I'm beginning to think it's the micro switch not telling the switch the spoiler is down.
Yup the lower micro switch popped out of its socket.

Good lord that looks good! Think I need spacers now! What are people using? Is the 8mm and 18 a pretty standard thing?

7-10 and 15 are standard. You can go 15 all around.

My car is slammed right down, just as it came from the previous owner. I plan on going 15mm all around, and I suppose I can adjust the H&R coils (or get rid of/adjust?) the Tarett drop links.

I've been working on building a new exhaust on my car, but between my job being super busy and having a 4 year old and a 3 month old I have had zero time to make any progress on it. A Markski 3" exhaust popped up on Craigslist yesterday and I was able to score it for a good deal. Hopefully it drones less than the straight pipes.

I'm surprised you don't have the 4 year old pulling wrenches yet...

The three month old I suspect, with those tiny little hands, would be good for retrieving little things that get lost in the crevices.

The older one does like to "help" me in the garage.


The little one just discovered his hands the other day so he's not very helpful yet.

That is awesome; start them on the hobby young, and it will stay with them for their lifetimes. Bravo.

I received my "decoded" VIN analysis from SunCoast. I used to get these from Stuttcars, but that site appears to have undergone a drastic change recently, and the old information (and saved vehicles and details and so on) are no longer accessible.

Tire Code: WORSE

Very nice; I've driven in Puerto Rico, the roads are not the greatest...
