Had some time on my hands today so did a few small things....

First....Energy Suspension front sway bar poly bushings....Fro $25 and 30minutes to install, the difference is actually more noticeable in stiffening up the front end lean and steering response than with a FSTB...

some EXCITING pics! (new ones on the left, OEM rubber bushing on the right)




Also re-did (once again) the front engine valance thingy that I keep messing with...still not perfect, but getting closer to what I'm looking for. Had to make a new one that "fit" with the AE engine cover. Ok....I was just bored and looking for something to do, in truth.



Frankencar B-pipe will probably go on Sunday

 

i dont understand it...i thought your wife told you the house before the car....im jealous.. haha, just kidding with you...nice work, and i cant wait to hear the results of the b-pipe

 

I might be intersted in doing those bushings. Where did you get them?

And like maxilvr06 said, what about the house? Have you done any mods to the house yet? Gotta keep the wife happy, you know.....

 

You can get the bushings from Cattman....look in the group deal section.....I think they were $26 shipped.

Yeah, my wife just got a vacation (me too, of course) to St. Maarten for a week earlier this month, so she's plenty happy at the moment

 

You're avoiding my question.....any house mods???



I'm betting no.......hehehe

 

I cleaned up my basement workshop, organized my tools, put up a cabinet in the laundry room, and cleaned the basement bathroom (opens intomy workshop, so it has 2" of sawdust in it)......plus put down mulch in the front yard "garden"....

Also spent our entire tax return (and then some) on couch/loveseat/big chair set from Pottery Barn that my wife has been eying for 6 months.... and finally got rid of the last of my "college-era" furniture

...you happy now?

 

Dayaam, you DID do some house mods.....

 

although I really like the new furniture, I have to wince when I realize that the pieces combined cost more than all of my maxima mods combined (including my 2 sets of wheels and tires!)....I coulda had a fully set-up turbo!!!

 

you're gonna like the b pipe

 

Well, let your wife know right now that next year's tax refund will be for the Max.........

That b-pipe should be great......

 

I gotta respect a guy who would pick a turbo system over living room furniture.

Like Bluesbrekr said, tell her next years refund is spoken for...
Gears

 

you must not be married.....it had nothing to do with what I picked....

 

Since your wife likes Pottery Barn furniture: They have a huge rectangular leather ottoman available, about the size of an office desk. My wife likes to buy furniture, and came home one day having crammed this behemoth in her car. It's one of my favorite pieces - very conducive to crashing on the couch in front of the tube. Sweet!

 

you gays need to stop talking about furniture

 

Hey irish i went and checked out your cardomain site..first off i LOVE the car man its sicker then hell. I have a lil segustion that maybe youll keep in mind and maybe do. I see you lweft all the stock airbox components on the car. I took mine off and boy what a difference in the look in the engine compartment. its soo much more open. The box isnt doin anything in there so you should take it out. Just figured id throw my two cents. Good luck dude and NICE RIDE.

 

Give in to your feminine side big boy, the chicks dig that...

 

LOL...furniture.

Irish, how much for the B-pipe?

 

I think you need to take a better look at the pic. That is a custom piece he built.

 

No pics of your furniture MODs? Do you have a write-up?










I am just giving you a hard time irish.

 

And you need to drop that 4x4...

 

not nice....i've had mine since sept. and it's STILL not dropped!

 

it will be dropped as soon as you give me your struts (next wednesday )

 

i like what you did to your car good job

 

stock air box has been off for a long time, as has the air scoop....you must have looked at an old, old pic!

as posted above, here's a new pic:

 

Josh, did you purchase your F/C b pipe via a GD, used in the classifieds or just from F/C?

 

I bought it about a year and a half ago...dont' really recall, but pretty sure I just ordered it direct from FC.

 

And you're just putting it on now?
