Tricked myself into working on my car for 5 minutes
Got the DS back together with a new CSB. (Old one was installed incorrectly) -don't believe the Internet about installing the CSB "backwards" they are offset and put an angle on the DS at the CSB. I took a bunch of pics for the next thread I see about installing these backwards when using a 24v swap DS.
Also drained the old diff fluid
Went to put new drain plugs in. And I don't have an Allen wrench in size massive. So I need to go pick up a new wrench tomorrow so I can tighten it and put the redline 75w-90 in
-
Put a bolt in it and a nut on the bolt, then use a socket to tighten it
or
i go get the right size allen wrench
-
It is a nifty idea. But I'm probably in the same boat as I don't have a bolt that exact size
-
So went to Sears and some other places. Nobody had an Allen that large. So I just bought a bolt and a few nuts. Gonna use the earl method.
-
A hex socket set would probably have the right size, you can buy the gear wrench set at Sears or Advance Auto.
Looked for those as well. No luck.
Bolt & nuts worked fine
Fluids in and plugs are tioght
-
New trans fluid is in. Went with redline MTL. also made a list which I immediately regretted. Pretty much ran out of cardboard.

Patiently waiting for coilovers to show up........

Coilovers are due to ship in about a week.
In the meantime I've been looking at buying new wheels/rubber. I have it narrowed down to 15x8 so I can run the bfg rivals 205/50/15. They seem to run bigger. Pics of them on 8s actually look relatively square which I'm happy about. Or the hankook rs-3 in 225/45/15. Both will fit and be relatively square and cost pretty much the same .
Trying to narrow down some wheels. They need to be 15x8, light, affordable and look okay. I'd also rather not run spacers but will if I have to
So far:
15x8
14.6 lbs
20mm offset
$109 each
15x8
20mm offset
13lbs
$138 each
15x8
20mm offset
13.5lbs
$109 each
Here's what the bfgs look like on 8s for example on the left
I will be selling my 15x7 k1s
I know they will probably work fine for me but I want something different and really want an 8" wheel for the future tire size changes

both those tires looked stretched to me....
That's why I said relatively square................................................
