What did you do today to your 3/S?

I've often wondered how much the rear subframe and front end could be adjusted in a stock application to minimize the angles and help reduce wear on the carrier bearings and DS (perhaps allowing for less vibration from the driveshaft as well, especially if two piece) but is all idle speculation on my part.


Today I've shipped a set of heads and got a shipment of sanding discs in for my DA sander. Have to wire my compressor back up to use it, but shouldn't be too terrible to do a few butt splices.

Local yahoo brought another stealth over, he couldnt figure out why his idle was so high...

I have no words.

wow...just wow

I do, McDonalds!

Well, compressor isn't running. If I flip the switch, sometimes it hums and doesn't run, sometimes it runs but surges between high and low power. Not sure what the issue is, but too many other projects to worry ATM.

Beyond that, through careful use of the welder and some light bondo action I fixed a quarter panel.

Also installed the hoop spoiler today because sleeper. Did what is hopefully the last bits of touch up work to the evil eye mod, and made a tubular rear crash bar to replace my rusted out OEM one (and attaches to the stock shock absorbers).

So most of the cosmetic work on the exterior is done at least aside from the obvious of paint. Under hood and underbody still need work though, and the wiring harness project is looking more unappealing by the day.

Help an ignorant fellow out was it the missing screw? Or the big #10 bolt?

there's a bolt in the BISS port

There isn't a screw missing. That is the the backside of the hole. The 10mm bolt is in place of his BISS.

Before I move the engine up and back, I was thinking about the same thing. I was planning on rotating the differential, not anything on the subframe itself. My driveshaft phasing was going to be terrible so i was going to look into dropping one end and maybe slotting the other for adjustment. New engine placement makes for a perfect setup though :)


Also worth noting (not sure how familiar you are in this matter), you do not want a perfectly straight driveshaft. You want equal opposite angles for proper phasing (+x degrees tailshaft, -x degrees diff is an example)
