Yea, it usually does get pretty slow this time of year. I just pulled my rear shocks to be sent to be revalved. I ordered some 800/700lb-in springs to go with the revalved KW V3s. While pulling my front shocks I found my left front anti-roll bar end-link was pretty loose. I'm hoping that's what's been causing the car to handle a little off. I'll need to set the ride height again, corner balance and align before the first track day of 2013.

Who did you find to do the revalving? I remember you posted KW wouldn't do it.

I am giving my car a little bit of a refresh and getting some new hubs and bearings...do I need to change the knuckle too, or should that be ok? I saw your Wheel Bearing tutorial and noticed you reused the knuckle. The car has about 100K miles roughly right now.

typically the knuckle is ok to be reused, unless you have had damage or a reason for it to have gotten bent. it is the hub flange you have to watch out for. if your rear bearings are bad or you have had rear axle nut clunk issues, i would suggest getting new flanges to .

You guys are crazy to work on any projects when it's this cold. I'd much rather be inside doing something non productive but warm.

When it warms up a touch I'll be replacing bushings like crazy on my rx7. Bought a complete kit from powerflex. Will be picking up a press from harbor freight for that job.

I don't work on cars when it is this cold. I just buy new ones.

I am just a plain coffee sort of guy. It is a stripped down Abarth (ie no coffee maker).
