You know when the last time I've seen the sun rise was? Of course you don't, that would be creepy...
Last time I went to a 'day' autocross
(last autocross was a night event, totally awesome 
)

Finally got the Illuminas installed in the back .. after soaking them with PB blaster overnight the bolts came right out. I love that stuff 
I'm really happy with the struts too. They raised the car's stance in the rear a little bit which I actually wanted to happen anyway .. it was too low before .. and also improved ride comfort drastically!! It's still kinda bouncy since it's lowered but the suspension's not as stiff, so I don't feel the bumps like I used to. Definitely a big plus!!
Handling is also much more refined now, as I used to have some pretty bad understeer with the stock struts in the back .. but it hugs the road like a champ now. I have the rear set at '4' and the fronts at '3' .. I still gotta figure out the best setup.

That's all my A/C is good for. I really need to get around to buying new fans so I can have proper radiator cooling and A/C again (if I ever choose to use it).
what's your obsession with pulling!? Stop saying pulling or you're getting smacked by the pimp had. I've got to keep it strong.
No, there's no pulling. You loosen or tighten a bolt. Loosening it (I THINK) will loosen the tension on the belt. Tighten it, and you get more tension on the belt.

Yeah, I'm distracted from the forum (with work and such
) for two days and look what happens :P
