Got the shifter seal out, now finally can re-install the driveshaft from Turner.

Installed the Garagistic delrin shift bushings + UUC DSSR + Shift Selector Joint. 

Gonna try to knock out the DS and heat shield for the exhaust tonight.

Got the driveshaft in with the help of mr. ttrreevvoorr; also have the struts and rotors installed. Still need to finish up the caliper rebuild and its almost ready to be taken off stands..

Threw these on with a couple other things i didn't take photos of.

Personally at the moment I can't say one way or another. From my research there is a noticeable difference once lowered due to it altering the stock dynamics of the sway link/bar's pre-load & load. I have a buddy with an m50 w/S cams running something similar installed by Castro, driven his car a good number of times and love it. Adjust-ability is what draws me in especially when you look at the differences in build quality. Thats just my 2 cents though.

Yanked the last of my exhaust off, gonna freshen up the headers so they dont look like shit. Attacked it with the sawzall to get the nasty POS welding off. If anyone has an extra late model O2 sensor or wants to trade for an early model one... Holla.

Thanks man,

As far as the wheel bearings go, those are on my list still. I'm planning to do all four corners at the same time so its just a matter of setting aside the cheddar at this point and waiting. I kind of have the feeling I'd probably test drive it now and find one to be an issue haha better to just replace a 20 yr old+ part anyhow.

A little brew before putting everything back in..

Threw on the turn signals and new candied tails..

I had that exact reaction once I threw them in and was looking at how nice the copper contrast looked lol. I was just like YESSSS everything matches and cleaned it up really well. 

As for the tails; I have a buddy who does custom automotive lighting so he handles all that good stuff. He makes the clear turn signals and has built my headlights as well if you look a few pages back.

After finding some pitting in the old calipers I decided to go a different route.

Fully rebuilt calipers
