I need your help guys.
What's the traffic law for the following situation? See the attached image.
Some people keep on stopping at this intersection (circled in red). They stop (at the green circle) for minutes until there's a red light so they can cut across to the left lane.
There is no STOP sign or YIELD sign. There is also a solid white line for them to get their speed up to merge. There are also no oncoming cars because that lane starts there.
I can understand if they slowed down to check for pedestrians but I don't think they should be stopping there for the entire time. Sometimes up to 10 cars are behind them because they stop there.
Am I wrong for getting impatient with these drivers?

Anyone have ideas on how to relocate the rear bumper mounting tab (one that connects to qtr panel)
Had to raise it a lil bit and dialed some camber in but its still rubbing the tab.. and pushes my rear bumper out whenever i hit big dips
as it sits now

^ I didnt have to relocate my bumper tabs because the tire was actually rubbing against the metal. Maybe that could also be the factor? But at first I trimmed around the tab (where the bolt goes into), so it doesnt stick out so much either.
That all seemed to help, mine rubbed when i accelerated.
___________
See if trimming around the bolt helps? If you know forsure it is the tab thats rubbing your gonna have to relocate it.
What most people do is cut the tab off and make another hole farther back, where the bolt/pin would go into.

trimming would be your best bet
if you need to get a little more extreme than pb blaster then spray a shit ton of pb blaster and let it sit for a good 15-30 minutes so it has time to penetrate and add more every 5 minutes or so... then use a heat gun a carefully heat up the ring on all sides, try not to heat up the shock body itself too much otherwise the heat method is useless. you need to direct the heat to the collar only so it expands JUUUUUST a tiny bit and then go at it with the screwdriver and hammer again.
i had to use this exact method when my coilover collar seized 2 days before wekfest last year. and once it's free, get a toothbrush and clean the hell out of all the threads reallllllllly well.

Hey all, my brother and I went to the SF International Auto Show on Tuesday.
We got there at 4PM and there was no one there!! We took a few pics, and I
thought I would share them with you. If you have any questions about any of
the cars, just ask.

hey guys..so got some relatively bad news today from the technician..my shocks are in need of replacement and so he's suggesting new shocks or new coilovers. I drive a 97 2.2CL and I've been riding on k-sport coilovers (originally on Klepto's CL) and i guess it's about time that they give out given I put some good mileage on them.
Anybody with knowledge of the 1st gen CL's know of any good shock replacements or coilover setups? not trying to spend too much as the car is old and getting up there in mileage, but i'd still like to rock a lowered ride since i take good care of her and she'll last me a couple more years hopefully. I've been looking into Tein's, just not sure which setup to go with since they have different ones. I could always go back to k-sports/d2's. And i've heard bad things about form n function.
any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
