Rear swaybar installed! Updates...

[Silver Streak]

I couldn't wait...I tried installing it yesterday on my driveway, but to no avail. I got all but one stupid nut off...the 14mm one with the hex hole on it. I kinda stripped it with my allen key and so I brought it to Basil at T-Lex...he heated the bolt, and it came right off! Jeff, saw your old tranny lying on the ground....

All my squeaking from the rear has FINALLY disappeared after 2.5 years...it wasn't just the swaybar that did it, it was the new suspension as well. The car feels a bit tighter on turns but I haven't really pushed it...I'll do that tomorrow when I go to work.

I'll be going back to Basil to get a transmission flush and fill and to install an AT cooler.

Phi and Luc: You two can stop making fun of my wiring...and no, I'm NOT making my own ignition wires out of 8 gauge wire!!! :grin:
I finally cleaned up the engine bay, no more messy wiring! :smile: I chucked my headlight wiring harness, all my high beam bulbs blew out anyway. I'm doing some cosmetic stuff to it...got some nice gold plated battery posts, both + and -! Changed all vacuum lines as well, I also started to install some braided steel hoses. I'm gonna get some nice split wire looms as well. Still looking for a vacuum gauge as I bought the wrong size of Ebay.

That's it for now...tell me if it's nice or rice!

Uh-Oh, looks like Henry got bit by the bug, Japanese RICE bug, early this year

Engine looks mint buddy!

As for the swaybar, im actually getting a &quot;sqeaking&quot; sound in my rear suspension when i go over speed bumps now, which wasn't there before (??) I guess it needs more 'lube :grin:

Im gonna drop by Basil tommorow and see if he can fix the sweak, and also fix my broken door hinge that cracked about a month ago from a strong gust of wind :sad:

anyways, keep it up, latez.

Henry, that looks sweet. Now, if and when I bring my Gen3 up, can you add your silver streaking touches to it also? :grin:

BTW, did you reroute the power cable to the fuse box from the battery, or did you just splice it in, so you can use the gold terminals?

I've actually added a few layers of teflon tape to the TRD RSBs where the bushings clamp to on mine and Howard's. So far, no noises. Those new bushings are harder than stock, but the extra lube never hurts.
