My favorite was the PB Blaster one=)
That one and the one regarding finally giving up on tech tip numbers.
.....and the spray cans on the shelf.
...and the one about keeping old hardware.
Many of these hit home apparently lol. -
Got the subframe in & steering rack
Subframe needed some persuasion
Steering rack needed a tad of persuasion too. E36 rack/tierods
-
Tomorrow I'll be taking the rear most subframe bolts out again so I can get the ST sway bar on. Also going to try and get the control arms on
-
Sway bar is mounted and torqued
Got the control arm offset bushings on (pain in the ass because of the taper)
I'll most likely pop those in tomorrow. After they are in I'll be dropping the engine back onto the subframe so I can get the support bar out of the way. Then it'll be on to the rear subframe
For anyone who was curious about the ST sway bar hardware here's a picture. Way beefier Than the oem stuff. Washer has a gap due to this shit being 28 years old
Also does anyone have any use for these rear trailing arm sway bar mount reinforcements (and bushing brackets)?? I already had these reinforcements.
If you pay postage they're yours

It's official. I have no idea what to do for suspension. I can't make up my mind

are you going to do 6 or more track days every year? adjustable coilovers.
if not, just pick a tried and true setup and roll with it. I'd say Koni/IE3 or Koni/H&R is failproof.

Intentions are to get into some more auto x events. Car will be DD'd in the summer on occasion but I'm not relying on it as my only mode of transportation.
Only reason I was after adjustability is I can choose my spring rates and adjust the front end of the car for height
Adjustability sounds very nice at this point

Control arms are on & skid plate is mounted. Tomorrow going to lower the engine back into the subframe
Can someone verify that these are torqued to a measly 30ftlbs??
This much room between the pan and skid plate. Should take some decent hits if necessary
Can easily get the drain plug as well
Led light added the lined look, it's not actually there
Hopefully I can get this heap in tomorrow

not 'if necessary'. its going to happen. probably a lot. and it will be terrifying the first couple times. WHACK!
my favorite was roads and alleys that were crowned enough that the skid plate just scrapped along them the whole way.

Engine is now back to where it should be
Everything under the front of the car has been torqued. Just need to get struts/brakes in the front.
Didn't get around to the rear subframe yet, but I imagine I will swear at it a lot

Thanks Man, I would love to go to the picnic as well but I think I am being dragged to automotion (unfortunately) by my gf.
I'll report on all the flat brims, diesel trucks and Chevy cruzes I see
