Welded a hole in my catalytic converter, replaced driver side mirror, then attempted to adjust my BC Racing Coilovers a bit higher because the streets in New Orleans and surrounding areas are totally ****ed. To discover they already took a toll; called BC Racing and had to over night a new spring perch and stiffer/taller springs. Finally my car is safer sitting a bit higher...I cannot wait to return back to California or Arizona. Two more years in this shit hole.
How much did BC charge you for the new springs? I havent put mine on yet but I wanna get really low and think I might actually need shorter springs and was wondering how I would go about this and cost.

I got some new insurance, Mercury, thanks to RealAle420. Also reapplied a Racingline Decal on my upper windshield next to the Bluebatmobile Overlays Decal. Looked around for an OEM Leather interior, decent price $480.
I Cried all the way to work after paying $4.15/gal this morning for premium.
Damn you 3.5SE!!!! Why is there no fix for the 07' 3.5's to run lower octane??!?!! I keel you!!!
You can run regular in the 3.5, many people here do, the ECU will adjust timing accordingly to avoid knocking. For me the difference of $4 everytime I fill up isn't a big deal. Plus $4.15 for premium? Thats cheap! I filled mine up last week at $4.59 for 93.
I'm trying to figure out how much gear oil i need for my tranny. about to order some redline MT-90. anyone know the amount the 6spd takes?

i wouldn't either, but if someone is that concerned about it, they can easily run a lower octane. I like having close to 270 to the wheels whenever I need it.

Well 87 here in GA is about $3.87 right now, with 93 running 4.25 or 4.15 with 10 cents of at Kroger. LOL~

I've always gotten considerably worse mileage from Kroger gas. No matter if it's 87 in my Altima or 93 in my old A4 it was noticeably less than QuikTrip.
