Today was pretty productive, no pictures to go along though. I had a checklist to follow and got most of it accomplished. I had to extend the exhaust on the passenger side to meet up to the header, in the midst of doing this I found out my welder doesn’t really want to weld anymore so I fought with that. It’s not pretty, but it works.
So I got it fired up and took it for a test drive.
I am very pleased to report a successful first drive. Initial impressions of everything:
The FTBR bushing kit should be mandatory for any irs equipped car. The rear end is so free moving now and I think it even rides better.
The gears seem to be set up correctly, they are quiet as can be, and smooth. We’ll see how they wear in.
Power steering is phenomenal. I’ve got the pump set full tilt and it’s nice. Going to be a learning curve on how to drive it.
All seems good, so far. Need to schedule an alignment now because I jacked it all up front and rear.
