Man, it’s been slow as hell this week. Nothing really going on at all. I finally got around to picking up some new wheels this week since I got rid of my Eurolines after the birthday fiasco. I seriously never look forward to jacking my car up in the air to do anything because it’s just an awful pain in the ass. That’s one of the reasons why I miss having a Honda. Usually like 3-4 pumps on the floorjack will get that shit up in the air and ready to work on. With this car I have to drive on like a wood board to elevate the front, not to mention that I can’t even get a low profile floorjack under it unless I jack the car up from the tow hook in the rear. Once I get a little bit of space then I can slide my scissor jack up front and wedge it under. That and I also push up against the sideskirt while in that process and it just makes me nervous. Did I mention I plan to make it lower soon? Man I can’t wait to get airbags on this car…just not looking forward to the ride quality afterwards. Anyway, the wheels look better than I thought they would. Me being away from working on cars so long has made me forget how big of a difference 10mm is in terms of offset on wheels. Now sitting at 0 offset in the rear, I get that nice poke that I’ve been wanting for the longest. I need an alignment badly though. The toe in the rear is just way off and I’m gonna eat up these tires like the last ones. It sucks not living in a place with an enclosed garage because I can’t really do the things I used to on my other cars…
Oh yeah, my car has been sitting so long that it barely even cranked over today. I basically parked it that night of my birthday and it had been sitting since…
Nothing really Honda related today….
On a brighter note, everyones favorite hate-fodder, the JDMEgo blog, is back! I don’t know why people hate on the guy so much, guess it comes with some reasonable success and a strong mind. He doesn’t always say things that everyone agrees with, something I can relate to, but he knows what he’s talking about. The guy knows his shit plain and simple. Back before he deleted his old blog I was getting alot of traffic from his side and he even hooked it up one time and made a post about this site. It’s only right that I return the favor so I invite you all to head over there to read his ramblings. I don’t have anything near interesting to talk about today so maybe you’ll find him more informative….
