I think I prefer to wait





for the rears, I am using the GK piece. I did order the GE "bush" pieces, but have yet to install them.

I honestly cant think of a way, to make that noise stop. the GK piece is metal, and I believe the noises comes from taht hitting the top where the shock mounts to. I am not certain if the GE "bush" will solve the problem or not. when its not 100 degrees outside.... I promise to try the install and report back

Well, that's practically what they're giving me to understand Can you believe it?

BlackStone Labs UOA just came in. This sample was taken at 60k, with 12,500 miles on the odo.





While the results looked great, future oci will revert back to 10k as going beyond that impacted my mpg and I felt a slight loss of power/pep. Enjoy!

Hey, just wanted to thank you for the useful info in your thread. I just ordered the Flex Z and part # 52725-SAA-G01 for my car. The Koni/Eibach setup on my car is nice but I am now looking for height adjustable suspension now. I only have about 400 miles on these bad boys lol.

glad you found it useful. I never got around to installing that bushing, and I am not even entirely sure it works on gk's. if its not too late, I could cancel that order




dumped out my catch can yesterday, I am only about 5k into my oil change interval (64751 miles on the odo) ..... and 105 ml came out. fluid seemed THIN, more than likely a good amount of it was fuel:

Nice dad swag lol!! I did enjoy a baby carrier and highly recommend one.

I have 2 kids and only have car money when I work OT but being a dad is lots of fun. Enjoy the ride man and keep the mom-to-be happy. If she ain't happy no one is happy

Ahh, the good ol' baby shower. More diapers than you ever thought you needed, only to realize later on that it is never enough!

While being a parent is an amazing blessing in its own right, remember to always take time for you and the missus. Perhaps that is something you already know, but I just want to reiterate the point.

the above has been mentioned to me, numerous times. its both re assuring, and yet terrifying

I have a feeling our grand parents will attempt to regularly kidnap the little one, and I predict we'll be happy to oblige/take advantage and do our usual mini getaways. (its always easy to say it, lets see how I hold up when game time comes, I'll report back!)
