Install the OEM spoiler I bought yesterday
Install the Greedy PE exhaust I'm buying saturday
Replace spark plugs perhaps
Replace brakes on my brothers SS
Drink lots of crown royal
Possibly replace Vehicle Speed Sensor (or I may wait till I come back)
Attempt to de-fog my headlight
Gotta remove the headlight on our truck and re-seal it so water doesn't keep getting in and cracking the bulb.

- Mike - 12-09-2004

what do the trailing arm bearing cups do?
- Mike - 12-09-2004
he doesn't know, but they look shiny and cool so he wants them.
- .RJ - 12-09-2004
Attempting to minimize the toe change under suspension movement... toes in under compression (cornering, understeer) and toes out under droop (heavy braking from 120+, oversteer). Spherical bearing in there should minimize this effect, but you really cant eliminate it until you start relocating things.

RJ just wants more aluminum bling
- JohnC - 12-10-2004
Dammit.. Just remembered that the Z also needs either a new carrier bearing (thanks to the 2-piece driveshaft) or a one-piece driveshaft.... Mmmmm..... One-piece carbon fiber driveshaft....
- BLINGMW - 12-10-2004
To get the 318 track ready again:
*finish stripping $50 engine/trans down to bare block
*get block rebuilt by a recommended guy at Buckhead Motorworks
*pull out cracked motor, put it's head on the new block, put it in
*find a set of used race seats for it
Jess' Accord:
*new clutch, driveaxles, and exhaust flex pipe. I'm too lazy, and don't care to learn anything about Hondas, so OPM gets it next week. (who, ironically, just moved into the old Essex building) 8)
Cane dented, eBay 318:
*nothing
*I was told last night that someone BROKE the cane a couple weeks ago while attacking another car, and I wasn't told about it? Pics? :?

Lots of roadkill out here in the country - I will find these seven hundreds of bones you speak of, and then you must deliver the driveshaft... Yes.... Bones for driveshaft....

And if the CF shaft breaks, it would javelin into your ass.

No. The whole point of a CF driveshaft is that if it breaks, it splinters and shreds itself rather than punching through the floorpan like a steel or aluminum DS.
