yeah it is hard to tuck without cutting a lot and relocating alot, the biggest thing I did was get rid of all the vac hoses by the intake manifold, i went from like litterally 12 to 3. And I got rid of that big effin sensor thing by the VC, its appreciated more in person as there was ALOT of minor stuff cleaned up that isnt easy to see in the pic. Ill do more this winter when I try a 4g6x swap.

Woooo, it actually seen daylight today. Ran pretty good to. Little bit of a idle problem nothing sever and barely noticeable, probably still because I need an actual MAS vs Guesswork. Got a front license plate mount extremely ghetto fabbed but it looks good tho. More or less just excited to start driving it, and now it will sit for two days until the rain goes away thats coming.

Well, as some of you know, probably only like 2 people really, my car was having a CRAZY rear end problem that felt like sick wheel hop, or like death was coming. So I finally got under there to inspect and do a fluid change and what did I find?

1.) Torn inner CV boot
2.) One of the 2 mounts holding the diff, was no longer holding the diff.

The diff on these is mounted to the subframe by two rubber mounts with one bolt from each going into a tab on the top of the diff, well one of the mounts bolts snapped. So the diff was just kinda hanging.

Well, long story short, she has new CV boots on the drivers side, and a new shiney bolt holding the diff back on, and now shes a tire burning fuel cutting monster again.

Now its time for a maff to see if that cures what ails it.

I bet that was a nice suprise! Was the bolt rusted or it just broke off?
