Moog end links were the death of me! I'll be going OEM next time. I now understand why some guys just keep OEM and replace them more frequently.

100% agree. Oem only for me for the fronts at least. Rear links, I don't mind the moog
 
What is the big hubbub about these moog front endlinks?

I'd keep oem rears, aftermarket are not really worth the cost or benefit.

For some reason the moogs that are on my gen2 are fine. But the zerk fitting rub the inner wall on my gen1. I found a pair of socket set screws to replace them tho. They are 1/4-28 x 1/4”. Couldnt find anything shorter at Ace.
 
Get some vice grips and remove that zerk fitting, find some small rubber plug for it and leave the fitting off until you need to grease them later on. Done deal.
 
A little update,

Drove it to work about a week and a half ago and found there was a fuel leak and coolant leak. I had to borrow baking soda, a jug of water and my co-worker let me borrow a fire extinguisher from work to take home lol.

Initially I thought the fuel leak was because of the o-rings at banjo fitting at the fuel rail but came to find out it was from the fuel pressure sensor not tightened down. #Kiwifail. Thankfully i could reach it from under the car without having to take the IM off. That would suck to take the JMF off...

Coolant leak was at one of the hoses that goes from the coolant reservoir to the water housing.

Did a short pull yesterday and saw I was boosting 25 PSI. popped the hood and had to write a note to myself: CLAMP THE DAMN EWG LINE! lol

so far the car's been driven and in the process of break in for 117 miles approximately. Changed my oil at 50 miles, and will do another one at 150 miles. It pulls and drives nicely as far as I can tell. Can't wait for break in to be done and then tune for some powahhh!!

I'm not saying I can see the future, but look back to my June 16th post... Glad you didn't burst into flames.

Kiwi stop breaking your car
 
Good day yesterday. Fixed my coolant leak and got on the dyno and sent it!

Justin doing his magic and ended up with 371/360 on 20 psi and, if I heard right, 9* of timing. Solid number just on 93 gas.

I think I just found my future wife. This girl I’ve been hanging out with helped me work on the car before I went to Freektune shop and took this pic.
