ZHPizza's red car

At least those spring compressors are more substantial than the even more cut-rate Chinese ones I first had.

Glad to hear you're liking the FSDs

Nah trunk was probably replaced after it was rear ended. I can't find a number anywhere.

you heard about my incident earlier this year, right? about 2.5 weeks before you and spenser were here.


anyway. yeah. i'm DONE with those things. i bought a new spring compressor that i'm still not-so-anxious to try out, but it should be a lot safer. will be using it soon.

This was exactly what he and I said. Luckily no one has become a cyclops yet! I'm probably just going to heed Nate's advice and take them to a shop, pay them $30 or whatever, and have them preload. My face isn't as pretty as his, so I definitely can't afford to get hit with a flying spring.

You know, I still have my lacrosse helmet. Part of me hates to miss out on such an enthralling rite of passage.

Finally making some progress on the red car! Got distracted by some other stuff the past few weeks (travelling, getting engaged, buying a wagon, etc). Bunch of bullshit really.

So while I've got the interior torn out of this thing, I figured it was a good time to show off my custom purple rear deck and green Alcantara rear headrests, the results of 10 years of hard work by Florida $un Customz.
