Looks great, nice to see the wheels mocked up. i had to roll my left rear fender lip and i think your offset is even more aggressive than mine. Keep us posted. thanks.

Pulled fuel rail, pulled manifold, cleaned stuff up. Gaskets came off without a problem, thank jeebus.

Now I need to order more parts.

Disconnected the control arm at the ball joint, but the inner front bolt won't come off no matter what I try... Trying again after school tomorrow...

V2Rocket

which bolt?

UltimatE157

My guess is the bolt that goes through the cross member.

Butters944

Not the ball joint. And not the rear one. The third one, that pivots when the wheel goes up and down. Single bolt, through a bushing. I soaked in liquid wrench, we'll see if the impact wrench breaks it loose tomorrow. If not, I'll ghetto rig a jack to a breaker bar and use the car's weight to my advantage

UltimatE157

Theres a nut on the back side of the crossmember, 19mm. As soon as that is off, the bolt comes out towards the front. (Not threaded)

Butters944

I realize. I worked for 2 hours with my impact wrench on that nut. >

Did a throttle body reseal kit. The old seals were pretty nasty.

Drove to work and back, wondering what was causing the new clunking noise. Then I laid on my back on the cold concrete at 10PM while tightening the caster block bolts that the alignment tech forgot to tighten last Sat! argh. I trust my car to someone for the first time ever and it bites me in the ***. I think it's time I got my own alignment tools. How much do they go for? How much does it cost to regain my peace of mind?

my alternator belt was loose so while fixing that problem i checked my rollers and tentioner's the upper balance shaft bolt had come loose so i was lucky to catch that one

Did some more free-rev logs in the driveway so I can try to get the map to a point where I can actually get the car to drive well enough to do actual road tunes.
