I suppose im about due for an update, the car has been performing very well actually just been fixing things here and there.

The rear wheel bearing was making a good amount of noise so i decided to replace it who knew what a task that would become

little bit of heat and the axle came right out haha but then i looked at the tire i took off the drivers side because i put new pads on the rear brakes at the same time and saw this,

The cap seperated from the sidewall on the inside of the tire that was all in all not that good of a day lol.

Then on saturday out enjoying the snow it appeared as if my clutch was slipping, which i looked closer and rememberd this sound all too well, the front axle seperated once again, mind you this axle has like 500 miles on it because the one that was on the car when i bought it did the same thing.

So i figured if they want 65 for the reman which includes like a 70 dollar core id buy the brand new one instead for a whopping 75 bucks

All in all the axle job went well on the front.

I then turned my attention to the exhaust I only have two pics of where it rusted off in the back, it was also like swiss cheese around the O2 sensor so i rebuilt it with new pipe and welded a new bung in, damn 10 year old buschur racing exhaust and rusting itself away haha.

thats about all i have for an update for now, I plan on possibly getting new motor mounts or using a writeup for DIY Poly mounts on dsmtalk, also a FMIC, and some new ball joints and suspension bushings along with an alignment.
Thx for looking

Tom
