These came in a few days ago, can't wait to swap out the BC Coilovers and put these in!

They will be a night and day difference!

Replaced a broken wheel speed sensor socket. It disintegrated in my hand when I changed the sensor. Release the contacts with a pick, insert in the new one, all good.

It's been parked at my shop while I figure out if it's worth it or not.

Is the bumper gap caused by the stock tow hitch?

I don't think so. Maybe a bad angle since I was on the ground. I haven't noticed it. Now that I look at the original, I think that's water reflecting.

Looks like a bit o both. I checked with my pinky finger and I can snug it under the left while it's tighter on the right. Maybe 1/8-1/4" variance. My pinky is 1/2" at the nail. Odd though that it's just on the corner as the sides are the same gap.

Anyway, I'm good with 1/8". I would not have been 20 years ago. I also wouldn't have let it go for over a year without a polish. Or for that matter, washed it today and only done the outside. Didn't touch the interior.

Today, I removed the supercharger and will be shipping it off to vortech for new bearings and seal.

I also ordered 4 subframe bushings since I felt a little rear clunk.

Changed the rear diff fluid to Red Line 75-90. What came out was a medium honey color. Unfortunatley I've no idea how long it was in there. I'd like to think it was original at 290K!

My blower should arrive at Vortech today for rebuild. I hope the turn time is quick!

Pulled the exhaust and welded on the angled, double walled, stainless steel Yonaka quad tips. Makes the 3.0L rear look a little more aggressive...
