Just got a new catback installed on my car :D The XLR8 catback sounds amazing! a tad bit too loud though but I think it will tone down a bit after the initial break in

FK konigsports. While I'm not the hugest fan of FK, I am the hugest fan of konis, and koni doesn't make coils for the M3. FKs use koni shocks so I'm sure I'll be happy. I've heard so/so things about the KW v1and heard the V2s are amazing. I only ball hard enough for v1 if that, so hope I made the right choice.

Yes to save weight, it is best to just cherry pick the ones you need eg for BMW the common ones are metric 8,10,12,15,19 the last for tire lugs... for my car kit, I find having a magnetic tray is important when in an emergency, also a 2' breaker bar, stubby Phillips for radiator, pick for hoses spring clamps.

Oh and about these newer non Maximum Mastercraft sets, they are a PITA when it comes to warranty. You have to bring the whole set in + receipt even if you are changing 1 broken bit.

At least with Stanley you can go to CT and/or Dewalt repair center on Boundary to complain / replace.

This Stanely $80 set with cabinet and tool chest is way better deal than the Mastercraft one.

I lose so many of my sockets out of my generic Mastercraft collection that I don't even bother replacing cracked ones. I just chuck 'em and buy a new one. They're cheap enough. I do agree that it's getting harder to simply replace just one piece now. Had an issue with an old ratchet from one of my sets and tried to exchange it for another. I still had the receipt but it had faded into oblivion, of course. Took almost twenty minutes of arguing before they got me a new ratchet, and I think that was just due to them not wanting to deal with me anymore. :lawl:

That's odd. Only reason it's ever taken more than 5 minutes to replace Mastercraft branded tools, for me, was because the salesman had to find the actual tool. I never bring receipts in either.

Waxed/repolished my car because forgot to tell Richmond Honda to not drive my car through their car scratcher after I had my brake fluid and starter changed.

Sounds like a completely different car when cranking now :alonehappy:

underscore 08-07-2013 07:16 PM

Insured it, fired it up and drove it for the first time since March 2012.



annnnnnnd the passenger ebrake is making noise, so I get to tear it apart tomorrow night.

ForeverYours 08-07-2013 08:44 PM

Just washed my car...

Will be doing some major prep work tomorrow if I have time

TjAlmeida 08-07-2013 09:00 PM

Had it towed home, tow truck damaged my front bumper. And I think the remanufactured steering gear box I bought is no good.



Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck sakes

^ You have terrible luck. Was it towed on a flatbed or with 2 wheels on the ground?

Seems that way eh. The tow was free though. BCAA said they would give me a call tomorrow about the bumper damage.

2 wheels on the ground, Drive shaft disconnected.

Crossing my fingers it is just a defective steering gear box and i will be on the road for the Thursday meet tomorrow.

dared3vil0 08-08-2013 09:15 AM

Atleast the drive shaft was disconnected so no transfer case damage... Now THAT would suck.

Phil@rise 08-08-2013 09:39 AM

Started polishing up the heavily oxidized paint and stripped the interior of the spitfire to make room for fresh carpet stereo and miata seats

Got an alignment, washed it, ran through a bunch of the old gas and topped it back up. Boosted to 7psi, waiting for the second clean tank to hit full boost.

Unfortunately no, I can drive it a bit but it's making a noise under any moderate to heavy right turn.

artmotion 08-10-2013 02:23 PM

Finally lowered it
