New England B.S. Thread

At least he left the front wheels on solid ground.

 

The folding ladders were a good call.

 

Oh okaaaaaaay:




I know I know the rear shot is crap but wait until I'm finished and I'll post the full effect image, complete with bumps.

 

are you doing icon bumps? That is alot of preload what are your center of hub to bottom of fender flare measurements?

 

Ermahgerd! Me doing douchy things in my driveway!

 

oh me oh my that sure is purty.

C'MON B'S!!!!

 

I actually used top of tire to fender measurements. But anyway, Jeremey at Icon also mentioned a tip about the adjuster nut on these coilovers--he said 4 turns equals about 1/4" of lift adjustment (up/down). I went by direct measurement (stupid I know) and increased the threads above the nut by 1" (fucktard). Anyway I am going to back off some--welder blew me off again, but he did call to tell me his downstairs at home flooded so I guess I'll forgive him . And Yes I have the Icon hdro-air bumps WHICH I CAN'T PUT ON UNTIL MY WELDER CUTS OFF THE OLD BRACKETS!. I have about 8 inches between the tire and fender--d'oh! She still rides nice tho!

 

CT plates? Remind me to avoid this guy on the trail

 

4 FULL turns = 1/4"? Or...?

 

Thank ye sir--if you look close you can see the lonely (and unoccupied) S2 hoop in the 2nd pic. SDHQ called me Tuesday to tell me my lost shocks showed up back in AZ--nice right?!? They're gonna exam them and confirm they aren't damaged and send them back out to me. Think I'll have this shipment held at the UPS terminal this time and pick it up myself...

 

Correct 4 full rotations around the c/o body yields ~1/4" change (obviously that depends on weight of the vehicle)

 

Interesting! Can't wait to get some nice 2.5 MT's

 

Jesus! This season's finals is just riddled with OT

 

Me to i am very intrigued by the CDC, big bucks though.

 

How intensive are the electronics for that setup though?

It sounds amazing for adapting to your current conditions. Kinda like the caddys have the metal shavings in their suspension oil that are magnetized to stiffen up the ride when needed

 

Haha oh, now i see why you need the welder so bad haha. Those bumpstops are badass. I was wondering what the hub to fender measurments are because that will tell me how much lift you have, regardless of tire size. By your UCA angles it looks like you are easily at 3" of lift.

My basement is flooded at my house also. And my parents and i are headed to the cape tomorrow. And we are suposed to get ANOTHER 2" of rain. I will probably come home to a pond in the basement. Im moving all my shit down there for sure. I already pumped around 75 gallons out of there. With a shop vac and a little submersible pump

 

I dont think there are any electronics. I think it is just an adjustable valve that controls oil flow from the remote resis to the shock body, which adjusts dampening. I don't really know what im talking about. Knob turn make shock squishy.

 

Love those utility pumps. I took on some water my first year in my house and did the Shop Vac thing. Nearly broke my back and neck..my basement is tiny.

 

The problem with my pump is it only works if it is 1/2"+ of water. So i have two shop vacs running, when one is full i pop the top and drop the pump in with the hose attached and going outside. Basically i push the water around towards the shop vacs with a push broom and switch the pump back and forth from vac to vac. Lol, work smart not hard.

 

I actually was debating rigging up something so i could leave the pump in the shop vac while having the shopvac running. It would require drilling holes in the shopvac to run the hose and power out, then sealing the holes around the hose/cord. Really my step dad just needs to bite the bullet and pay someone to do curtain drains or french drains. Especially if he wants a finished basement someday. I told them i would do all the labor for free if they put a few 1000 into material for a shop area for me in the basement
