Still no side splitters installed
Oil change done, AANND......a side splitter on. One more side and I can bring the car down off the jack stands.

They need to get on it..... Been looking at those splitters for some time now.
I drove mine into work today to get some milage put on it to ensure it is running good for NG. Drove great! Alignment and wheel balance getting done tomorrow. They should all be good already but rather have it done since NG is a week away.
You can order 1g stealth splitter now. They told me mine will ship in less than 2 weeks!
what what!
Went out to meet up with some friends tonight about 30 miles from the house, About half way there had a awful noise develop that looks to be the A/C compressor clutch. A/C was not even on so I'm assuming the clutch was just tearing itself apart. Made it home just now and will have to pull it apart tomorrow to take a look. I originally thought the noise was from the AC/Alt Adjuster pulley which I just replaced the other day with a new OEM one from Ninja, Guess I was wrong. I should have my old compressor still here so I can pull the clutch off of it and swap it in. AC is dead anyways till I can figure out what on my Diamante display swap is not wired right and not kicking the compressor on.... Sucks as I had an Alignment and wheel balance appointment tomorrow morning that I'll have to reschedule now!
Brought another friend home to play.

Now to take it to Line-X.
Are you just going to Line-x the whole car someday..... :p
Somebody already did that.
Ouch! I had to spot weld an e- brake bracket. 2 hrs to fix the welder, 5 min to weld the bracket.Quote:

The only thing that looks to still be available beyond the rebuild kit is the cast iron hanger with lists for $300 plus. Shaft is not included.
Bearing and shaft are both press fit together from what I could tell taking mine all apart.
Yeah, I went through mine with the factory rebuild kit attempting to get rid of a 'shukshukshuk' noise in my frontend. Didn't help.Quote:

Damn I love your sub boxes and the line x. How much does it normally run?
I got the kit from Cherry hill Triplex for $55 shipped Fedex 2 Day. I have spent so much money there that Mike just gives me 2 day shipping for the same as regular shipping. Comes with both dust shields and the bearing and snap ring.Quote:

So car runs and drives fine, just sounds like shit after driving it a little while....
Sure the dust boots on the shaft aren't touching anything? Check the t-case?Quote:
