Put on my tanabe comfort-r coils finally. Only took me 8 hours! Stupid japanese instructions where a bit hard to understand. Some in English, but roughly translated.
Lol. The problem is, I can't fit the jack under it now! Have to McGyver stuff together to raise the car. I also don't have a camber kit. Can't go too low just yet.
I wouldn't go lower but IMO that height is great. As far as getting a jack underneath, you can DIY some ramps, I use some similar to this but stacked 7/16" OSB with about 4" between the next board to give you a gentle ramp that won't hang up on your underside. This will get you high enough to get that jack underneath.
Cleaned my CAI filters. I went in through the wheel wells. Much easier than taking off the bumper. 10 nuts and 6 clips and there ya go.
I then re-assessed my rear tire rubbing scenario. When I had a full tank and three people in the car I rubbed on aggressive corners. Well another 3mm of fender liner is in the trash can and no more rubbing.
I had considered bumping my camber from -1.7* to -2.0*'ish, but cutting was the way to go for me. No camber gymnastics and the subsequent re-alignment.
Pulled out the passenger floor mat and drained a quart of water from it. Windows and sun roof cracked to allow water in the carpet to evaporate. Dang leak!
Installed M45 shifter.
I took my Dremel and cut a slit for the clip on both sides.
Please excuse the crappy DI-NOC covering of the ring, it's hard as hell!
Looks way better than the OE with my new Chinese wheel cover and 3M DI-NOC! Best $41 I spent on this car! Stoked!
Frost, thanks. I think I am done with the inside when I get the footwell lighting. I now get into any other G and the silver is blinding!
Kenny, thanks. Actually, I hate those ***** and will never get them.
Hats off on that CF job, and nice touch on the shifter trim
The thing I didn't like about my Carsmos was how smooth they were, I wanted a bit of traction, but they do feel substantial and have a quality look.
