Postman got a work out.

Yeah garage is filthy, haven't used this one in 5 years.

Tein Flex Z are certainly not saving me any weight. I think they are heavier then thr stock setup. Build quality is sharp. Hopefully they ride nice.

Also, free gift!! I just noticed I have aftermarket SMIC. Derpa Derrrrp

Glad I didn't skip the engine mounts. Shit was absolutely rotted. A major cause of transfer case failure too.

Routing the ABS delete. OEM proportioning valve and some custom SS lines.

Replacing all the suspension too.

Circling back. Mounts are pressed in. I just left them outside for a few days (~10 degrees) I then used a dremil to grind one edge of the mount to a round smooth surface and cleaned them good. Applied lithium grease to the inside and lip of the mount. Then placed the bushing on it, stepped on the bushing and "pop".

Easy. Also cleaned up some rust and used. My favorite chassis paint. Rustoleom Hammer Coat brush on. It's cheap, locally available and sticks to anything. You can apply it inside like today, since it's not a spray. It will dry even in cooler Temps (~65) but it does take a long time to dry. Great for diff housings and other items that you want to clean up but don't want to sand blast and what not.

Braved the artic Temps yesterday to pull a standard power steering resivore. VR4 unit had additional outlets that need to be looped or blocked off. This is a clean solution for $8.00.

Also, saw this and for $400 bought it. Should be ready for pick up next week.

6G75

3.8L SOHV V6 with Mivec, which is VVT for intake and exhaust and VVL for Intake - ala legit B16A2 VTEC!

A major failure of the 6G72 (3.0l) is the crank design and bearing sizes, which lead to crank flex and spun bearings. The 6G74 (3.5l) and 6G75 (3.8L) fix that. Any 4-digit 3SGTO you see will be running a stroker or 6G74 block or some hybrid combination.

6G75s will make over 300whp on a tune and exhaust. Still going with my rebuilt 6G72, but now I have something to play with down the road.

Spent a few hours messing with wiring. Picked up a subframe with custom arms last week. Save me some money and time.

Got the flywheel cleaned up. Really only thing I Need now is some hub bolts.

Super different, super awesome!

Not dead. Just busy.

Picked up a new OBX front for $240, grabbed a rebuild kit for another $30. Going to clean it up and then drop it off at TRE for install.

Also. Scored a clearances out McLeod Street/Strip full face for $150. That's a $400 clutch.

Car will be at DSM shootout.

Good thing I didn't say what year.

Found some time to work on the car, lots going on in my life so it's really just sat since May. Didn't even get to TRE yet with the trans.

So back to overhauling the front suspension, been so long I forgot I bought Tie-rods and ends, so now I got two pairs.

One set of rods are Taiwan made and the other German. Went with the German, you can notice the cost savings across the OEM and two aftermarket brands.

OEM, Taiwan, German

Tie Rod end, Taiwan and I'm guessing China. The Chinese unit is greasable, but the stud is significantly smaller. Rubber boot is also trash.

Ended up going with the seal end links. Paint and machine work also look better.

Taiwan top, China bottom

Chinese nut and stud are smaller.
