What did you do to your NA today 2012?

[iRoadster]

Just stared at it a bunch today since I spent 10 hours detailing it yesterday. I need to get some fresh pictures now!

Washed & waxed it yesterday. Today I added 1/2 quart of Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase to top off the oil.....

Installed the last shock and spring I had left to do, put the wheel back on, installed the MOMO Champion back onto the car as well as the intake. Put it back on the ground for the first time since October. Had to jump start it, and now I have a weird idle issue, the idle keeps bouncing between 1200 and 150rpm, feels like it is going to stall. Let it warm up and took it for a drive to the gas station.

Any ideas on what could be causing the idle issue?

I put my ghetto rigged soft top back together! lets see how this duck-taped rain rail holds up. Bring it hurricane season!

Yesterday, I did some track driving, got a puncture, and managed to drive into a gate coming off track.

Replaced A/C Compressor. Which of course meant remove supercharger to get to PS pump. Remove fan to create clearance to remove PS Pump bolt. Remove PS Pump. Ahhh.... there is the A/C Compressor!

[fitftw]

I'd rather sweat than deal with that job. That's why I removed a/c and p/s lol it'll make TB/WP much easier. Know what else would make TB/WP easier? ITB's...I'm all about making things simple lol.

Finally got my bushings done and did a rough alignment to the best of my knowledge. It sucks lol, but the bushings are great Went to get an alignment done and got turned down from every alignment shop I went to due to ride height. damn.

I had the same problem up here when I was slammed. I eventually had to find a shop that had an in ground alignment rack that was completely "street level" as they called it. The place had a completely flat driveway and was flat all the way to the rack and it still dragged going onto the rack haha.

Back when I had my slammed Focus in LA I went to stokes in Santa Monica and had to do this every time:




In my opinion it's just a matter of finding a shop that will let you put down the 2x4's and drive it up yourself. At Stokes they had me sit in the driver's seat while we did my alignment too, how it should be done.

[Conundrum]

Damn lol none of the places even let me near the rack, everyone told me to find a pit rack/flat rack/ street level rack. I was like damn haha, just a matter of finding that one shop to do it like you said. Yup my last alignment I was in the drivers seat get this gives me a chance to make final height adjustments.

Try Firestone, that's where I went before Stokes. Lifetime alignment for the price of 3 and they would do custom specs and let me put the wood down in front of the rack every time too.

They turned me down too before I even walked into the building they told me "that wont get on the rack" lol, but I asked anyways. Went to a few local shops, Goodyear and Firestone. I think I'm going to have to get a local guy to do it and possibly corner balance it. We'll see I need to do smog this week to soo..yea lol.

My friend Greg was saying there was a goodyear up by his place that might be able to do it so I'll check that location too.
