323's Build

Haha. E85 isn't always E85. I think gas stations aim for anywhere between 80-90%, but it varies when the seasons change. They sell testers for fairly cheap, $5 or so, where you fill up X amount water and Y amount fuel. The mixture separates and there are lines printed on the test tube to show the percentage of that batch of gas.

Interesting... Well I have a bit of time to learn, but it's going to happen. That'll be the last performance mods I do. Anything else will take way too much modification.

I did the calculations manually for the first time today to learn that the imid is a bit off with mpgs ever since I got the supercharger. This time it said 18.5, when I actually got 21, all city. Not as terrible as I thought.

Thought I would update you on the wire tapping for led bar signaling. Red signal to white LED bar and brown signal to black LED bar on passenger side. Would be corresponding wires on drivers side. Hope this helps if you still plan on connecting them to your signal lights

Already did, the problem wasn't the wiring but the type of bulb.
Thanks for updating though

Oh ya. My bad.

No it's no problem. I appreciate it. I'll switch out the bulbs one day

I still cant believe that the bulb controls that! Kinda cool tho

Yea I wish I would've known before I spent an hour trying different wiring and blowing fuses lol

For anyone that has knowledge on the topic, I'm going to change my suspension and I'm looking to see which will let me sit a little higher than I am now.
The Megan's are great, but the highest they go is still about 2.5" lower than stock and that's just a little too low for me and the city

Wow. TIL something.

I agree! You must be scraping a lot with a drop like that! You thinking about a 1.5 - 2" range for the future?

1.5" would be nice because I want 18" wheels, and I think that would work great. Just not sure which coils would give me that.

I'm very interested in the responses you will get because I'm looking at 18" rims with 1-2" drop in the spring

TIL?

Lots of work done today, nothing exciting though.
Greased my camber arms, tried to raise the back a little, put spring silencers on the back springs to stop them from rubbing when going over bumps or when I got people in the back.
I found out where the creaking in the back was coming from, it was the sway bar bushings. I'm going to grease them again and hopefully that'll do the trick.

I'm thinking buddy club coils would be what you want. I have them and when I had them set up first, my car was no lower than with sportlone springs. And there was a bunch of height I could have added. I think you could get a 1.5 drop with them.
