TC first! Then the lift

I noticed after my first drive with the new shocks a 'clunking' which I kinda knew what it would be but I wanted to see what it would do. I don't know if the XK's have this problem. But some of the wheel well plastic gets awfully close to the shocks. Anyway, anytime I went down a dip, where the shocks have to respond quickly - The plastic would actually have noticeable contact with the coilovers. So I had to trim this down. I ran out of Daylight to tighty this one up, but I'll get to it tomorrow... Oh I will!

The Issue:
As you can clearly tell, plastic is too close. And yes, I can see that rubber boot slowly making it's way down the shock - I'll have to consult Sal with that one - because I'm not pulling that side shock off, lol. Was a PITA


Solution!
Dremmel Tool, extension cord, power inverter



A minor set back:
So I've removed the majority of what I need but have not actually removed the piece yet. Well I let my hand down briefly, and tap the disk on the tire and it snaps in half. I kinda laughed because stuff like this happens to me all the time.


But I was prepared!!!


Nearly done



As I said, I ran out of daylight, but I plan to tighten up the 'finish' so that it looks a little more professional.

I purchased the quick release system for my dremel look into it its pretty nice.

I vaguely remember your Dremmel tool - I'll have to check it out again when I come up there - hopefully SOON!

As Promised! Hypertech Max Energy

As you can tell Jon - There is a spot on this window... it's got Steel Armadillo all over it.


1 of my 3 expected toys arrived today. Got my Hypertech Max Energy Programmer. Took all but 30 mins to update the programmer with the provided disk. And then program the 3.7... This thing... will pay itself off by the end of spring, lmao! Pics below.



A feature it HAD to have for me was at LEAST this


Final updates


MPG test (I cleared the MPG calculater, drove around at about 45-55) not quite city, but not HWY speed either)
