I was on 33 the other night…cruising in the right lane minding my own business…it was late, no one on the road. I see a car flying up on me. he comes right up on my butt…like to the point where I cant see his headlights in my rearview. (mind you there is no one else on the road at this point) so I speed up to get him off my butt...he catches up, continues to ride me butt…so I move to the left lane to let him by. he speeds up…this is when I get my 1st look at what the cars is…..its a Yaris Sedan with a Fart can and an aluminum spoiler and Autobahn sticker on the back! Classic. Once he gets past me he comes into the left lane! So I go back to the right…he goes to the right lane….so eventually I get next to him so he cant cut me off anymore. I hear him down shift to try and get ahead of me…so I give it a little gas, just enough so he cant get ahead…he backs off...gets behind me again…there is another car so he goes around me...i go around the traffic and he is slowing down to almost 40mph straddling the middle line...trying to figure out wtf he is doing , then he speeds up…then he tries to cut me off…then I had enough took it to 3rd blow past him and keep going for awhile. His headlights are pretty far back. I let off. go back to normal. Get off the highway and he gets off…RIGHT on my bumper. It’s a small exit ramp…you cant get around anyone. I put my ebrake on. and turned the car off. he is honking and carrying on…he gets out of the car…I turn mine on and take off…he follows me. im traveling down the residential roads by my house. He catches up passes me and slams his brakes on…just as a cop pulls out from a side street….it was F’n awesome! He looked right at me…I was laughing. The cop was not happy. The cop waved me past and pulled the kid over. It was classic. I wish I had a video camera

haha...thats greats...a while back my friend was driving his eclipse, and was passed on a 2 lane road (no passing zone) by a minivan with a kid he knows in the passenger seat and this kids mom driving. A cop pulls them both over, lets my friend go, and gives a ticket to the other kid's mom.

My job owes me an additional $160 this week that they didn't pay me in a previous paycheck... might be the perfect time to pick up my springs. I think if I order from JSC Speed I can pick them up and save on shipping/time. Anyone deal with them, are they amenable to pick-up orders?

We can have an install party in the Doylestown Applebees parking lot and have food brought out to us, my treat for those that help. Haha.

I didn't have as many bubbles as you did, but I'm sure it's not a problem, they'll evaporate out especially if you leave your car in the sun. It's not air, I don't think, but water from the solution they use to clean the window and the adhesive. I had some small bubbles that are non-existent now. Remember, 3 days, don't put your window down and try not to touch it

That's what I'm going with, I made up my mind some time ago. I'm planning to drive this car in the winter so I need some ground clearance and comfort. I had a long night at Applebees, going to get some sleep now

I finished the suspension work, for the most part.

I've got some fine tuning to do, then I'm going to send it in for an alignment at work.

Like riding a pogostick.

I'm going to raise the front a few turns, drop the rear, and then get it aligned.

Here's how she's sitting now.

You could spray a coat or two of VHT Nightshades on the marker lights if you want.

Otherwise, you could try contacting Andrew at Bluebatmobile.net and see what he can do about cutting you a set of overlays for the side markers.
