So it begins, but did it ever really end? Seems appropriate as today we received our first snow of the season. Much easier 2nd time around. Nice to not have rusted/fused parts during disassembly.
if anyone is looking for basically new Girodisc rotors ive got mine for sale.
Is that front and rear or just front rotors ? i don't see a marketplace post.
Im contemplating fully welding my subframe, sandblasting it and then powder coating. Any thoughts? And just some pics of what im doin. Gotta rebuild these evo X calipers soon.
Dirty Light cleaning with engine degreaser and a brush.
Not worth it IMO. The stock subframe doesn't seem weak at all really and what you're looking to have done the price wouldn't be far off from just buying a tubular one.
Got most of what I need to finish my minor projects. Received the EvoX caliper bolts a while back. Waiting on 2 more bushings and 1 bearing from ESM to complete the busing install. I fubared 1 bearing during install/removal so got a new one coming. These are nice because once the housing is pressed in the arm, you can always get new bearings as they do wear out. Had to drill/clean up the dog ears for the upper rear suspension arm as the OE bolt would not fit through the hole. But it was a pretty quick fix. Have all the other bushings in and arms are ready to go besides rear lower control arms. Picked up a brand new set used on FB with the factory spherical already in them So the only bushings I needed to buy were the 2 for the shock mount. Also got my EvoX rotors today. Not sure if they had a version change or added some finishing process, but these seem to be cleaner in terms of casting flash in the rotor veins. Seem to be a bit more finished/higher quality than my previous Evo 8/9 set. Also Austin has come by a few times to make use of the press and drink beer. I gave him some of my WL bushings I removed for ESM ones. Happy New Year guys!
Spherical bearing I pressed out of the housing/sleeve.
Austin doing some work on the press for his suspension arms.
All ESM bushings installed besides the 2 I'm waiting on.
Cleaned up and rust treated my front subframe. Then coated twice in POR15. Surface finish isnt as smooth as Id have liked but I spent 0 time sanding and smoothing. All i did was wire brush the rusty spots, clean, and treat. Then paint. Shes not gonna rust anymore thats for sure.
Painted with 2 coats of POR15 After rust treatment Just wire brushed and cleaned, before rust treatment.
