What did you do today to your 3/S?

[sergechronos]

Did some more cosmetic work to the evil eye. Working to make it blend, but million other projects

Filled all the holes on the rear hatch (rear wiper, stealth spoiler, low mount non AA spoiler) and the antenna hole. Welded the pieces in the back of the car for the 3K swap (previously they had just been epoxied and bolted into place.)

Beyond that, got the bushings out of the rear subframes and made progress towards new poly bushings going in. Also got the old bushings out of the control arm brackets, but would need a press to get the new ones in it looks like.

New transfer case arrived today (huzzah!)

Cut the torn boots off my old steering rack, found signs of debris and rust around the seals under the boots so.. Its toast. Going to try to track down another locally, but may have some secret plans up my sleeve.

Beyond that, garage has now been mostly cleaned and organized which is nice. Tomorrow I'd like to get the interior of the car cleaned out, and reinstall a few of the inner pieces. Posted a crap ton of parts for sale today on the FB groups, hopefully some of it sells to fund this last push towards completion.

I posted this on the other thread a few days ago. But I finished my custom seat brackets. My corbeau RRS seats now sit a little lower than the factory seats

Nice work. You could start selling those. Most people over 6'1 probably sits too high with corbeaus. Not sure if it's worth the effort to sell with the labour to make them though.

Could just sell blue prints or something. Even at like $15-20, worth the time and material savings for others.

True true.


Btw. while having a good pic. That box thing in the corner what's that for? Want to know if I should delete

[sergechronos]

I have no idea yet, I need to research it because mine is horrifically rusted and likely non-op.

I'll look into later today.

ECS G sensor

ECS G sensor

Should've figured someone would know it off hand, thanks ABM. Well, mine is getting deleted then, as is the Wiring for it. Need to get off my ass and do the wiring harness stuff, so much to go through still to find my grounding issues and what not.

[DrGonzo]

is it only for the ECS? Does the ABS/SRS system use it also? I'll need to look over the wiring again as I can't remember off the top of my head if any other system use it.

You going to make these available to others?

I don't think I am going to get into the seat bracket business. There would be liability involved, and some of my bends were achieved with a vice and hammer. This was my design pic though before I started. I think the only tweaking I did was with the front inner bracket. It doesn't overlap like in the pics, it just welds onto the front. You basically make the actual rectangle frame part first. Use some shims to get it to sit exactly where you would want in the car. Then see what you need for feet. I think I have about $25 in material into them.

Edit: and the square box thing on the drivers side is some kind of factory part. not sure what it is exactly.







And here is what I mean by make the rectangle first. You can see how much lower it sits than the corbeau brackets. Put it where you want, cut/bend the feet, tac them on.
