Sorry about that. I try to not forget part numbers. That part number is correct, but you will still need to modify the bracket and the bushing on the driver side due to the offset of the axle. I saw that someone on youtube (Wannabe Tuners if I recall) was able to use the Whiteline bushings that...

FYI, I know it's been stated before. But, to get this level of clearance if you go the DSS rear axle route. You're going to need Prothane bushings and then shave it down on both the mount and the bushing. This is what it looks like before shaving it.

Things accomplished this weekend. Front: Crankshaft seal replaced. Shop used loctite on the crankshaft pulley (and I quote: we don't want any reason for that to back out) Passenger UCA - pressed out stock ball joint, pressed in SPC ball joint Pass fork - replace effed bolt with new one from...

Also. Redid my front wiring for the split to both starter and fuse box. Kinda rushed this but it works nicely I think. Now the split is in a waterproof junction box and now I have bussman breakers and heat shrink on everything. Made a bracket that I mounted to the OEM battery mount locations...

So many updates. Not enough time to fish on it atm. One: fuck slate performance. They suck. Two. Made it to Michigan to do the rear end refresh with the nator folk. Drained the diff. And found some broken friction tabs. Yay. Luckily we have spares available to us. So we took the one of the...

Alright that's sorted. Need a new bolt and for it to be torqued properly, but we should be good to go. I'm gonna fix the other leak myself when I get the car back (minimal leaking right at the oil pressure sending unit)

Shop quoted me $900 to replace the crankshaft seal but didn't mention anything about verifying timing after the replacement so now I have to have a discussion with them to give me detail on what all that actually entails. I'd really like my <100 mile built motor to not explode when it leaves...

Also my pilot bearing blew up. I'm guessing this happened when we initially installed it. I distinctly remember it requiring excessive persuasion to slot in.

Took my car to Slate Performance to get some work done to it (replacing the transmission and hunting down some oil leaks for me) Good news. They found the oil leaks. Bad news. Crankshaft seal is one of them. F. Good news. It looks more like a car when it has a hood on it. I ordered some fog...

When your headlight OEM common ground breaks, make a new one. It's tons of fun, I promise.

New shoes for old wheels:

Drove it on Saturday and put about 25 miles on it. Overall it felt really good, aside from the squealing and Fisher Price traction from the 7-year-old tires. I’m pretty sure I spun the passenger front twice, so I’ll double check that. I also ordered another rear carrier since the rear diff...

Tossed the battery on the trickle charger yesterday. Weather is finally getting warm enough, I'm gonna take her out of the garage this weekend before it starts raining to stretch her legs and upload the most recent tune from Damond. Updates: Bought 2 Alcantara MS3 seats to replace the trashy...

Ignore me. I didn't read the whole thread because I'm lazy. Things are looking good, my dude. Good job so far! I'm taking mine out of the garage this weekend to dust off the cobwebs.

Paint is at the very end of the very long list of things left to do. Also, I'll probably just vinyl wrap the roof black.
