Thanks new member!!!
Love that word on cars...simple
clean too of course
Normally it's okey Austin but at some parking spots, you see the front tires...
asphalt is low, I forgot about that and the second I noticed it while parking, this was my face
haha
but didn't hit
it's 4x4 bish haha
I don't know man I like the height but if I was able to find one A-Spec susp. it would've been perfect to me

I think you'd be happy with it. 
I park like a foot away from curbs now. And my school has a super tight parking lot so pulling in and out is a pain in the ass. I can't leave the isle while someone is turning onto it, I take too wide of turns to not curb rash my wheels.

MEKO, just my opinion....
if I were doing it all over again, I would just do a drain and refill with Type F every 15K miles....this way you will always have new fluid in your tranny and you wont be throwing out any new fluid

well am not saying throw it away LOL
if i had to do it again, i would do it the way am telling you right now....but if you think 3x3 is a better option right now, go for it

I would've done that if didn't order the fluids but since I have all of them and did the first drain fill also, I don't know I think I'll stick with 3x3
also what I liked was, you guys said 3x3 is like 72% mixture or something
but 1x3 is around 33%
72% at one time sounds better instead for waiting for 15K and doing another 33% again
but you prob. thought of that you bish you know something and saying do 1X3 with F hahaha

Replaced the front bushings for swaay bar too.
and
did the second drain fill for ATF...much more noticable
cars is really feels much more planted but that sound still coming from front
it's like car is about to drop the engine and front...
upper ball joint

OK
I need the front engine mount and side one...the one under timing belt
Tried brake and gas at the same time method and front of the engine just jumps like crazy
^I am not sure and don't think it will solve the "luk luk" sound coming from the right side.
Is it strut bar? Not sure
Suspensions? I don't think so, ride is good
Upper ball joint? Might be
I am about to go crazy, I have no f.ing idea what is it. Dads friend will check the bearing or something.. tomorrow
Listen the video
at 0:14 all you hear is that sound, some loud some not
but from 0:33 to 0:36
you will deff. hear it
it comes from the right side and I think it's not exactly from where the tire is.
Like more closer to the floor mat side
Some more here too
after I left the pedal
front is going crazy after bumps
Any link for the strut bar?

damn what is that sound....seems like your mounts are BUSTED !!!
get under there and check the mounts....then buy the IM/XLR8 60A mounts.....also check the torque of the end links to the front sway bar....
you might wanna check your suspension bolts as well and your struts....damn







they said no problem
