What did you do today to your 3/S?

I was able to pull some of the top end off and get everything nearly ready to pull the motor/tranny. I did found out that the front 16T turbo is toast from the wreck. :( The inlet on the compressor cover is completely snapped off and the turbo is locked up so it definitely has to be rebuilt.

Sincere props, tough guy.

I know how that works.:)

I ended up pulling the front hub assemblies, front subframe connector, triple gauge pod, datalogger, BOV, and fuel tank off the 92 VR-4. I sold it all to a semi-local guy so his VR-4 will pass inspection. I also started working on the 93 VR-4. I was a little shocked pulling off the crashbar because it was in so much tension from the wreck that it snapped a few of the 12mm bolts as I was taking them off. I got the FMIC, part of the NOS intercooler sprayer setup out, a few pipes, and the driver headlight out. Tomorrow I'll be taking a cut-off blade to whatever I can cut off that won't come unbolted. I'm hoping to install an ARC-2 back into the Stealth, finish the BlackStealth LCD gauge install, and maybe swap out the transfercase also.

might be a stupid question but do you u have to drop the trans to drop the tcase?

No, Tcase has to come off to drop the trans though.

Until I get my own garage and hopefully a lift too I'll have to deal with less than ideal conditions. I don't mind working while it's snowing but forget it if there's rain. I've done that too much secularly and because of a hobby. It's 36 degrees out today and I'm getting ready to solder in an ARC-2, fuel pump, BlackStealth's LCD boost controller, and MAC boost solenoid in the Stealth. At least this has been a very mild winter so I can't complain too much.

These cars are pretty tough too though. :p The crash bar definitely did it's job. As I was pulling it off the 93 VR-4 it snapped three different 12mm OEM bolts and jumped out at me because of the tension still in it. Only the front end got damaged. The rest of the car is intact from the wreck the previous owner had. It's a shame a lady wasn't paying attention and ran a red light but that's life. The whole front subframe surprising unbolted off with little effort despite being bent. The headlight buckets and radiator support were being a pain but I just went at it with a cut-off wheel and peeled it back like a banana. :) I wish the front end of our cars came off because it makes working on the engine a hell of a lot easier. :p

I worked on a few sets of turbos and for a change I got work on a set for my own car too lol. Started machining out a set of WRX comp covers to fit my TD04HL 19T's w/9 blade turbine shafts :).

Oh and we had some stickers come in so I put some on my car :)

Yep, It'll be getting tuned on a dyno

Cool, always keeping tabs on the TD04 developments.
