Never said I was retired, I am retired from Motorsports, I still work part time, mainly for health insurance. But Yesterday was full of helping my son move, so that is a little tiring.

Cutting the springs makes for a bumpy ride. I personally would never do it especially where I live and drive in PA & NJ with all them potholes and such no way would I cut

With that said my original statement still stands though. a DIY spring cut will hurt the ride of the car.

And Ryan, where have you proven to own a car? any idiot can take pictures and post them online, that doesn't prove a thing.

As for you having all your work done by somebody else, anytime anyone has asked you a question about your car you always answer with "a guy did it for me" or something along those lines. It really doesn't take any knowledge or skill to pay someone to mod your car, that is why most people prefer to do it themselves.
Members of this site have seen my car in person and been to my house to have things installed. Prove where I've said that someone did the work for me.

Lose how? Yes I made an error and admitted to it, and the error didn't even change the statement I had made.

I don't do my own work because I paid the body shop who did my custom paint to weld in all the fender and antenna holes? That's how IT SUPPOSED TO BE DONE!!!

So what about the other ****-ton of mods that I've done myself or the write-ups I did on the main topic in this thread? Way to fail AGAIN.

So you can't do simple welding on a fender or antenna? Yea that is a sign of someone who knows what they are doing.

I don't expect you to paint the car yourself, but the bodywork should have been, and you haven't provided any evidence that your capable of doing any work yourself.

Probably one of the easiest things you can do is cut weight on the car, look for things that you never use that might be adding weight. If you have ***** and good tires, ditch the spare tire and the jack from the trunk. It will cut around 50-100lbs. Make sure that all of your tires are the same pressure, reroute the wires to clean up as well as preventing spark jump. Those are about all I can think of.

Hmmm, let's see weld it up myself, which I do on cracked manifolds all the time for people, or let them do it for FREE.

Because I let BODY PEOPLE do my paint and body work I automatically don't know what I'm doing? You make no sense at all.

You don't even know what kind of coolant to use but you're "retired from motorsports." Yeah, that sounds like someone that knows what they're doing.
