Got a "clicking" noise from the front right corner of the car while cruising the little one to school and back. I got Skiddy up on jackstands and did the old "wheel wiggle" test - she failed..

Looks like the EMUSA brand upper camber adjusters almost made it 6 months. almost. Ok, I wasn't shure what to expect out of them, but my expectations weren't high. stupid.
They were cheap add-ons to the coilover set, along with the rear camber adjusters (which are starting to slip on their bushings at the body side). stupid.

Stupid behind me, I spent some $$$ and got the skunk2 pro series camber kit on the way. Looks like this:

So, I'm going to have some colors going on under my Skiddy, Blue and now red as well! I'll have to see what I can find for the rear camber adjusters, and what color they will be!

-Also wanted to share a drawing my buddy OG VX made for me. It makes me want to take back all the things I said about no airdams, side skirts, and wings. The trick at that point is getting all the period correct, model specific goodies for Skiddy, NOT LAWN EDGING!! That means one thing and one thing only - $$$$. But look at this picture and tell me otherwise:

I think this is how Skiddy should look. OG, you hit the nail right on the head! ( I wish I could draw like this guy, my stick people are all deformed, even! ) So, more time will be needed to get stuff together to make this vision of Skiddy a reality...

Thanks,
Victor
