I made some good progress on the mk60 on Saturday. First up was getting the ABS mounted. I got some donut isolators for the mount. If you shape the mount correctly you don't strictly need these, but I wanted to space the mount a little bit further out and it gives you the ability to…
JMcD said: Nicopp lines are the easy button. They can kink if you try to bend them too much by hand, but no issues even with a small radius tool. The softer material helps the flares seal more easily. I put the stainless spring shield stuff on all mine to protect against rocks/debris. That has…
Today I finished up with the AMT motor mounts. The stock ones were actually in good condition. The previous owner must have done them at some point. Removing the headers made the job so much easier. Next up was the $200 hooker shortie headers. They look a lot nicer than the log style 99 headers….
Last night I finished up the turn one hp2 pump install. Removal isn’t too bad. Remove the accessory belt Remove the alternator (15mm and 13mm for the hot wire) Fully remove the belt Drain the PS fluid Take the lines off the PS reservoir Remove the PS reservoir upward off the bracket. It just snaps…
Installed an auto-blip tonight. Pretty easy to do. Tap into power at the OBD, Clutch top switch, brake light switch, and then 3 throttle wires. When the brake and clutch are depressed at the same time it’ll blip. Duration and delay are adjustable with the little control box below.
Today I put in new axles on both sides. This should fix the grease explosion I had in RR. Still a lot of grease on the suspension that I had to clean off. While I was in there, new diff seals as well. It’s a surprisingly easy job aside from just taking the suspension apart….
File this under dumb stuff I do… Also poured in some lucas stop leak. The fluid in there was pretty gross. Cross my fingers. Rented the steering wheel puller again. My wheel angle was off and the 1/2″ adapter didn’t get it where I needed. If you take the clock spring off you can get…
Seats and belts are the gift that keeps giving. 2 steps forward 1 back. The BK harness bar was designed to work with a full interior. Now I have… not that. Without the stock belts in the car the bolts are too long and bottom out. I can confirm the thread is m12x1.75 for the…
