Woo!!!

[Damkid]

I busted the TPS when I dropped the engine down (hit the steering rack lol) so AFAIK once I replace the TPS, it's fully ready to go... Again.... I hope...

So this is your last spare, or did you recompile the broken ones into one that works?

[Damkid]

This is my last spare.... Once the car is reliable again, I'll start stripping the 3 dead tranny's to see what I can do to save any of them

I'll also be on the look out for more spares

[Damkid]

First test drive = success

I didn't go too far from home but I drove it around enough to start getting a bit of confidence back in it.... Might take it for a further drive later today

Woo! Congrats.

Put about 50 km's on it... So far so good

good news is good. did you install the rear LSD now??

[Damkid]

No not yet... When I was bolting in the driveshaft onto the rear diff, I noticed my rear sway bar is broken, so that is next on my list and since I'll have the sway bar off, I might as well go a bit further and swap out the rear pods

Also on my list is to change the front pass side subframe, I noticed a rotted out section thats getting a bit too close to the LCA mounting point

Of course, pics will follow lol

[Damkid]

Today's task, changing the front subframe

Here's my spare ready to go in



Old one out



Here's why i needed to change the subframe



And new one installed

[FE3-323]

OUCH at that rust! glad you fixed it

[Damkid]

Ya the handling was starting to feel weird around bends so I knew it was getting urgent to fix lol

Next on the list is to change out the broken rear sway bar and might as well swap in the VLSD while I'm at it lol

[Damkid]

Ugh, still feels weird going around bends.... Time to take a closer look at the drivers side LCA bushings
