Thanks for the warning.

Mylasian GP is on in a half hour!

 

HOPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!

Shelly & Nick

 

Same to you.

 

How did you all do at the autocross yesterday?

 

We had fun

The ones running the event were slow and driving everyone nuts though.

Like NAM today, very slow to load.

Cliff won, and Steve beat me by 300th of a second, but thats ok.
Chris and Doug, were even at the end. Willum was having fun.

 

Yeah, and we don't improve fast, Chris and Doug will be beating us.

Steve

 

Well the Exhaust and short throw shifter and OCC are all now on the car.

 

Very good. I bet it sounds better, too.

 

Yea it doesn't sound like I thought it would but it does sound a lot better. I bet it will take it 500-1000 milies before it gets broken in. I need to look under there and see what its hitting because when I break I can hear it.

 

Check to make sure the set-screws in the hanger are still tight. Is it not loud enough?

Steve

 

Thanks I'll have to do that.

No I'm not sure what it is but it just doesn't sound like I thought it would.


Post 3000

 

ok I think I know what it is I need to bend the battery heat sheild alittle more.

 

As you break it in, you will like it more.

 

Yea I know I just hate waiting.

 

Steve is working on his M7-Coilover install

 

MINICheif is on his way over and wants you to install some stuff on his car.

 

Yep, he said something about that.

 

So are the Coilovers going on the car or back in the boxs?

 

Whats Steve's opinion of it? I don;t like how you have to change the springload on the rear to lower it...

 

They are going on. I will be purchasing the optional springs when they are available. The stock spring rates are 240lb/280lb (4.2k/5k) so they are a little less stiff than the Megans. I will see how I like these before I decide on the spring rates I want. My right side Megan is leaking fluid badly so that's where the noise I've been hearing on that side must be coming from. I haven't checked the rears yet, but they support a lot less weight so I don't think there will be any problem with them. I've got 50K miles on them so I guess that isn't too bad, but I don't know how long the should last.

Steve

 

The rates are linear so I don't see it as too much of a problem as long as the travel isn't affected too much. I'm installing at the least load so I'll see how low the car sits before I preload them.

Steve

 

Hmm.. It just seems like a move to cheep out on the coilovers by m7. What incentive do people have to pay $500 more for the m7 than the megan and get less adjustability?
