Didnt you go over it before you took it in? 

[Barbbachello]

I did but not that thoroughly. I need a list to work to

[Barbbachello]

Valve cover gaskets done. Fork that job. New CV is enroute, swapping for a stock exhaust with cash my way sometime this week, tomorrow ill probably swap in the STI struts to raise it (i know right) and start pulling things apart that need boots

[Barbbachello]

Crossed a few things off the list today

• New swaybar links off my GX, originals were rooted. Could push the steel sleeve out with your fingers
• STi struts to raise it some
• New steering rack boot
• new tie rod end. Cheers OMR

Shes still on the stands waiting for a new CV shaft that should be here soon. Also stripped the castle nut breaking the tie rod end loose so will pinch one from the wreckers when i go.

good progress

[Barbbachello]

New CV in today and removed the aftermarket catback. Sold it for $100 and a stock exhaust. Was a pain to get out, had to unbolt the dump pipe thing and get the whole lot out as a nut rounded . Just windshield, some bolts and stuff for brackets and put the stock exhaust back in and she should be ready to go.

How was the nut on the end of the cv? I bent my breaker bar. But my impact driver undid it in about 1 second

Exact same. Didnt bother with the breaker bar as id have to have let the car down

[Adam]

My battery was flat and I was being impatient. Lol.

[Barbbachello]

Fair enough.

As I've just found out rx and gx have very slightly different exhaust sizes :| probably just going to take it to an exhaust place and get them to make it do

[Robert]

It should bolt up

I would have thought so anyway

[Miguel]

Dump pipe? This is turbro'd?

[Barbbachello]

It's about 1/4 too small wob. Not turbod but the gen 2 2.5 is basically in a gt/RS chassis so it has a turbo cross member. The exhaust comes up into the engine bay with an up pipe does a bend and goes back down into a dump pipe cat thing. It's weird haha

[Robert]

Well there you go

[Beckers]

I guess you didn't need my pin punches.

I am around tomorrow if ya need anyfing else, just don't come to close.

Good progress Boi.

[Barbbachello]

Unless you have some gen 2 rear struts i dont think i need anything OMR. Managed to find some punches in dads shed
