


So when's this thing getting dropped on its ass?

 

It's got a mild (2") drop on it now.. I have not put my rear springs on yet right now it has oe in the rear with two coils cut off. With another kid on he way I have several nesting projects that have taken priority over the car. The goal is .5" wheel gap or less which I've achieved up front via 'Spring tech' (what ever that is). If this car was a toy then I'd tuck.

Omni speed is not a company I'm familiar with. I checked out their page and noticed they have A car on it with a HUGE fswerks visor decal.

Next significant item will probably be a cf hood. Then I need to make friends with a smog technician if I get a warm fuzzy feeling I'll start on the transmission so I can handle boost.

 

How are you not familiar with OST? :lol: Its ran by OmniFocus, lowlifestyle, and QueenJade.

 

Oh I recognize those screen names but I didn't know they owned a shop.

 

Love the child friendly Focus, not too often I see that haha

 

Thanks .. It now comes with less vibration.
(fixed the last motor mount today)

My wifes expedition is going to get some love now.. New tires. Uhg.. Cha Ching

 

blehhhh tires....so much money for regular replacements haha
