I was generalizing ther terminology. The specific term is roll center. My cars roll center is higher in relation to the center of gravity since I didn't replace all other suspension components. It's a very complicated topic, but look up "center of gravity vs roll center."

What's up!
Thanks, bro! She's going in for an alignment tomorrow. I added a little more negative camber to my front left, and I need them to correct the toe spec from that added change. Also, the roads I drive on suck, so I'm sure something has gone out of spec since the last time I took her in for an alignment. So OEM shoes are back on in the meantime (rather risk nicks to those than the WedsSports). |

Decided to add this carbon fiber strut bar so that the engine bay isn't too boring.
And yes, I know this does nothing for my car. lol. Last edited by Kaotic Lazagna; 12-03-2017 at 11:33 PM. |

How my work day started...this was the second time I got stuck...and then right after I got pulled out, I got stuck again. bah
Gravel is surrounding the exhaust pipe, touching the LSD, and pretty much everything else: The rear wheel was pretty much in the air since it was fully extended. |

In addition to installing the HU in Dory, I installed these Morimoto switchback LEDs in Snow White. Comparison pics. Passenger side is always the LEDs, and driver side is always OEM.

Here's a couple night shots of those switchbacks:
Great lumen output in parking light mode (anymore, and I think I'd get pulled over). However, turn signals are just not enough. I can't see them flashing on the ground from the cabin. Last edited by Kaotic Lazagna; 12-03-2017 at 11:36 PM. |

I don't like how they are flat and the piston is always dragging on the bottom of the cylinder. seems like it would cause more wear. I don't like how you have to perform 2 head jobs every 70,000 miles or so. I don't like the sound they make, and how they basically run like two 2cylinder engines in opposition. manly, I don't like the people whom drive Subaru. (in my area) they are so self riotous and pompous I could puke

The 86 doesn't sound like a "Subaru" since Subaru utilized an EL header. I actually want to replace it with an UEL header to get that boxer burble. In my area, it seems like EVO owners are what you described. lol. |

Swapped out the OEM rear turn signals with VLEDs HVA bulbs (I'll swap Dory's on my days off since I have to swap the flasher relay on her still)
I'm sure you guys can tell which is OEM and which is the VLEDs. lol Last edited by Kaotic Lazagna; 12-03-2017 at 11:37 PM. |
