What did you do today to your 3/S?

[NOMIEZVR4]

I don't remember the size..only that its the larger of the 2 spacers that AutoZone sells...

[striker2]

Installed all new ECS struts and S-Tech lowering springs with 100% new OEM mounts/bushings/etc. Tomorrow morning it gets an alignment and then a nice bath.

[Bloodlust182]

Started porting/ polishing my TT heads again. Im about 8 hours in and half way done with one head. Mostly just smoothing out the runners more than porting much, but i have kife edged 2 of the 3 exhaust ports. These are going to flow real good when im done.



They look dirty...because they are lol. Photos dont do the ports justice though. I got rid of all of the ridges that are just inside of the valve ports.

And here's my engine currently...just begging to get finished.

Front spring is not seated completely, or it is on uneven ground. Love my Tein on ECS

I thought so to but the spring is sitting properly against the lower perch and the upper seat is lined up with the lower perch. Its also the same height on the other side.

Does that toilet come in handy when you run into some complications with the car?

The lower perch can raise, and not seat back down on the shock body proper. Check on a better surface, and see if both sides are the same.

Eh? The lower perch is welded to the strut. I already checked it in the garage again, both sides are the same with about a 2" front gap and 1.5" rear between the fenders and tires.

If you have 2 inch gaps then something is assembled wrong. The strut base and the top mount must be properly oriented. I have this setup and have less than two finger gap

You don't want to knife edge the exhaust ports. It will cause exhaust reversion. I thought wrong also and figured it was better to port them out real good like the intake side. All you need to do is smooth out the exhaust side. The shape should stay about the same.
