    GD Joey's mistress: MSI rear subframe & 04-06 STI lower control arms

    It seems nothing has happened the last month. I haven't even washed the car in two months. We got a crew chief, who has been more distracting than productive. The stuffed animal is probably a better driver than me. Today, I went to adjust the dampers, and I just started taking out the trim and...

    GD Joey's mistress: MSI rear subframe & 04-06 STI lower control arms

    I've always wanted to try a louder exhaust, but I didn't want to buy the same part twice. What's loud, cheap, and also lightweight? AMS turndown. It's hilariously loud, and the corner workers are now deaf. I probably lost a few brain cells myself. I couldn't bring myself to drive to work like...

    GD Joey's mistress: MSI rear subframe & 04-06 STI lower control arms

    My front passenger damper is some-what broken. It adjusts from full soft to ~10% stiff and randomly locks up. (Hmm, that explains the previous owner?s odd dampening settings...) I?m not sure if it needs a rebuild or an entirely new damper, but the damping is too soft for autox. Between that and...

    Nothing like traveling alone to a foreign place. I moved my flight up a day. Instead of arriving into Shanghai during Typhoon Muifa, I'll get there beforehand so I can expierence the carnage... Someone needs to go to my house and comfort the wifey. I guess it's a good time to say spherical...

    GD The BAD STI.... It has been a good run.

    Looking good, J Flem. Let me know if you have any turbo questions.

    I?m behind on updates as usual... The pit crew is on a two week hiatus. I?m in the UK this week, and I?ll be in China the next. The cars here are awesome. The average compact has quite the suspension, and my boss likes to use all of it since he's used to driving these kinds of roads. Even...

    GD Joey's mistress: MSI rear subframe & 04-06 STI lower control arms

    I have started. Or rather, I'm trying to as much as the woman allows. I'm not used to weaving in and out of cones so I'm slow in the turns, despite my suspension's limits. I missed The Shop about 2 weeks after I moved. Can't beat the tools, capabilities, and advice. It's not hard. My fasteners...

    How low is too low? Apparently 14" in the front. Take the lip, not the fender liner. With the house to myself this weekend, it's time to install some stuff and respond to all the journal comments.

    Missing at WOT

    Step 1: Be grateful when people take time out of their busy day to help you with your problem. Step 2: Buy new spark plugs, gap them, and install them. Step 3: Reset ECU and go for a test drive. You've been going WOT on a protune for 3 years with 30k on the spark plugs. My guess is that...

    Journal thread title

    We can leave it as "Joey's mistress." You can see that I titled the first post, but it doesn't copy to the thread's title. It's not a big deal. I appreciate the help though, JJ.

    Journal thread title

    I see that it was reset to "Joey's mistress." But, when I changed the title of the first post, it did nothing to change the thread title. Same issue as before, I guess. I don't mind if it stays at "Joey's mistress" forever.

    Journal thread title

    I changed the title of my first post within my journal, but the thread title won't change. It hasn't changed in probably 2-3 weeks despite multiple attempts.

    Yes, they are, but you still have stiction and that wear surface. There's also the argument about off-axis movement. More parts arrived. :roll: More suspension work.
