Really digging your garage setup too, except for those filthy Redskins toilet seats you have hanging on the wall.

That does look like a fun garage. Needs a couch, tv, and ceiling fan and you're set. That second pic makes the spoiler look HUGE. Car looks clean

Fiberglassed the grab handle holes on a spare headliner to clean up the look and plan to get rid of the tan headliner.

You don't have to remove the FUCA to grease it?

I forgot to grease AROUND the bushing, the grease serts are fine for the regular 5k re-grease but the initial greasing you want to coat the bushing where it touches the FUCA because that's usually where the pivoting takes place and it's best to just do it manually to make sure you have good coverage, I had a big dry spot on one half of one bushing because I must have forgotten that one.

Mine no longer squeaks but I did forget to grease the nipple initially. I greased the bushing faces with grease. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me.

Swapped out diffs. Swapped out the diff bushings while I was at it. Subframe bushing was a total b*tch as was the left bushing in the diff. Swapped out the rear sway end links which btw were a total b*tch as well. All in all, great bonding time.

You'll get a lot less rear end shimmy and predictable power now. Congrats!

It is not harmless fun. Racing and exceeding the speed limit on public roads and bragging about it on a public forum just encourages others to do such a stupid thing.

What would you do if the police confiscated your vehicle in addition to the ticket, fines and possible jail for reckless driving?
