Have you done anything to the evaporative system- the charcoal cannister/ vac lines?

Yes, I did miss that picture.

If worse comes to worse, that bolt that's hitting the intercooler is holding the steering shimmy damper on. You CAN take that entire shimmy damper off, with very little noticeable effect. But that's a worst case scenario.

Well, after cutting out the lower control arm bushings, I proceeded to degrease, sand down, and paint the arms. Then I greased up the new E.S. bushings and installed them, along with the new lower ball joints. I still have to install the new bushings into the new upper A arms. I feel bad about...

Thanks for your response. Which bolts are you talking about exactly? I understand that I'll need to unbolt the steering rack from the column input, and the two motor mounts, and of course the four subframe bolts. Anything else? all of the suspension is already off the car. PS- The bushings in...

And?

Those aren't oem's...exactly. NPR offers a oem replacement piston with an 'anodized' top. Supposed to protect slightly against hot spots or something. I bought a set about 5 years ago for a rebuild, then sold them when I decided to go forged.

So have you gotten a new TPS yet?

LOL. In case anyone is still reading this with even passingly-mild ambivalence, Here's the new brake lines from Driftmotion. The fronts are slightly longer than stock, so that the oem brake line mounting/ guiding points can be used: I am now waiting on the Ronnie K. front bushings, then I can...

And wear eye protection! ps- hope you have a shop press as well.

Reading on them, they say that in the case of E.S., the two colors are just for personal preference, and don't reflect a difference in hardness. One thing I didn't know, though, was that E.S. generally always impregnates their black poly parts with graphite to for self-lubrication. Had I known...

Very interested in hearing about your results.

So... It's gonna be a while on my steering bushings?

Yes, they can disassemble it for you. It'll just cost a bit more in labor. Make sure that the shop you go to has the ability to create the proper surface on the head and block, for your head gasket; not all shops do.

Sounds like he's going from an na to a gte.

Never heard of this problem. On a long shot, take the cap off th fuel pulsation dampner, and make sure that the screw didn't back itself out.

Well, just as hoped, Mr. UPS dropped off another box this morning: Cobra conversion brackets: So I got started on the modification of the front hubs. By 'modify', I mean that I cut about 1.5 inches from the top of each dust shield. Here you can see that cut, plus the bracket being test-fitted...

The latest: I just got back from a week in Canada, and 4 boxes were waiting for me on the front step: New upper A-arms New front ball joints Front brake hardware for the Cobra calipers Hopefully tomorrow, I will receive 2 boxes from Aaron- a set of stainless brake lines to accomodate the new...
