Matts96HB's EJ6 Build

[Matts96HB]

how do you guys like those tires? I have heard they are some of the best on the market. Kinda like the goodyear eagle f1's.

I love em, that was one of the reasons why I kept the set of wheels. They stick awesome in dry conditions and they still do fairly well in wet conditions as well.

Yes, please do tell.

I just had to replace my awesome uniroyal rainsports, and I got General Exclaims, and they aren't worth much. Now I'm looking for tires to put on the Z.


Nice looking bro. So, it was the grounds..... heh. I'll bow out now.

It was a combination of the grounds and a crappy battery, but yes, you were correct.

I think the problem with the grounds was paint in the threads

Dunno if I'll see any parts today, nothing on the doorstep when I walked in a minute ago

 

[Matts96HB]

So the manifold is supposed to be here either today or tomorrow.. and it better be today damnit.

Im going to get the last two fittings I need in a second, as well as a nut to make a bung for the oil pan fitting. Might also pick up some oil and antifreeze while im out today.

Edit: also adjusted the rear ride height last night, its too low now though. It does look good though.

I'm actually looking forward to having a choice of carriers in a few days.

I have never really had a problem with the shipper themselves. It was always the company I bought shit from messing it up.

 

[Matts96HB]

Yeah after what I heard yesterday it very well could be the company. I'm going to be making some calls today.
