Still only have a downpipe.
No dump tube.
Recently fried the tip of the dip stick off.
Currently burning alternator wires.
Bent my downpipe against my oil return line, and it's causing my to slowly leak oil.
Someone kicked in my front passenger fender and it's roughly $1000ish to replace (Toyota Dealer).
Painted my stock rims pink one night for the hell of it (don't ask)..and no I'm not a homo.
Picked up some f*&^ed up TYC tails for FREE.
Need to strip the tint (water damaged) and fix one row of LEDs..they don't light up.
Oh..and I upped my boost to 10lbs.

Sounds about right. Haha.

So after having these coils for about a year now i would have to say im very impressed with them. I drove my car all winter long and just last week i lowered the coils the rest of the way down without any trouble. Very surprise the threads didnt rust up at all. Over all very satisfied.

pardon me if i'm wrong, but the only way i could get that (if i'm thinking of the same thing you are) tight was to put the car back on the ground and tighten it. it kept the shaft from spinning. you ARE talking about the top nut of the strut right? i mean the one on top in the middle, pretty much under the wiper cowl
