Tech Session for Shock Absorbers

[Walsted]

I've got a tire machine and I can show you how to plug or patch a tire if you would like. It's really quite easy.

Learning how to plug would be great. Thanks.

Thanks to the guys at Pro Tuning Performance for hosting the tech day yesterday! It was well worth the drive from the other side of the metromess to attend. Snowdoggie now has a new set of Bilstein HD's installed on his car.

You drove all the way from Rowlett? Man, what some people will do for free pizza!

Thanks Forrest, for hosting this tech day.

[mikeytx]

Yeah, it was great meeting a great grup of guys.

Has anyone heard how Snowdoggie likes the new shocks?

[mikeytx]

Nada. How's the plugged tire holding up ?

It's still holding. If I'd have known years ago that it was that easy , I could have saved myself a lot of trips to tire dealers.

By the way, I replaced the leaky right rear rear caliper today. It was replaced under warranty from o'Reilly's, no cost to me, and the car isn't leaving trails of brake fluid any longer. The O'Reillys on Matlock had the part and did a no-hassle replacement.

The Bilsteins work great. Kind of like getting a new car.

Thanks guys.

How will you find your way home without a trail to follow ?

How will you find your way home without a trail to follow ?

That won't be the problem. The problem will be knowing when to stop. Recently, when backing into my driveway, I know to look in the passenger mirror and stop when the tire reaches the brake fluid stain. Since the stain will fade (especially after washing,) I'll have to pay attention to my driving, or end up putting a dent in my garage door.

I was going to suggest a tennis ball from the rafters till I realised you were outside the garage.
