Installed some Teins to see if I could get more of a drop up front. It worked. I will post pics tomorrow, I am too tired!

 

Finally installed my front suspension. Car was almost smarter than me...almost.

 

Both of you...how does the suspension feel now?

 

Awesome timing Kevin!!

Eddie, car felt good last night on the quick drive I took. Not much stiffer than my eibachs. Need to do an alignment and I am set!


About as close as I will get to my fender. Tein with koni on the bottom perch. Had to do this since my engine bay is so empty!

 

your fenders are rolled I take it?

 

So...since I'm not afraid to make fun of myself...in hindsight I can say that I could probably do fronts and rears now by myself in < 2hrs.

The rears were easy.

The fronts...time to be a jack ( pun intended) ***. I pull everything off the fronts following Pure's instruction. This went well. Installing the "right side" shock was a little difficult but I eventually had it completely installed and bolted in. The "left side" was just not working. After about an hour of dicking around I discovered the "left side" actually had an R stamped into it that wasn't very noticeable. Upon checking the "right side" I discovered...your guessed it...a stamped L. Hooray!

So...unbolted everything and switched them out and bolted them in again...only to discover that on the Left Side (correct now) I had managed to move my brake line to the wrong side. So....unbolt everything again...move brake line...reinstall.

On the Right side...I couldn't get the brake line to clip in quite right. I'm border line suspicious that I may have to rotate the shock 180 degrees as despite the fact that it is facing the direction of all the other shocks that the brake line bracket should be on the other side.

Would be nice if I could find specific instructions for these to confirm or put my mind at ease!

 

LOL...just turn the wheel and make sure nothing impedes/pulls/tugs at the brake line. If it clears its good! Don't get stuck on making sure that goes on there....but it should...lol

 

Lol kevin

 

Ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! =)

 

lets check the doorsills today if possible. I need to order SS brake lines and get the rotors swapped out.

 

yea kevin lets meet up so i can get that ppf from you please

 

@Eddie - Text me a time.
@Mark - Tomorrow after 1?

 

sounds good to me, where should i meet you? is it already detached or should i grab some beefy sockets

 

We need to get 2 more bolts off I believe. I've got sockets but grab a couple if you have them.

 

No fender rolling, just old school offsets and slow turns in bumpy areas or inclined driveways. Speaking of driveways, I am surprised I can make it up at my house!

 

Looks good PITO13b....

BE CAREFULL.... i said the same thing and just this past weekend I had to fix a pulled fender cause I wasn't carefull enuff... Thank God for a heat gun and patience...

And you are on coilovers right? Yes, I have already pulled out a fender with my old setup so I really have to be careful with this one. If I have any problems the fender roller will be in the future!

 

If you decide to roll let me know. May be something we can split cost and do together. I have coilovers.

 

Yep... Apexi N1 set as low as I could go without damaging anything...

 

^ Damn that's a hot VR in the background, the MB isn't too shabby

Here are the obligatory night shots, and also my newly done white-lit cluster. I tried to get it to match the gauges, but I didn't get the color temps correct. I'm gonna have to get some new leds that are 6k instead of 5k like I used.

 

F'in sweet. I like the light show!

 

Started to dig in on my 3rd gear lockout issue. Shifter linkage is good...probably broken fork from the symptoms I'm researching on the net.
Looks like I may need to get this bullet proof before DGRR.

 

Well if all goes to how I plan I'll trailer mine there/back in case of failure. it will have room for another incase someones dies.

 

I'm the most probable to fail with my luck so far.

 

I would just like to THANK EDDIE.... His issues with the LS conversion makes me feel extremely happy I stayed with the ROTARY....


SORRY Eddie.... just had too....
