Coilovers are in! Thanks for the help:)

Post by jo »

Well the Tein Flex went in pretty easy it seemed. Despite a tool run and a PF Chang's break, things were wrapped up within about 4 hours. I can't thank everyone enough for coming through with the help. Four sets of hands are definitely better than one. Sam, Barry, Mike, and Cody...you guys rock! Another great job done at 507 :D

The ride is amazing. It's going to take some getting used to, but it really rocks. The nasty ripped up road at 14th St and Howell Mill sort of banged my teeth up a bit, but I need to play with my settings a bit and not haul ass through areas like that anymore.

I'm ready for the mountains! Let's go now:P

I know of a pretty good route around there to practice driving/drifting on late. I am at Tech, so I usu. hit that area often with the supra on late nites.

nobody if you ever want to be in WRC then bumpy roads with coilovers should be no ISSUE! Glad they went in easy, Andy said when you press down on the car there is no movement. Chingy!

You're at tech? What major are you? Both Sam and I go there-- Sam is undergrad and I'm a second year grad student. I haven't seen any supras on campus yet so you must park on the otherside of where I always am!

I say that about Superbike night because if my lazy ass goes anywhere other than in front of my PS2 it will be Superbike FOERST, then to NP. It's about priorities with one wheel in the air!

Pssst. Hey nobody... There's really no good reason to keep some dirty old suspension parts lyin around. You know you're not ever going to want to go back to stock. Think of how much quicker you'll get that HKS exhaust if you sold them to me...
