Started drilling out the top plates for the front struts to the adjustments are available when mounted. I need a better hole saw. I picked up a bi metal from HD but after 30 minutes its not going well. I'll see if there's a better option in the 3andwhatever" required. The end of this is near...

Only a little bit tonight, I be tired. Struts off but I'm probably gonna have to put the passenger side back on - the wheel hub is stuck. Figured I could lay it out and bang on it better than in the wheel well....nope. The assembly is spread pretty good so its just kinda siezed up - have some...

I don't think I've missed much to note that has been done up to this point. Was having some major vibrations in the cabin - to the point AM radio voices actually jittered. So I replaced both lower control arms, tie rod ends and any bushings on the front suspension. Eliminated most vibrations...

Not a hit but you'll see (Sorry shitty camera with shitty sound and picture) Surprise motherfuckers, I don't need no undercarriage! Dumb Bitch #1 (Better video but no audio...for err...legal reasons.) ...You know looking back at these videos its really easy for me to say "Well no shit I...

Did a valve cleaning finally due to misfires and CELs (P0300), shortly after. Yea it was nasty, according to my records I was at 85K miles. Broke the nipples on the stock TIP, ya know that shitty one with the tiny rubber hose. Perfect excuse to buy a new one! I didn't do too much with...

...and I continue. Weird random things with transmission related items that should have been a warning but - I work too hard for too little money still. Slave cylinder took a shit on me, so I ordered a new one and replaced it. About a month after that the hard line clutch pipe nipple broke...

Fast forward a few years. No changes to car. New tires as needed, oil changes, wiper blades etc. Moron dings in the parking lot and my binging the curb a number of times. June of 2016 was raining horribly here in Dallas. Took an exit of 35E in the medical district. Hidden in a puddle was...

While I've kept track of everything I've done and usually took pictures but I never catalogued or documented it anywhere. And here almost 10 years of ownership I might as well compile everything here as I am finally to a point where I'm able to do the "fun stuff". I'm no mechanic, I work on...

You've done the "bunny hop" with the plugs and boots and kept track? ie: plug from 4 goes into cylinder 2, boot goes on cylinder 3 and make sure the problem stays on cylinder 4?

Maybe I misread your original post. I've not pulled with the engine connected so I can't offer anything there. I do remember even separated it was a lot of minute adjustments, using a motorcycle lift to drop the thing down. Over an touch, down a half inch etc - but now a inch back. It was a...

I'm trying to remember how I did mine. I don't think I removed the subframe completely. I know I loosened most everything and held it out of the way with straps (ie- pulled towards the rear). I was able to separate and drop on my own - re-install took more than my skinny ass.
