major thumbs up for that guy.

threw in a 270mm flat broadway mirror. wasn't having any visibility issues before, but now i do have 100% of what is possible. $18 shipped? yeah...
still waiting on my caliper boots... should be here by saturday and then i can pretty much have the car complete

damn, where'd you get it at?

ebay off a guy named "squashair"

ganked a canon zr100 from work... could use a wider lens... mounted it back just as far as possible, but can't get full front window and steering wheel. hrmph... we've got some zr500s i could swap with, but i'm not sure the 2.6mm will be that big a difference compared to the 100s 2.8mm.
still waiting on the f'ing boots.
- Mike - 02-08-2007
zr500 is in the car now
hrug: if it's any better. i'll just have to watch some video to work on my positioning.threw passenger's seat back in, sharpied a spot on my dash where they paint had flaked (previous owner painted it, i ripped some off with my sirius mount), touched up sideview mirror and wipers as well
must do: fail inspection, get tires mounted, make rj dinner for giving me a hand with my harness and returning my drill, tighten radiator hose, relube all caliper sliders.
want to do: vacuum and wash interior

That's the cutest thing I've ever heard on this forum.

Forgive me for being dense but why must you fail inspection?

because my exhaust leaks, the car is currently uninspected, and it will give me a 15 day free pass

And again, I have the answer to all your solutions if you just drive your POS out to chantilly.

oh yeah? i'll be in touch. by failing inspection it'll motivate me to finally get a new exhaust...

MOTHER F'Rs! Boots were scheduled to arrive today, I'm about to head home, check tracking to find "A MECHANICAL FAILURE CAUSED THIS DELIVERY DELAY"
So now the car sits until the 12th. HIKFSDFJKDG

x2 Strangely enough that is the exact same thing that happened to me. Was it FedEx?
- Dave - 02-09-2007
that's creepy, I had some bushings supposed to come in today for the 240 via UPS that got delayed on Wednesday. I didn't get any explanation though, other than expect them on Monday. Too bad the car is going to be jackstands waiting for the shit to arrive.
- Mike - 02-09-2007
yeah, the hatch has been jackstands waiting too... it's UPS. it says the item was in laurel today... why can't they deliver tomorrow?

- HAULN-SS - 02-10-2007
dont you have to pay extra when you ship UPS for saturday delivery?
- Mike - 02-10-2007
dunno. IMO if the item was supposed to arrive on friday, but didn't due to their fault, they should deliver on saturday regardless of what it costs.

maybe the UPS truck crashed into the fedex truck. it seems like everyone's got parts flying everywhere. with the track season starting up in the next month and i know for a fact that MM isnt the only slacker group of drivers, i wonder how many people are doing their last minute upgrades before goin to the track and patronizing ups, fedex, usps, etc. and helping business
- Mike - 02-10-2007
last minute is totally not 3 weeks in advance. i'm quite comfy with my current state.

i'm just talkin about in general, not you specifically
