once I get this done, I've got some accord stocks with new tires I'm gonna paint black and ride the wheels out.

In other words, prep work = sanding = sore my arms = :(

I'm going to literally fall apart lol

Where would I get a 3" Pipe?
Besides the old yakima bar's I had that I threw out like a moron.

However, I need to get those rims/wheels painted before I go or do anything!
Looked at my wheels, yea you can see metal mesh.. so... bummer.. more work ahead of me and no time to slow down.

Okay, so.. new found discovery, drivers side CV joint (the one that got smashed by the fork, the boot is torn and leaking oil). Where can I get a new boot/cover asap?

Is the oil grease like, thick and pasty almost? I'm assuming thats what it is, its on the boot and splattered a bit. The boot seems to be slightly pushed out of a little groove it maybe gets tighened to by the clamp on the rod.

I honestly don't know. I would guess it's more like an oil consistency and gunmmy

The cv boots are filled with oily thick-ish grease. not exactly runny liquid oil.
The boot is supposed to be secure with tiestraps on each end.

Could it be the boot is not damaged and just pushed over?? in which case you can repack some grease inside and simply tie it down again??(assuming the tiedown broke and the boot moved over.

Question for Type 2 peeps or peeps with damper controls, what do you usually set yours at for daily driving?
Just trying to get an idea, thanks! :)
