I've just finished a bunch of work on my car too, hopefully hit the track tomorrow:
Reduced front diff preload from 40ftlb to ~5ftlb.
Replaced 4th gear (again) with DLC+WPC treated unit. If this wears again i'll do aftermarket 4th from PAR or NEAT gearboxes.
changed rear springs from 11kg to 14kg (10kg front).
23mm Cusco rear swaybar with 3way adjustment.
Added catch can electric oil pump - pushes oil back to pan (controlled by Emtron).
Pulled and inspected the oil pump modification i've been using. Working very well. Will modify another one soon and test more. Hopefully go into production in the next 3-6 months.
Added a bunch more sensors with external CAN modules. Bottom radiator hose temp. EMAP. Transfer temp. Ambient air temp. Pre intercooler IAT.
Future wiring there for Flex fuel and turbo speed sensor.

Road test tomorrow morning!

 

notice how they cut before the pigtail? I can't get my old wire out of the harness either haha. Anybody know how to disconnect that power/ground wire from the antenna base?

 

it's cool as long as its not a coax cable or something why is there a power/ground?

 

looking to make my front swaybar "re-greaseable". do we have an aftermarket bracket we can use or I should just add the fittings on the original part? or maybe I should just install a needle/hose for the grease gun on both bushings?

 

Jack Party!

 

lol those are my smallest ones so I have enough room to slide in the hoist and 'skateboard' for the trans

 

That picture makes me really happy I didnt have to drop my subframe when I pulled my trans.... So much more work.

 

I'm doing swaybar bushings too. need to address the caked grease

 

You need a frame that goes above the engine bay and holds the engine up much easier haha

 

that sounds dangerous shifting weight on the body while on jack stands

 

Your not shifting weight the weight already is there. your just supporting the motor while the gearbox/ mounts are removed. example below.

 

I dont know man, it looks harder to lower/swing the motor, tighten fw bolts, reach bolts in the back and lifting the trans with a hoist.

 

Its how ive always done it and ive had my gearbox out probably 25 times in the past 5 years haha. bloody thing. u just put the gearbox mount and north south beam on and u can remove it.

 

Well at least you had another excuse to drop it haha.

 

yeah, experimenting with Energy Suspension bushings. then I need to cook up something to cover the bushings from heat, water and cleaners i think they dry up too fast
