The ACT 2600 kit from dsmparts.com and they are taking forever to ship it.

I did replace the front wheel bearings, along with lower ball joints and control arm bushings.

Nice, i'm doing that same front end work right now!

[awd laser]

Nice! I heard those are a pain in the ass to replace! How long did it take you? But great build man hope to see you on the road this summer!

Nice, if I knew the control arm bushings were bad at the time I ordered the ball joints online, I would have ordered complete control arms. It would have been more cost effective than buying the bushing kit and ball joints separately.

Thanks, most people say its a pain in the ass because they dont even know how to do it at all. It didnt take me long at all on a hydraulic press, pretty easy actually. I hoping on getting it running this week, once my clutch shows up.

I ended up ordering the new corner markers, I know now I should have ordered the clear corners. Anyways they really make the headlights look pretty bad. I think ill try one of the headlight restoration kits and see if it helps clear them up.

Haha cool I'll probably do mine too once I get my clutch situation fixed! Lol

[dsmghost]

Im still waiting for the clutch from dsmparts.com, im so pissed.

Anyways, I notice my oil cooler is dented in on the face. Im not taking any chances on it leaking so Im going to change it out before I install the motor.

If you have a spare one let me know!

I replaced the dented oil cooler, installed the battery tray and replaced the battery terminals. Still waiting for the delivery of my ACT 2600 clutch kit and Innovate LC-1 Wideband.

[dsmghost]

I ordered ECMlink v3 and sent my ECU out today to get socketed. My Wideband and clutch will arrive by Thursday.
