    Are you kidding me, you think they'd really be asleep already at a quilting convention?!?! I bet they were up all night! Maybe they're some quilting party animals.

    Let's talk SS brake lines

    I've done two 2007s, an 08.5, my 09, and a 2010 all with no problems. Plus an 06 MS6. That's why I was so surprised so many people were having issues. My new 08 is a bit rustier than the others, so I'm with you and do think it could be a serious bitch.

    Let's talk SS brake lines

    I'm still amazed your cars all hate you so much...haha. Brake lines were a cinch on all the ones I've done. I'm sure I'll be paying for saying that when I get around to doing the lines on my newly acquired 08...

    Do you use any sort of wind filter? Or is that location good enough to keep the wind away. I had been planning on taping my mic there anyway, but the wind filters I got are too small.

    Just two 24 hour shifts this weekend and one 12 hour shift next week in my way...so, so close to freedom...

    Opinions please

    G Force. Grids are both ugly and overplayed IMO. G Forces actually look pretty good on a Speed.

    Coolant Alternatives?

    I don't blame you...like I said it was quite a while ago when I found that info, and I seem to remember it being buried somewhere deep that it was an option.

    Coolant Alternatives?

    I want to say that at one point I remember the Peak actually saying FL22 compliant on the bottle somewhere. Again, it was a few years ago though. To be honest it's almost gotten to the point where it's so confusing to figure out what auto manufacturers want used in the car that it's almost...

    Coolant Alternatives?

    As far as I know, Peak Global Lifetime Coolant is the only FL22 coolant alternative according to the ratings. That was from a few years ago though, I have no idea if other manufacturers have changed their formulas. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the owner's manual say that the FL22 from...

    This sounds awesome. It'll be a nice break for my wife too so she can enjoy the view between Dragon Slaying (which I know she won't like, probably at all haha). I'm hoping to get up early enough Thursday afternoon to get the car unloaded and take it up the Dragon a time or two before dinner...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Had to build some extended ramps in order to get the Speed onto the trailer without completely destroying the front bumper cover.

    Let's talk SS brake lines

    Man, it's crazy that you guys are running into so many problems. I've put lines on 4-5 Speeds now with no issues at all. I have found that PB Blaster and a decent set of flare wrenches is key though.

    Tool/Spare part checklist for ENM

    ^ I'll have a trailer for anyone who may need to visit said garage with a car that can't get there under its own power. Though hopefully that won't happen. For stock parts I don't have as much as I thought I had, but I'll bring my stock motor mounts and stuff like that just in case anyone...

    Tool/Spare part checklist for ENM

    I'll have a whole truck bed full of shit. Tools, jack, jackstands, etc. Possibly some spare parts as well.

    Let's talk SS brake lines

    StopTech over Technafit for sure. And yes, please get them from RockAuto for mad cheap. StopTech lines with centric blanks from RockAuto is best bang for the buck stock brake setup for sure. I've been using the StopTech street pads as well since they're available on RA for so cheap. Combined...

    Wheel Thread

    I'm not saying they're bad wheels Patrick, more so that they're ugly (IMHO) and have weird sizes hahaha. I have personally had two set of XXRs myself, though not on the Speed. That was before they started with the funky sizes in 1/4" and 3/4" sizes as opposed to standard sizing. Shit, one set...

    Ugh, please don't buy XXRs...there are sooooooooo many better looking wheels out there that look and perform better.

    Personally, the widest wheel I'd run with a 225/40/18 would be a 18x8. With that size wheel you'd have the option of moving up to a 235/40.

    ENM @ MDC 2

    Exactly why I bought a truck and trailer ;) It's an eight hour drive for me, though I will have my wife and dog to keep me company...which could be a good thing or bad thing I guess. The dog will be good for company, my wife (who will most likely sleep the whole drive) will have to be good for...
