seems to be a recent trend or something. I gotta say every time I see your car in pictures I feel the need to start cleaning mine, its very clean sir! I am usually so tired after the working on the motor I don't have the energy for cleaning, maybe next time =)

Well, not today, but yesterday we drove the SC to Palomar Mountain Road here in San Diego. Never even knew that we had an observatory here, LOL. A couple weeks back I finally was able to adjust my suspension damper settings after buying an EDFC from another member. I also made a video with my GoPro, and might upload it tomorrow. It's for all the stance/VIP style/cambered guys who always get told that it's unsafe, and handling sucks, blah, blah, blah... LOL Here are a few pics, let me know what you guys think!

Hey man - That spongebob street art work looks familiar. Did you take these pics in North Park off El Cajon Blvd? I'm literally down there off El Cajon Blvd every other weekend visiting my GF lol

BTW Palomar mountain is a blast to drive! There's a few different routes up and down the mountain

Yessir it's at North Park. They're all over El Cajon Blvd.

And yeah, I really enjoyed the drive to the Observatory. Pushed the SC to the limits there. I must say, the Daizen sway bars, well tuned suspension and LSD made it all way too fun!

King,

Now that you have the EDFC you might want to make a couple of bracket to keep the controllers from moving around. Mine started twisting around and stretching the wiring. I just took some stainless plate and bent it to hold them.

Thanks Shane! I was wondering about that, cause when I was tightening the motor the whole shaft was twisting with it. I've been keeping an eye on it to see if I need to worry about it. So far it has stayed in the location, and I gave the wiring some slack just in case. But will surely do this mod as well for peace of mind.

Stretched tires, aggressive offset, slammage, negative offset - it's not just safe to drive. LOL

I took off the sound cause GoPro isn't so great with sounds. Does it make a difference?
