Got some more work done this weekend. Back when I swapped the diff's I didn't have another set of poly bushings, so using the old racers trick I filled the rubber with urathane. It helps but the real deal is better. Got around to putting that together finally.

Since I dropped my subframe down and put new alignment bolts in, My modified ctrl arms to correct that negative camber now went the other direction. So I put the stockers back in. (Red ones)

Flat facing surfaces right behind a tire... that didn't go over super well with my paint. So a quick toughening up job was applied too. We shall see how this hold up.

Went for a boot in the back yard this weekend. The snow is starting to melt. I was itching to get muddy. Big wall of ice under the surface that I couldn't get over before the ecu got wet and dropped two cylinders.

However going deep without being prepared causes issues.

Left it over night. Water froze. Had me an unhappy ecu this morning with all that ice. Good thing I got spares. This one has gone into a bag of rice.

In the process of determining my running issues, I remembered that I put the wrong fuel rail spacers in. I couldn't find the right ones at the time. So... thanks to my 3d printer, 18 minutes later I had the correct spacers.
