it's only wrong if you get caught

ball joint press for the lat link bushings. we can use that or i can bring my 2 ton press... which weighs 45 pounds...

your choice, whatever gets the job done.

Bled my brakes and reinstalled my rear subframe lockbolts yesterday.

Car is currently getting aligned and having new 070's put on.

I was at the batting cages last night, and got 4 blusters on my hand, so no wrenching today. I'll have to live without the new WL 27-29mm front sway for a little longer.

But- I'm ready for a track day now!

OK, I've done some thinking and I'm going to do a VF48 to replace my cracked VF34. I just don't want to spend the cash to go rotated right now.

Plus, after a few engine scares, I've found I am too afraid to beat her too much. But, I have passed compression, leakdown and oil analysis tests. My engine is nice and healthy for all the abuse I've put her through.

Plus, since I am saving some cash, I can happily run 100 octane regularly.

So, here's what I am getting, let me know what you guys think:
VF48
Samco Inlet
Samco AftaMaf?
DW 850 Injectors
Fuel Pump
TGVs (worth the hassle?)
UP
3mm phenolic spacers
Race Pipe/Mid Pipe (Get rid of my catted mid pipe)
engine pulley (worth it?)
screw clamps on all connections
Jorge tune

I already have P&P'd headers and a x-pipe.

Comments?

i wouldn't do the TGV removal if you plan on driving in the winter.

and I wouldn't do an engine pulley unless it was dampened.

the rest sounds pretty damn good.

you could do all of that, but instead of doing the samco inlet and intake get a rotated uppipe and rotate mount the VF48.

I don't know.

I'm starting to think my VF is cracked as well.
