Derbo's ZHP

[derbo]

I reinstalled 10.9.2 and used Migration Assistant to transfer from a clone HDD backup I made. Hopefully this will work. If it doesn't I will do a full clean install and see if it works. If it doesn't I will just go back to my full clone and call it a day.

No luck on the PA Soft dilemma. It works half the time...and reads the IKE sometimes and reads the LCM other times. Of course the MBA and the XP Dell works perfectly. I may have a faulty USB2.0? I'm not sure.

Anyways, I like to get my height to this! I need to order new swift springs to raise the rear a bit.

You don't have adjustable suspension? I remember your car looking mean, but I'll go back through the thread. That picture has me wanting a SGT front lip or splitters.

I swapped my ground control springs for swift springs. My original springs was 6" F and 7" rear. I went to a 6" all around but that made the rear a lot lower than I expected. I raised the perch as high as I could safely but it's still too low in the rear.

I know its been a very long time since you mounted the Apex wheels, but for some reason I just noticed them in your sig. I went back through your entire build thread until I found them. They look so bad ass. Definitely my favorite wheel as of now, the color choice is best too. Your car is looking awesome. Keep it up.

Thanks man! I think I made a great color choice too! Best part is brake dust doesn't look as bad on this color.



New springs!

Did you just get new rear springs? I know you wanted to adjust the rear.

Also, on the APEX wheels you have, what is the name of the color? I am wanting to do something around that color... maybe a little lighter.

I bought a 7" spring to replace the 6" I have.

The arc8 color is called anthracite. I think it's perfect as it's brake dust color

Matt, iirc the next color would be hyper-black (which I have for my ///M). I like anthracite or hyper-black because when the wheels get dirty from brake dust they still look okay....with anthracite, even more so

Minor Update:


Rear Swift Springs Install:
Sunday I decided to tackle replacing my short 6" springs in the rear with a 7" spring. The spring perch was at it's maximum highest height and I felt it was still too low in the rear. The only real solution was to replace the spring with a taller version to allow more adjustment. I removed the springs and saw how much the 6" spring settled! It was standing at a 5.5" spring. No wonder I had no more adjustment! The original spring that was included with the Ground controls were Eibach 6.5" spring. Since Swift does not produce half increment springs, I thought it would've been a great idea to get 4 6" springs. I should've gotten a 7" in the rear in the first place!

After 4-5 jackups to get the height to about 23" from bottom of fender to the bottom of the rim, I felt I had to raise the front to match. I have to say, it looks stock to me but I will be okay with this for now as I know I have more clearance when the suspension is fully loaded. The previous setup was 22.4" in the front, 22" in the rear.

AFE Intake Reinstall:
It's been a few hundred miles on the stock intake and I do not have a CEL for too lean. Something between installing the AFE intake and driving it caused the CEL. I decided to reinstall the AFE intake and reset the adaptations since I did not do that last time. I tried doing it through INPA but I manage to get a CEL and a crazy rough idle. A brief talk to Kalim and resetting the adaptations from DIS instead of INPA resulted in a proper idling ZHP again. Thank you Kalim for the assist!

Rear Passenger Camber Bolt:
I also replaced one of the camber bolts in the rear suspension. The driver side is completely seized, and I cannot for the love of me, move the bolt. I left it as is. I will address it when I bring the car to Performance Technic to address a few more items at once.


On to the Pictures:










The picture suck I know.

On a sadder note, the driver seat seems to be getting worse. I may have to suck it up and buy a new skin for the driver seat.
