Forever Simone

That was the name of this center cap which magically disappeared during my drive to work last night, good thing these things are 60 dollars a pop. Lord knows I had better things to spend my money on 2 weeks out from Nisei =/ Yes this wheel is dirty, just like the Pollack it's named after =) p.s. luke, go suck it ! 

Well my brother ended up being sick and was at home asleep all day. I could've spent it with my girlfriend if I knew. We rushed out to have breakfast this morning at juliennes in san marino. Meet your sugary death!  I had the creme brulee french toast. My buddy kept nagging to try this place. It was okay but I need to try a few more items. I really wanted the chilaquiles, next time. Anyway I rolled to my parents pad in fontucky to meet up with my brother and tag team this body work. But if you saw the opening I ended up resolving some other shit like my brake bias, e-brake cable not working, oh and I cut off my ducklips. And I got to see my other family before all of this started. Here is a horrible picture of me with my other nephew Ernie jr. I haven't been able to spend as much time with my girlfriend or dog as I would like but at least I've gotten to see a lot of folks who I feel are important so I can't say my weeks been a bust.  Back at ...

Got a recommendation to hit up JC Auto House for an alignment, my shit was pretty out of whack, normally it's only like 90 bucks for a 4 wheel but I had advised my shit was jacked and needed jesus in a bad bad way haha. 120 out the door dude has my thrust angle at 0 I'm happy with the adjustments and tried to take some pics of my car but I was failing in panorama land. Needless to say Cyrus is a cool dude, language barrier is what it is haha. But very open communication. I read a review from a friend on yelp who slammed his business and there was about 40+ positive reviews towards his negative and maybe one other negative review. Both chassis related, my whole suspension is adjustable so it should be a dream to work with. Added more camber in the front 2.5even Toe is 0.12L/R total .24 Rear camber is -4.0 Toe 0.12 L/R / Total toe= .24 He told me the math break down of things and said that it should either be 11.5 but since the decimal is already in front of the number...

Upgrading my sub frame gave me the same feeling I got when I spend 1100 dollars upgrading my computer. MEH. I can tell you that the solid sub frame bushings doesn't change the noise output of my interior AT ALL as far as the whine I was warned about. Besides the alignment being shit now and the car feeling like a flamboyant boy child striking a pose while driving or my e brake totally having no kind of slack at all, or the brake dust shield being pinched on a rotor and smoking the whole way home haha.... I can say those are all little nuances that can be repaired later some creative thinking and another pair of hands got these bushings pressed in.  dirty feet it's a think of beauty! and they will be replacing this guy below Center of bushing completely separated from bushing body causing SHIT handling/vibration/DEATH CLANKS Goodbye old subframe.  I love how I have this thing up side down for a comparison ...

You've read, seen, probably have done this once in your 240 life and you will agree that it's probably the most unpleasant feat of work you have to do to a subframe period. Stopped by Jordan Innovations (big surprise) Hey don't eat that, it's my dinner.  Quickly's it's only fair I eat like this before spending the next 6 hours in the blistering heat BBQ Air Chisel, PB Blaster, Circular cutter, bushing butter Solid Subframe bushings in place (not pressed in yet)  It was pretty windy so it kept putting the fire in the bushings out, that was kind of annoying. I eventually cooked them all up, which kind of sucked because this subframe's bushings were damn near new. But if you ever want to convert to solid bushings or any kind of bushings and your car is your daily I'd recommend a spare subframe to do this with. Luckily Jack let me use his spare s14 subframe in trade for mine which should just fall off of the car at this point the ...
