      My Weekend Project

      Well this picture should just about sum up my weekend...



      ***UPDATE***

      Here is one of the Hotchkiss endlinks after just 8 months, including 1 winter in upstate NY.



      And here we have the LCA and Coilovers installed,


      OH yes a ITR sway bar is on it's way, there is no way to adapt this kind of difference.......


      ***UPDATE***

      Here is a pic comparing the ITR vrs EP3 front sway.


      ***UPDATE***

      Well I finally replaced the lower ball joint boots and got the fronts fully assembled. The toe is way off and I cant get in for an alignment till thursday, so I will take a few trips around the block and get it close enough to drive to the alignment shop safely. I didnt have my torch available to cut the rear MugenSS out, but I did change out all the corroded Hotchkiss endlinks for OEM ones. Notice the liberal use of anti-sieze during reassembly!!!

      Yeah the MugenSS blew their wad some miles ago. Maybe I will remove the Showa dampers, install a set of Konis and sell them.

      Oh, and seeing as the struts are DC5 spec, I have a set of typeS tierod ends to swap out as well. The BITCH will be the rear struts lower bolt, they are both "frozen"....

      I still have a scar on my arm from trying to remove some frozen lower bolts last year at the maryland BBQ.

      Yes, they are the Progress coilovers for the DC5.

      I will also be installing the EM2 swaybar, that will be connected up with Hotchkiss endlinks.

      That is the garage floor

      A full winters worth of crap on the floor

      Because it has a blacktop floor and not concrete it isnt considered a permanent improved structure for tax purposes.
