  • The one thing to be careful with swaybars is that it can make the car oversteer/understeer especially in snow/rain. Oversteer in fwd cars is fun because you don’t want to let off the gas and transition the weight off the rear. I used to auto-x a dodge neon. I would pump up the rear tires so I could get the car to rotate, of course I had to stay on the gas through long sweepers or it would come around.


  • After driving a lowered car with stiffer springs for a long time I wound up just keeping my koni struts and putting stock springs back on. Still handled amazing and was a lot better to drive. You don’t realize how much the jostling and vibrations affect you, but I find that having a quiet and comfortable car is better for my well-being. I had a Volvo xc70 for awhile and it was the best of both worlds, unfortunately It was nothing but problems reliability wise.
















  • I was correct that it is a networking error
    cannot bind to local IPv4 socket: Cannot assign requested address

    current ifconfig says:
