What did you do to your GS today?
#1351
Today I had to pop off my headlight socket covers again to let condensation out. It had rained last night (and I just washed it). Does this happen to anyone else?
I also popped the OEM HID bulb back in to see if it is the height adjustment that is off or the aftermarket bulb.

2nd, I know the difference, the issue is who really gives a ****. You are being overly dramatic about a small issue.
3rd, if the integrity of threads is so paramount, you would think you would PM people and chastise them that way.
Anyway, that is probably it for me on the THAT subject.
On topic, I put a pair of Fleebay (though a brand I have had good luck with) 5000k HID bulbs in.
STILL not even close to the bulbs in my running lights. I do not want to go with 6000k HIDs, so my search for 4000-5000k 942 LED bulbs continues.
The really strange thing is that the passenger side pattern has changed. Has anyone noticed this with non OEM HID bulbs?
Stock
Fleebay
LED Highs for flavor.

A couple weeks ago hit 100k!
Then earlier in the spring I decided to ditch the 19" rays and went back to stock wheels. They looked great but they just felt too big for the car. Idk if sluggish is the right word. But it feels alot smoother and overall better with the 17s. I have ls brakes so I got some spacers for a flush look. 25mm in the front and 35mm in the back. Pictures make the back look sunken in for some reason. Also getting new tires soon. They're 235/45/17 now but I'm thinking of getting 245/45/17 all around instead for a fatter look.
Sorry it's pretty dirty at the moment
Ok then I finally got around to wiring / mounting my radar detector. Wires all tucked away so kinda stealthy. It's a escort smart radar with the remote display.

Remote display
Detector to the right of mirror. Mounted just under the tinted area.
This plus waze will be a nice combo...
Also this weekend did the rear brakes. And I guess for a couple months now my brake pedal was progressively getting stickier and stickier. Even after I swapped for the ls brakes / bleeding the problem didn't go away. Searched around here and someone had the same issue, they swapped in a new actuator and it fixed it. Because I didn't have any odd noises from the actuator or abs lights I didn't suspect it at first. I found a decent deal on an aristo brake actuator on eBay and decided to get it. Well now they feel good, really good. Only complaint is I wish the pedal was firmer. I went through almost 3 quarts while bleeding with no signs of air pockets left. Maybe stainless lines will do the trick?
Anyway, I also bought a 20mm rear sway bar and lockers from northstyle that came in last week. I had ordered prothane bushings ahead of time. Put them in, kindof a pain in the ***. The bushing weren't right for the factory mount. I had to shave them down a bit. They fit ok but I'm not going to keep them in. Looking for different ones that fit the factory mount.
Here they are

But oh boy does the car feel awesome! Corners so much flatter and overall lighter around corners. My superpro caster and control arm bushings came on so I'll tackle those soon. I'm sure it'll handle even better afterwards.

Took the forums advice and did ball joints with my buddy from work. Took 10 hours. Was hell. Had to buy a new right tie rod. Good thing they had one in stock a moog to match the moog ball joints. Moogs are awesome, car feels amazing now after an alignment and had brakes plus shoot some grease in those ***** too lol.
