Hey Hello!
Nice lookin' rig!
Welcome to the forum!

Very BADASS!!!
 
Sweet Rims!!!!

I like it.  What color is it......the name of the color?...I can see.   Welcome.

Awesome truck!!

Looks great! You know you can't stop with mods at day 1, it's an ongoing thing. Saying you won't add mods is like Britney Spears saying she won't flip out again - not gonna happen!

Nice looking rig bud!!!

Nice H3!

Great rig, I like the monochromatic look, it works well with your color.  What rims are those? They look good.  How is the rear spoiler held on?  Do you have to drill to attatch it ?

Oh.....and welcome aboard.

DISCLAIMER: This is my Newby post, so I can ask stupid newby questions here...
 
So today I'm bored before I go to work this morning, and decide I can conquer the torsion bars before work.
 
I measured before at 21 1/2"
Cranked bars 2.5 times to 23"
Drove around block remeasured 22"
 
Does this sound right?
I'll remeasure tonight after the commute.

Like I'm gonna let MY thread die that easily...
 
So I added 1 more turn on the bars to 3.5
before I started 21.5"
now at 3.5 turns 22.5"
 
I'm sure the ALPHA is a little heavier in the front, so is this about right on turns?
 
I got 1" lift on the front now which is where I wanted to be...

This is starting to feel like I'm taliking to myself...
 
This morning I installed the mudflaps, moonroof visor, and DEBADGED.
 
The rear wing should be here tomorrow and I'll try to post a pic tomorrow afternoon...
