What are those long thin rods for?

For those of us that drive sedans with the reclining rear seats the extenders aren't necessary. Pull the seat backs forward and the adjustment ***** are right there. I can adjust both of my rear coils in under a minute.

Nakamoto drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic, Timken wheel bearings -all four corners- , found the correct gasket for the invidia Gemini dual exhaust at Advance Auto (it meant going through literally ALL they had in stock to find them, but worth it. The metal gaskets that came with the kit were, in my opinion, a scoche too big. ) only 3.50 per.
Best weekend of "tooling" I've had in a while.

took off my utr g3 spoiler. anyone know how to get off the adhesive that was used? it looks like a liquid rubber of some sort. i used a heat gun to take off the spoiler itself but not sure how to get the globs off. not sure why the body shop installed it with this

the adhesive itself is strong and pliable at the same time

Finally something to update! Today I finished my suspension. Eibach Prokits, kyb exel-g, Kinetic front uca's and rear lca's, Eibach sway bars, new end links, and tie rods. I also installed Mishimoto coolant expansion tank, but won't have a pic until I install the power steering tank. Headlights and Inven bumper and relatively fresh install as well.

goof off, it's like a graffiti remover that doesn't damage the paint. You can get it at pepboys or autozone

3M adhesive remover should do the trick. I used it when removing the residue when I replaced my splash guards. Didn't harm the paint or clear coat.
