I drove my car over 110 miles today. Now she is thirsty and I'm still not done driving. These seats aren't that damn comfortable

Orion amp is in, And man o man does it make this W3 hit. I had to take it apart and make some longer power wires, but other than that it works great! Turns out my buddy wants $30 for it, but that's still a steal! I need to run another power wire just for the amp, but that'll come in the next few weeks. For now the lights dim a little under full bass. Stereo sounds better than ever though, I've never seen a single 12 sound like this, except for my cousin's W7.

Like. I've been planning on this for a while, pretty soon the days will be short enough I won't see my car in the light of day. It's easy and cheap enough to do for fun imo. Underhood temps get high in the summer so the 3m adheasive they come with won't be enough. They may get yellowed, so we''ll see.

I agree with you 02NavyBlue - So I connected it to a magnet strip and I have some zip ties to hold it in. I put 2 strips in so 1 is on the top part to shine down, while the other is on the hood near the firewall. This is great so I can pull it off easily and set it down in the engine bay to better see.

Got my alignment done.


Guess I'm going to need camber bolts as well to get the camber I want. I figured with the adjustable lateral and control arms I wouldn't need camber bolts.

I hate that print out, makes thing harder to read.

But from the looks of it, everything was put to within spec. Rear has slightly more camber but is still in the green, so it won't cause extra tire wear. I wouldn't touch it if it was my car, I'd almost rather have more negative camber around like -1 to -1.5ish.

Hmmm. I just want good even tire wear

No matter what the rear tires over time will wear on the inside just because that factory calls for negative camber. Less camber would maybe slowly reduce the amount but it will still happen. What makes it worse is that you have to run smaller rims/tires in the rear from the factory and you can't rotate like normal to reduce wear.


But having the same size rims and tires all the way around would greatly reduce the chance of the tire wearing out on the edge before the actual tread life/height becomes a concern.

Well my front tires usually last about 15k. But right when I bought the car I put good hard tires on the rear. They've got around 20k on em now and still plenty of tread left.

You can always have the tire shop unmount the rear tires and flip to the other side.

Or buy non directional tires.

My fronts wear good. And actually the rears are directional so I can switch those.

My roof rails came off today. They were coming unglued. When I re-glue the rails I'll be sure to use a lot more urethane and scuff up the rails so they stick better. It looks weird to me without roof rails.

It looks better without the rails.....
