Been playing with the wagon too much lately. Installed a cherry bomb to replace the blown out muffler. Actually quieter now...
We took it to our campgrounds last weekend. Too much damn fun in that thing.
Anyway, I got around to replacing the bad pulley. That thing was toast. Also replace the cabin air filter. Also, BAD. I actually thing my A/C works better now.
I also bought something but those will be installed another day
Told myself I wasn't going to. Did it anyway. Can't just ignore a fantastic deal! Bought some lightly used Koni yellows with Espelir SD springs.
Install was a breeze. Very very easy car to work on. Also easy to get a torque wrench onto bolts. Only trouble I had was with a sway bar bolt. Hate those allen key bolt things. I adjusted the Koni's to full hard after the install. Drove around town. OH MY GOD. I love it. It really doesn't drive as bad as I figured on full hard. Maybe slightly harder than factory! But dang does it handle incredible. I thought it handled nice out of the box! Unfortunately I can't get an alignment before Saturday's autocross. So I'll have to wait til next week for that. Should be a fun race day!
Absolutely LOVE the way it sits now. I also plan on purchasing some wheel spacers. Maybe 15mm rear, 10mm front. Might have to break out the fender roller if I do get spacers. No rubbing as of now.
Took a trip with the old man to Auburn auto museum. Fun time!
Had some time yesterday to replace the rotors with new OEM's. I believe they were the original rotors. They were BAD. Every one of them had stress cracks. But don't get me started on these assholes. Every single one of them was stuck. PB blaster, chisel & a hammer worked great. Not putting them back on.
I gave the calipers a quick spray as well
Thanks!!
Got some more stuff completed on this beaut. I installed a new TCT as the old one would make some noise when hot. Very very easy install & well worth it. I then gave the car some special treatment with Car Guys polymer paint sealant. Awesome stuff
The next item I wanted to do were wheel spacers. The rears fit perfect (15mm) but I found out the hard way, the fronts (12mm) did not fit. The bore size is way bigger on the front. I'll just have to wait for the right size later. But it gave the car a very nice aggressive look. What I've been looking for. I also bought an eBay front lip & paint matched it. Fitment was meh but I wanted to cover up some of that front bumper rash. I think it looks much better.
Not a bad looking car for 134k miles!! Special care can go a long way
OEM painted spoiler is on! Honestly, my favorite exterior modification so far. I also bought some extra heavy duty 3M double sided tape for that extra stickiness. Highly recommended. Also, hot GF points.
