Rain sucks

Post by jamal »

I had a little automotive project going on this week and I planned on finishing it today after work. All I need to do really is get the one balljoint out of the control arm and put the struts back on.

There was a little bit of light rain earlier today, so when a few drops fell I wasn't too worried. Then it started pouring all over myself and the tools. That was a fun 20 minutes moving all my tools under the overhang and drying them off. Looks like I'm finishing things tomorrow.

I got a few new parts and made some pretty interesting modifications that I will be sure to post about in the suspension forum when I'm done.

Here's a blurry teaser pic:

I think I'll start drinking now.

it puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again.

Not so much adjutable, but a few degrees more to make up for the STi struts. I think I'll go work on that pretty soon.

Vancouver is the city by the rain forest and since June there has been only 3 sets of a few cloudy days and within this only a couple of days of rain.

Almost got to the point where a change in climate designation seemed appropriate--now it is pissing down.

This feels more like it and with the this and the cooler temps the vf 34 and accompanying go fast items the acceleration is good-- and so is the wheel spin :D
