Sway bars shipped finally!

Car is back in my possession with cage installed.

Pics once I get it prepped for paint and painted successfully... it's gross right now.

Hopefully in October I'll have some time to install my oil cooler, oil pressure gauge and NST pulleys. Oil cooler just in time for cold weather :rolleyes:.

If we can get an install-fest organized sometime around then I could definitely use your expertise on the pulley! Getting the stocker off seems like a real test.

burn it with fires....

Tonight I gotta drop the exhaust so I can get to the rear bar and finish removing the evap system and harnesses... yay!

Sh0velMan 08-08-2013 07:42 AM

Rear bar on, evap canister assembly out. The canister is surprisingly heavy, at least 5-6 pounds.

Also removed the last of the redundant heat shielding in the back of the car. One less thing to rattle and annoy me. (Full exhaust is wrapped, so that flimsy piece of metal wasn't doing anything)

Kingbaby 08-08-2013 01:27 PM

you can even spray the where the metal shield was with a high temp paint...that's what I did...

What kinda exhaust do you have on?

It's a fast intentions non-resonated exhaust with 3" plain stainless steel tips.

Got the bars on and everything buttoned up.

Weird thing, one of the studs/nuts on the front bar stripped when I was putting them back on. Basically as I was torquing it down the threads gave out so the nut was just spinning.

I had to cut the nut and press the stud out. Just replaced it with a bolt and nut. Whole thing only added about 10 minutes of work, but geez. I'm thinking when I tear it all down in a few weeks for coilovers I may replace all the studs with grade 8 flange bolts and nuts, the stock studs are made from like pot metal or something. Super soft.
