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.

At some point this year (spring time, preferably) gonna run up to Michigan, hijack the NATOR group for a day or two, and knock out the rear subframe, rear brakes, rear suspension (new rear SPC UCA, trailing arms, Siberian Bushing the rear LCAs, new Godspeed Toe Links, RSB, Aluminum bushings for...

Yeah right now it's sitting in the garage until the weather gets to an agreeable temp. I don't plan on driving it on Indiana roads until the salt is gone and I need to undercoat it.

I had a spare to sacrifice to the drilling test gods, I used a drill bit to punch a few holes in the spots and will file it out. Still tedious work, lol.

Starting to look like a car again! Clunky noises were caused by upper and lower control arms not being torqued down. Mounts were fine (old paint marks). Cleaned up the old tick marks, made new ones, torqued down control arms, re-ran some wiring, fixed a grounding issue for the lights, all the...

Alright, after discussing with my tuner, we decided to move the dyno date until I get a couple hundred miles on the block. (Haven't driven it a whole lot due to random issues popping up and general procrastination). So update time. Installed the exhaust. Amazing how life is much better without...

Yep rebanding works super easy. Also got my gauges installed. Also looks like I might be leaking oil from the timing cover at the bottom. So that sucks. It's super minor but it's definitely there. I'll probably have damond take a look when I go up there this month.

I'll add it to the list of to-dos for this weekend and see if I get ANY of it accomplished. Dyno day is scheduled for Oct 18th, so I guess I can just use the impending doom of an upcoming deadline to motivate me.

Didn't realize you could put those on, it's a DTA axle and it had that spring where it belonged when I put it on the car. Car's gone less than 9 miles with that axle.

Oh you mean this?

Sad day.

Alright, another day another update. New DTA Axle lasted exactly 9 miles. Blew out the boot, so I'll be replacing that this week. Hunting down an oil leak on the back passenger side of the car. Relocated the catch can on the driver side and shifted the catch can on the passenger side so they...

Bro. You ever sit back and actually read what you wrote and maybe say.... "Damn I can't even read this shit, how could anyone else?" Don't be a douche. Roll back all the things you did. The car worked before your infotainment display went blank, then you started unplugging things. Now things...

Hell yeah dude. Side note. I took a look at the car yesterday and saw some fluid on the ground under the passenger side catch can hoses and to the left and right of the transmission leak. Looks like it might come from the clutch slave on the left, the catch can on the right (driver side) or the...
