You may want to reinstall the rear sway. Putting it in jacked up can put preload on the sway and cause issues. The correct way, I've heard, is to put the wheels up on ramps.

p51hellfire 08-24-2009 10:44 PM

well I had to jack it up to put it on then lowered car to attach the endlinks.... I'm not a :noob: like you! Thnx though :up:

yay!!!! new parts!

curly 10-03-2009 01:19 AM

Haha, dude you can type in the picture posts! Is that an RX-7 oil cooler? Do you track it? I thought Savington was beating the crap out of his car on track with his RX-7 oil cooler, no ducting, and still seeing temperatures that were almost too cold.

p51hellfire 10-03-2009 01:22 AM

planning too^ it's not hooked up yet, haven't cut the bumper yet either, so we'll see if i use it still

Fireindc 10-03-2009 06:51 AM

Coming together really nicely...

p51hellfire 10-03-2009 02:45 PM

I hatez him because of that :crx:

2k6750 10-04-2009 04:17 PM

Find me a Torsen! I'm so jealous. I have a 1.8 diff, but its an open one. I blew my last 1.6 one up and found mine cheap with everything I needed. All I need are Torsen innards I'm pretty sure.

oil cooler hooked up with sandwich plate, i/c finally together, cost a whole 55 dollars...
Cops in and wired gonna look for some real connectors now i just don't feel safe with those pins, engine bay lost some weight and gained some cooling!!! Barn doors will be gone soon, coolant reroute, more tuning, and next summer (if she lasts till then) a nice built engine!! :)
