well started installing all those parts i bought over the holidays. Been procrastinating something serious as i have not been looking forward to pressing in those diff bushings and for good reason now that i have gotten started on it and realise just how big of a pain in the sphinx it is lol. I already had to run to Tony for another set of diff bushings because i ripped one of them as i pressed it into the diff. Now i have extras so i hopefully wont make the same mistake twice.
a list of the parts-
-ES diff bushings
-Z1 alluminum drive shaft
-Z1 HICAS Elim. bar
-Specialty Z sub frame spacers
-new brake pads front and rear
-CZP sylicone brake hose(you know the s shaped weird one
Day one i only had about 4 hours to do all that so needless to say it didnt happen. I did manage to drop the diff, drive shaft, exhaust, install the specialty Z sub frame spacers, ruin one of the es diff bushings, press one of them in, removed the tie rod ends from the hicas system in the rear and attach them to the elim. bar so i can just bolt it back into place when im finished with everything, hopefully tomorrow.
Tomorrow i hope to press in the remainder of the the bushings, re install the diff, hicas elim, one piece alluminum drive shaft, swap out my front brakes and get the rotors turned, compression check the sysem and check for fuel leaks from possibly pinched rings in my injectors (no im not pulling my plentium im watching for fuel like tony tought my newb self), boost check and fix the leaks, re assemble my passenger door the way it should be and clean my freakin car after all that if i have any dexterity left in my hands.
