I had an awesome friggin weekend, the best in a long long time(well the classic weekend was a super close second). I got some real driing in on my car, and some things need to be addressed pronto. Its going to be about a week till the rest of my exhaust parts come in, so no tuning till I can at least fix that exhaust leak. I am not going to drive with a monster leak either(its not hurting anything, because of the FI no back firing either but it sounds like ass). So I'm going to try and sort the suspension before I lose control or do any more damage to my exhaust or even worst, bust a exhaust stud.

first move the short gas shocks to the rear and put some of those short monroe oil shocks onto the front. that should help soften the bumps in the front and it will lower it back down a bit in the front.

next I need to find those springplate shock mounts and put the short gas shocks to the rear. Should cure my whooptie ride and raise the rear a bit.

finally get my wheels balanced, I need this bad.

end result should be a world of difference in handling/ride quality.

I am also going to begin working on some custom door panels...expect something amazing :dance: I'm going to work on simple stereo, I need tunes.

This is all simple stuff but there will be a work day in the future. I need to pull the body up so I can do some cancer surgery, but I don't have a date for that yet.

I promise no more pink parts w:pw

Since day one with the megasquirt I have been meaning too to finish cleaning up under the rear seat. I also wanted to mount all the high voltage stuff above the waterline and use my rubber vibration mounts. It's all bolt in, tomorrow i'll finish the wiring. One more thing finished on this car.
