Rebuilding my VIII
#619
Did a couple pulls to see how things were looking. Enough to know I'm getting full boost 300+rpm sooner. Made some adjustments there. I'm also boosting up to almost 24 everywhere again. I'll get it back down to 23ish and see if I can start pulling more timing than before.

Got my inner tie rods changed last night. I don't think the old ones were bad, but I've had them sitting in my garage for a while.
Also gave me and excuse to check things out and install my front control arm bushings:
I need new swaybar endlinks and my passenger's side ball joint is loose. Time to get the Whiteline kit.
Also, got aligned this morning. Showing some cross camber. -2.2 on one side, -1.6 on the other. I need to find a camber gauge and see if I can push and pull and try to even it out.

My HKS exhaust has 2 resonators in it. I am surprised yours has none. I guess since mine has a straight through muffler it needed some help whereas the sport muffler can handle it on its own.
Looks great. Keep it up!

Got my roll center kit in. Driver's side is installed. I'll finish up the other side tonight or tomorrow and get it aligned Monday morning. I think the bad pass side ball joint is what has eaten up my tire. Going to try to get new tires in a couple weeks.

Nah. Once I figured out what to use to aid in the pressing it was pretty easy. I invested in a press back in December and it's paid for itself. I've read that it's even pretty easy with the giant c-clamp kit that you can rent from Autozone, as long as you can find the one with a lot of pieces.

PS - Let me know when you're ready for my Bilsteins/GTWorx/Tein camber plates. If you're serious about eventually wanting them I'll hold onto them. I'd rather hook up someone on a rebuild journey as yourself than some punk kid around here.
