Yeah good stuff man! Getting a pair of 20mms for the rear is becoming very difficult though. I placed orders with two different dealers who ended up being backordered

yeah same thing happened to me and then i ran out of money so was kinda perfect.



as for the spacers, the nuts on the spacers are 17mm or w/e US equivalent is close to it. I wouldnt torque em any higher than 70 foot pounds. Also clear the hub before putting the rings on with something like this

and apply anti seize

then re-torque after about 100-300 miles

Can you go into a little more detail man?

What do you mean by 'clear' the hubs? Sand them down smooth? What do you have on that drill?

What am I looking at in this picture? I've never really messed with wheels before. This car is the first car I've ever worked on besides oil changes!

Do this so the little ring that is included with the spacer will sit completely flush?

it does somewhat but being that small in size not much. IF someone was to make an underbrace for you guys it definately would NOT fit with that exhaust....

Dude, I don't know what's up with that. The Descendant is supposed to be a rather mild exhaust compared to the others. That never happes with my setup, even at WOT.

Mine will vibrate a little bit. I think it has to do with the TS hangers. It doesn't bother me though. I got used to that sort of thing after I had 2 Kicker Comp 15's in the back of my Blazer.

Wonder if it'll fit Tsudo I haven't been under there in awhile, but I don't remember having clearance issues.

Once we have our CUSCO strut bars up there, would an underbrace even really add much?

I don't know why I just thought of this, but instead of removing the bracket for the exhaust (if mine rattles) I will probably try some exhaust wrap for headers and such.

Sorry for this being unrelated but I am just so amazed by this that I can’t stop thinking about it. Sooooo:

-I lost my iPod touch 10 months ago at UNH(University of New Hampshire)
-A girl e-mailed me a week ago and told me that an iPod that her sister found had my e-mail in it.
-She asked me what the name of the iPod was to verify that it’s mine.
-I told her it was most likely “Russian Kid’s iPod”
-She asked me for my address so she can ship it to me
-I just received the iPod with this note:


Name:  RUSSIANKID.jpg
Views: 67
Size:  176.0 KB



So here is what happened:

-I lost my iPod and somebody founded it

-That somebody lost it as well 2 weeks ago
-A girl that lived in that apartment at UNH found it and SHIPPED it to her sister in Colorado!
-The Colorado girl e-mails me about it and SHIPS it to me to New Hampshire!

How is this possible????????????????
