Gavin’s Eclipse part 42 “alignment & wheels with Falken tires”
In this video, we get the car on the trailer to head to the shop for an alignment then take the car 80 miles away to Garden Grove California to get the wheels and Falken Azenis tires put on. when we get back and get the car off the trailer we got a slew of parts delivered including a oil cooler from evil energy and 2 big 15lb nitrous oxide tanks.. also there is a lot of talking and showing off parts not a ton of work being done....

      The tires arnt stretched very much, the front tires are a little more than the rear 235/40 on the front 9.5” wheel 265/35 on the rear 10.5” wheel I went with the minimum size tires for the width of the rim because I was worried about the fitment when aired out the tires fit pretty good 👍🏻

    Comment for the almighty algorithm - So I have this buddy of mine, we've been friends for over 3 decades now and I've got a lot of memories from that time. Now I don't know why, but while watching this video I was reminded of the first time I ever went to his house. This guy, he's a bit of a smartass and when he was young wasn't the best about watching what he was saying. So anyway, first time he brings me to his house (we're about 14/15 or so I think) he decides to mouth off to his mom, which I'm also meeting for the first time. She gets a look on her face and my friend tries to run. He gets to the hallway before the force-of-nature that was his mom decides to fucking hockey check his dumbass right into the hallway closet. It was glorious! I think I laughed, I'm not sure. I didn't move, though, I didn't want to draw her attention onto me. Fuck that, I didn't want to be the next victim. She was an amazing woman, and over the years I definitely brought some of that doom upon myself as I was a bit of a smartass, but that didn't lessen the love I had for her.

      Not really I sprayed a coat ( learning the gun and how to adjust it) then went over it wet smoothed out a couple of runs the when I had the gun and speed to where I thought I was comfortable with it i sprayed coat 2 and 3 then went straight into the clear … there are some imperfections and a couple of drippy spots above the license plate but over all it look pretty good for my first time spraying base clear I’ve done a single stage once but this was by far the most work I’ve put into body and paint 🤙🏻
