So, I developed a crack in the HPFP hardline that thankfully didn’t strand me. I ordered the line offered by Corksport as well as their HPFP rebuild kit since I’m taking everything apart. I also picked up a fuel feed line from SP Tuning. What I can’t find is an upgraded fuel return line. I don’t...

Infections suck. I ended up with an extra 3 knee surgeries due to infection and my incision still opens up a little every once in a while and it’s been a few years. Looks like a great project.

I burned them out when I installed the bushings from Damond.

I’m pushing 140k in my Speed. Still on the original clutch and have only done my light mods and routine maintenance. I still have a new control arms etc. with performance bushings that I haven’t put in yet. I go back and forth about replacing it, but it’s been so reliable I worry about getting...

My sbcglobal.net wasn’t working either. Of course, I think yahoo took those over from AT&T. Protonmail works.

I should have checked before I left. At least it was only one. The guy that pulled it in left and they didn’t have anyone else that drives a manual so I had to back it off lift. Guess I’ll be heading back tomorrow.

Got the new rubber today. Anyone see the problem? Cleaned it up a bit too.

I don’t have a big turbo and mine are breaking loose going into 2nd and 3rd due to balding tires. Thankfully, it stays pretty straight when it happens. A mew set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are being installed Friday. I wouldn’t buy the Pirelli P Zero again.

OK. I guess everyone that has ever experienced some level of torque steer must have something wrong with their vehicle. All of the aftermarket parts are also solutions in search of a problem.

Bone stock, there absolutely was torque steer. Damond trilogy later and it ceased to exist. The RMM was replaced first and it made a huge difference.

I haven’t done anything to my speed in a long time. Today I received and installed the Damond vacuum block. Exciting I know. Looks cleaner even with the janky bracket I made to hold it.

I put in a small Alpine amplifier under the seat next to the Bose amplifier. I used RCAs from my Pioneer head unit and cut the speaker wires from the Bose and patched them over to the amp. I did leave the crappy Bose subwoofer connected. I was going to do more, but keep fighting with myself...

I used a propane torch to burn the old one out of the cage and then popped the cage out before pressing the new one in.

For anyone that may have been waiting for a update. I’m in Arizona for two months working with the Border Patrol while my car sits in a airport parking garage. I plan on installing everything myself when I get back in July. Sure miss not having my car this summer.

A bit more progress. The last bushings are being saved for the shop that does the install unless I get a crazy idea in my head and decide to do it myself.

Hard parts have arrived. Pressing some of these bushings out might be tricky. Plan on giving it a shot on Friday.

Progress.

Friend of mine will get the bushings into the new arms with his press as needed except the trailing arms. The rest I’m going to take it to a shop to have everything put in. I have access to a lift and the necessary tools, but a shop that specializes in suspension seems like a good choice.

Spring is in the air and I just ordered $700 in bushings from Damond. Since I’m in the spending mood, is there any reason I shouldn’t order the new front lower control arms, rear trailing/track arms, etc. I’m thinking I can get the bushings into the new parts and then just swap all of the parts...

I’m planning to order all of the rear bushings from Damond shortly. My trailing arm bushings are shot and I figured since I’m going to pay someone to do the work they might as well do them all.
