Good to go, the result of not having the beauty cover or any under panels below the bumper means a ton of water sprays everywhere while driving in the rain. It fills up the spark plug wells and shorts out the spark.
Soaked it up with paper towels and it is good to go!

Were you driving through a fucking monsoon!? I have never heard of that happening. It almost seems to defy gravity lol. Any pictures?

I've had it happen on the compact in the past. It rolls off of the rain tray and onto the valve cover
This ^ it was very little water, just enough to short out cylinder 5 or 6. Both of them had water around the plug. It ran good when I left the house and got worse the farther I went so I assume the water got in there from driving.

Got an actuator in my parts car.
Sent you a PM.

That makes sense. When you made mention of the undertray it made it sound like you thought the water may have come from under the car.

Here is how it sits with the Eibach springs in back. I removed the gangsta stickers because I don't need any more reason for seeing cherries and berries in my non existent rear view mirror.

This was before, it raised about 3/4"

Looks good!

Nice Borbets
I've gotten so many requests for trades on BBS but they are just so fancy I can't give them up!

Nice! Glad to see this on the road! That body work isn't much better than my E36, but it is unfortunately better though.

I had an exciting morning... Made it almost 7 miles from my house and the front differential mount bolt snapped preventing any forward progress without terrible scraping of the driveshaft on the floor pan. Not sure why it snapped today, I was just cruising along. My phone didn't have reception so I started walking/jogging towards home trying to hitch hike. Well nobody stopped so that took an hour and a half. Also needed a shower because of mega sweaty action. I drove back with ramps and tools in the wagon after calling AAA. I took the bumper cover off while I waited which was easy because only 3 self tapping screws held it on and got it loaded onto a rollback truck without a problem. Got it home and unloaded into the garage and sure enough...
I realized after getting more than half way that a better idea would have been to just drive in reverse along the shoulder but then it was too late for that.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with my general hooning around
I guess some people just drive around lamely with never even one tire losing traction. I don't see where the fun is in that?It might have something to do with me telling a coworker yesterday that he should have fun and do a burnout once in awhile and that I giver every day and nothing ever breaks.

Gotta use up them tows
Yep! I've only used one this year so far.

I made a "bushing" from stainless steel and Nylatron which is a lubricant embedded nylon, because it was in the cutoff pile at work not really for any special reason.
The fit turned out great into the subframe, I could have gone 1-2 thousandths smaller but I got it in. No pics of it installed because it was 11pm, I will get some another day.
I drilled the hole in the differential larger to use a 1/2" bolt with a nut on the back rather than the casting threads. I had to grind some on the casting to get the nut in there.
The old bushing was a struggle even with the air chisel. I didn't realize it had rubber on the outside of the outer sleeve.
Back in action, I drove it to work today and it seems great. Fun fact: the bolts holding the axles to the differential flange were all able to be removed by hand, yes I did not have to rotate the axles to get all 6, they were so loose I just reached around the axle and took them out with my fingers. Pretty sweet.
