Update 8/2
1) Solve exhaust vibration at high revs.
2) Change oil & filter, plugs, leads, fit new cabin filter.
3)
Sort out hose routing for power steering cooler, install, mount cooler core & swap fluid for high temp stuff.
4) Figure out if the rad fans are actually functioning. Its never overheated but I don't recall ever hearing them running...
5) Fit the Jon Foz subframe and dropping the steering column.
6) Remove, repair, and subsequently refit alternator.
Mocked up the cooler, I've since made some ridiculous billet blocks to act as brackets, because why not?!
I've also been buying bits, so along with the 8AN fittings, Aeroquip hose etc, I've also ordered a set of Grams springs, and a Volantech cruise control steering wheel mounted panel. Tempted with that PMS rear ARB in the classifieds at the minute, but want to do one thing at once really.
As well as that, my birthday coincided with realising I needed to buy some tools that me and my Dad had been sharing whilst we shared a garage.
Any excuse (Wera fanboy)
Always fancied a battery ratchet so looking forward to breaking plenty of bolts with this!
Think it passed inspection
So to make it a neater list:
Maintenance/Mechanical bits
1) Change oil & filter, plugs, leads, fit new cabin filter
2) Plumb in powersteering cooler, refill & bleed system.
3) Fit lowering springs
4) Fit Jon Foz seat subframe
Cosmetic/Fiddly bits
1) Fit gearbox driptray
2) Drop steering column
3) Fit Volantech cruise panel
4) Fit sunstrip
5) Decide if sunstrip looks w**k or not
6) Replace brake duct hose
I mainly made this post to ask a question, but thought I'd give you something to read so its a bit give & take!
Question: I'm running cup shocks with PMS solid topmounts & strut brace. I have a terrible memory, and can't for the life of me remember if I can take the complete strut off the car in one piece, or if I need to get the spring compressors on to remove the tension, and then take the shock out without the topmount. Which is correct??
