Did your compressor wheel say hello to the housing?Quote:

Can you post the tool you're using to see that? ?
Is it steel or aluminum?
Ordered the suspension bushings for up front, basically going to just follow Bloodlust's guide for it. the search continues for the rear subframe and bushing stuff back there, going to get more measurements tonight and spend about 3 hours working under the car tonight cleaning crap up before cooking dinner and taking the lady to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. No homework this weekend, so going to try to get all of the underside and suspension stuff done this weekend so that I can coat at some point soon.
Going to have to go to the dealer to try to round up new rear brake hard lines. As I found last night while poking around a bit, the rear brake lines were covered by the previous twat-heads rubberized undercoating in a can..But apparently he did not do any prep prior to spraying so there's a decent bit of mess and signs of rust back there. Since I've already got the subframe out, better off just replacing it now IMO. Whether hardline or just making my own out of braided PTFE, not sure yet.
