Default George's Car Fixed, Kinda... Had to buy new SPOON spring spacers..

I can get these for you, made of lightweight PVC, only 45.99$$ for both!! Forget adjustable coilovers, spacers are the ticket..

George's car is damn near perfect now..


Bad news, one of the rear Konis are shot now Just plain doesn't work, I'm thinking the inital drop on the car blew them out because the rear was so low..

are those JDM?

I NEED some for my car!!!!

$45? THat's cheap!

Since these are progressive...how much is your rate now that they are compressed a little all the time? I guess not too much different...probably nicer having a little stiffer rear.

Nope!
They've been equipping the highway message signs with transmitters.
Did make for an exciting couple moments though till I actually heard it with the earplugs in!

That wasn't very much notice... those signs set mine off like a mile ahead.

You need a V1

Are you talking about the Culpeper sheriff's sign on Rt 29?
No George, this was on the Pa TPK... a work zone sign somewhere at the bottom of the hill, ahead.

This one's a little shaky.
But I was driving one handed while shifting and trying to focus and aim the camera.
I already mentioned to Victor that I miss my harness "guide" camera mount bar!!

That's an intersting road course. Where is it? It almost looks like a public highway.
If you'd read above ...

How can you tell when your Koni's are shot?

Edit: Will the PVC plastic be strong enough?

Rear end bouncing like mad. Removing the dampers, it was obvious that one of them was too easy to compress, and it wouldn't hold engagement.

We'll see! I'll give it a workout on the way home.

Pretty neutral, normally. Haven't experimented with lift throttle weight transfers, yet.

Oops. This is George.

Cool!

Well I guess I'll have to ask (again) once you get a new set of shocks!


George are you telecommuting from Bryans house now?

Are the Spoon 15 or 16's?

Glad to hear you got it fixed, but I was sort of looking forward to watching you drag your butt around the paddock, like a dog wiping its *** on the carpet
