yah, i was breaking up a sweat this morning after my drive on my MCS
SprayOn waxing it when i got back. it was only 80F but high humidity.


hey, i got my F-day camera yesterday and been playing with it to figure out
all its little features. pretty cool.

 

Did you take any F-day video with it? Can you post it on YouTube?

 

I've got new tires to put on so after I wash in the morning I'll be cleaning rims so I can swap. I got a set of Cooper Zeon ZPT for free as part of a test marketing program with the only catch being I had to pay for mounting. So off come the Nittos and on go the Zeons. I'll be testing them this summer and documenting the performance for Cooper.
Cooper: "Here is a set of free tires, please drive them hard, try to trash them and let us know how they do" - - You gotta love this country!

 

Lucky Bastard. Guess your superior social skills scored you some tires.

 

Naw, I just was cynical and threatened them.
So yeah, I guess my superior social skills did pay off!

 

That approach usually works best for me, too. Putz.

 

We just climbed out of the basement, very severe storms just blew through here.

Mark

 

Yikes!

 

they will have the last laugh when the tire structurally fails by design
on the fastest turn.

 

Hey, that's why they're testing them... to find the limits...

 

any damage?

 

yah, nothing like field testing with someone's life.

 

I'll gladly sacrifice my life for your protection (and free tires).

 

First trip to the cellar for the pups. Since neither one will go down there, it was quite the experience. Ruby made noises we had never heard before We just got a lot of rain but tornados have been spotted all over the place. Some on the ground.

I did the Canuck thing When the going gets tough, have a couple of beers I think I may have another

Lois

 

for some reason i read (and free fries).

 

dang, sounds super scary.

 

Yikes... glad all is well with Lois and Mark...

I just scored a used set of Koni FSDs
Missed a set of used camber plates by 2 minutes, unless the first guy in line falls through... doh. If I'm gonna go to the work of doing struts, I'd really like to do the plates at the same time and be done...

 

blimey- as long as you dont use lowering springs they apparently tend to
work pretty well.

 

yep... they actually seem OK for lowering of 3/4" or less... I run stock height... and they guy that had them ran TSW springs at 1/2-3/4" drop, so should be OK...

 

sounds good!

 

Suns out now. Major damage and flooding around the area. We had over 3 inches of rain in under 2 hours.

I have been thinking of lower Poco about 1/2 an inch. He is getting close to 100k miles, so I figure some suspension mods are in order.


Mark

 

sorry to hear about the damage around the area.. im assuming you still
have power?

yah, sounds like a good time to do springs and struts.

 

Yes, lots of water!

As soon as the tornado warning was lifted, I had to motor my daughter to a dance practice. Then hit solid traffic on the way as many streets were flooded.

 

dang... hope those floods receeded by this am...


cloudy here and will be pulling out the G in a little bit. got some new
TEIN mechanic's gloves im using as driving gloves and they are fantastic.

 

motoring was fun. QD'ed the side mirrors and front bumper, clarity'ed
the glass.

will QD the entire car tomorrow after tomorrow's drive.
