Ditto DTJ....


Well, I have been slowly working on my door panels... I have the rear pulled off, sanded, primed and have the three coats of paint and 2 coats of clear on drying over night... I'll take so pics tonight to post up. I'll probably buff them up with some rubbing compound to make them look better.....


I also started to pull the fronts off ... . I'll post the crappy install that I paid 700 bucks for.. I hope to clean them up a bit more... and get them installed... I promise I"ll get some pics up tonight... at work right now....

Well, I know that I haven't been on here in awhile... Sorry guys/gals, I've been dealing with a lot of other things than my car which is still on stands. The Door panels are fixed and re-installed, they look good for now, I hope that they will last through 2008. The suspension is the other issue. I have talked to my old sponsor in SoCal (Group5Motorsports) and we are working to resolve my adjustment issue. I have used every type of penetrating oil to loosen it up, but no luck. Last night I worked til midnight and removed the passenger rear coilover. (Subborn bolts wouldn't come out [:@]) So tomorrow I will be taking it to my buddies shop to degrease the coilover and see what I can do. I'm also getting in contact with KW to figure out what I need to do. I hope to have this figured out soon... My show season has already started and I have missed 2 shows so far.[&:]

I will post up pictures I hope tonight if I have time

I know how it is when you miss shows . I missed a few last yr to do my ride being in bodyshop. Shes got to have more body work before my 1st tuner show may 17th. Hopefully she only has to be in for a day or so not like a month like last yr. Good luck with your suspension and hopefully you get to go some shows this yr. Bytheway I found out what my health problems is . I have a really bad sinus infection and have to take alot of medicene to reduce the pressure in my ears plus I just found out I have to wear glasses now my right eye is pretty bad seeing out of it is horrible.

Yeah that is what's been going on with me. I was sponsored though Group 5 Motorsports where I purchased them from (sponsorship price). I called them today and will need to get back with them tomorrow to figure out what is needed to be done. Thank man, and the same to you my friend... same to you.

Well I have tried the PB cleaner and it didn't help with the movement. It did help with getting the bolts loose on the rear suspension when I removed the coilover....

I have came in contact with KW and need to call them again today to resolve this problem.
Here is the "seat" that the spring adjusts on.

Its made of Nylon, so the spanner wrenches are locking in correctly

Well the Seat wasn't x-treaded... I took to my buddies shop and we broke the coilover down and put it though a parts cleaner... It did the magic. THere was a bunch of crap in the threads, we lubed it up with silcone spray and its free moving now, I'm going to intall this weekend and I hope that there is enough clearance to take it to a shop to get the fenders rolled. we'll see.......
