nothing really here. press embargo is lifting, so there's 'new' official info on the 2nd gen. tcoat's taking a vacation from us, and the covid thread is still a shitshow.

Ain't that the truth.

Take up wood chopping. Or demolition. That helps more.

imo, too much time to think. not enough time smashing things.

Depends how much forging vs grinding. Lots of fire, lots of pounding if you forge. Also still lots of time to think.
I need to find a place to set up shop. I really do.

I remember there was a time when someone pointed out my wheels/tires not being flush with the body of the car and said it would look a lot better. Got into my head so I got spacers, wheels.

Now I can't stop thinking about when someone, can't seem to remember who, said that my car has monster truck wheel gaps. So Im thinking about changing the suspension, but makes me a bit scared because CT doesn't have the best roads, and I don't necessarily NEED to lower the car, I don't track the vehicle. Is mostly spirited driving on back roads. But now I can't unsee those gaps......

They’re almost as bad as they guys going around saying mean things like “you should turn it into a racecar!”

On a side note, I have no idea where to start if I was to get coilovers? Which from what I understand can be adjusted to different settings?

bcj · 10-13-2021, 11:30 AM

Yes. You can set them higher for better clearance.

Uncouth deniers all.

The least amount of drop you can get with coilovers is about 1" iirc.

There are a lot of reasonable options. ST Suspension is made by KW, there is also the Bilstien/RCE Yellow combo that is quite popular. A good start would be to call RCE and let them know what you want out of your car. They are great to talk to.
