Well...installed the polybronze bushings tonight...what a pain in the ***! A friend showed me how to properly tap, but on the last one (after everything else went pretty smooth) I broke the tap off in the hole about a quarter inch...decided to say StrekStrekStrekStrek it and drilled another hole. I'll plug the old hole with something (either have it welded or use JB Weld)...Either way it's done and the grease fittings are installed. Now to just clean things up really well and install them for good...

Re-installed the rear suspension today and also installed the LEDA rear struts. Parking brake is back on (never want to deal with that again!) and the discs are in place. Tomorrow the calipers will be going on as well as new brake lines and wiring harness. After that it's time for axles and heatshielding before calling the rear end squared away.

But it comes in so handy!
Care to elaborate?
Pretty much finished up the rear end today. Now to break down the CV joints, clean them up, repack, and install the axles. Then I can put the muffler heat shield back in and the rear can be called complete (for now).
I really need to hop inside and finish routing/securing the new EMS harness, and also run and attach the lines for the wastegate to MBC. I decided to mount the MBC in the glove box to get it out of the cabin so I don't feel as tempted to randomly turn the boost up
