Can't be certain. I know the sub frame is adjustable so there will be some room for compensation

Swapped the 99 corsa catback onto the comp g and visa versa. Then did lim and vc gaskets on a customers car. Also took a 3 hour nap today and went out to eat and took the kids to the park and pool. Busy day.
How's it soundQuote:

Last night I was coming home from my brother's place and I am 99% certain I hit a turkey. Well, I am 100% certain I hit some kind of large bird, but 99% sure it was a turkey. All I know is I turned onto my road and my lights hit it and there was no avoiding it. I tried to straddle it between the tires, but I heard its head hit the bumper cover. I was too tired to even bother seeing if it was dead. Didn't find any kind of damage to the car so all is good... except for the bird. LOL
lol I hit a frog the other day and it dented my fmhe lol
Been there done that but it was the mother of all racoons this thing was huge. It either dented the sub frame or it was from me hitting one 2 many parking concrete block things. Worst was a bag of trash, I still have garbage bag hanging from my resonator.Quote:

The downsides of commuting backroads at 4am for about 26 miles plus I'm usually tired enough I don't put effort in to avoid them, unless its a deer . I really can't wait to finally get the correct sized tires on for more ground clearance (running 225/55 now), I don't want to crack my lower bumper again. I need to make a kill list or something

More ground clearance? Man I should measure my ground clearance... So much 4x4 gp. What's the measurement? Ground to sub frame?Quote:

That reminds me, I need to order some new pads and they changed their colors around....I have a green pad that I love but I don't know if it's the old green course or the new finer one and they replaced the old green with pink.
Started my header install. Got all the old out, and new laid in place before I ran out of time. Managed to leak trans fluid all over the floor from an open dipstick hole when I jacked it up to do some work underneath. Waiting on band clamps, O2 emulator, and O2 extension... Hoping to wrap it up tomorrow!
i did that too, the trans fluid all over trick. no fun at all.
its best to beat the hell out if the fire wall before you bolt the header in. put the o2 in the header, line it up in place, mark the fire wall, beat it. test fit/beat it till its clear.
i didnt get to beat the wall good and wound up moving the o2 to the cross over due to massive KR from the o2 hitting the firewall.
Drove up to the junkyard in search of clean tail lights. Anyone in Ohio, I highly recommend LKQ at the corner of James McGee and Gettysburg in West Dayton. Best selection I've seen in a long time.
Also reeled in a GXP on the highway on ramp after I had seen him drive like a real ass through town. That was fun
Good to know I'm not the only one!Quote:

You should use the M21/M26 or Ultimate Wax/M26 combo on this car. M21 or ultimate wax will last you the winter were as M26 will only last a couple months.Quote:
