offset CABs!!!

[ClassE]

FTW? From what I read I thought they'd be a nice upgrade.

[ClassE]

Ireland Enginering order placed - hoping to finally get some work done this weekend!!!

[andyhundley]

I am waiting on a catback from IE. They moved to a new building last week so they are playing catch up on orders. What did you order?

[ClassE]

Weld-in posi-lock camber and toe kits. Hoping they arrive by next Friday - hoping to bring rear trailing arms and coils in for welding next weekend!

[ClassE]

Just received confirmation wheels will be shipping to me mid next week (so likely arriving early/mid week the following!).

Holy crap am I gonna have a busy week!!!

[wasnt m3]

Getting closer! Excited to see this car come together!

[ClassE]

A moment of silence...

Does it at least have a vacuum cleaner?

No vacuum cleaner - but pretty everything else I wanted. It's a 2012 Town & Country Touring-L, black heated leather and steering wheel, power everything (sliding doors, tailgate, etc...), stow-and-go seating, (2) 9" flip-down TV's with a 7" touchscreen in dash, proximity keys, etc.... Not much it doesn't have.

Now that she got her car.... I can get to work on mine! Progress pics tonight!

I cannot wait to see=)

P.S- I demand that you bag the van before years end since I cannot find any VIP Town and Country builds.

How much did this set you back? I am looking for the same thing for my car.

[RamRod E28]

Now all classe needs is a kegerator and he can chauffeur us around the car shows on bags of course and I bought a brand new van as well

$400 ish from Condor - quality seems great. They should be in early next week - I'll report back once they're in!

My wife will likely tail me down to Scooters again - I'll pack the stow-n-go full of B...... Soda!

Last year we slept in the back of her Kia Sorrento, this year she's alittle too pregnant to sleep in a car/tent so we'll be heading home that night.

[ClassE]

Hover car.

What are the 2 wires for in the drivers side front wheel well? Ones a ABS/brake sensor? The other doesn't appear to lead anywhere - it's a 2 wire shielded line that looks looped at the end?

[jc43089]

The one that matches the passenger side is for ABS, the other should be for the brake pad wear sensor, there is only one per axle.

[ClassE]

I don't have a pickle fork to remove the ball joint and tie rod ends - any other way to get them out of the lower strut housing/hub?

Got everything disconnected and unbolted up front - just need to separate ends and pull front suspension! Tomorrow night will hopefully be dropping the rear subframe!
