Pulled down the subframe today, which is nice, as the weather is going to look like shit in the next coming days. I still need to start disassembly on most of the components, sandblast the subframe, install bushing in the LCAs and solid ones in the subframe, paint the subframe and finally start the reassembly using the new arms form SPL. Not to mention cleaning up the diff and getting that sucker installed and re-checked.

Fun stuff, shouldn't take long as long as I can get the few missing bushings/arms ordered. Maybe even look into powdercoating that subframe......

Also Matt stopped by and picked up his test pipe back, and dropped off my new FLCA bushings. Just need to get the car running than decide if I want to install them in the S13 or S14 LCAs. Oh the joy of suspension mods :D

Had a blast in Daytona Beach. Sure there wasn't anything special going on as far as the Daytona 24 or 500 or Bikeweek, but getting the fuck away from the cold ass Chicago and having few days in the sun, sure put me in a whole lot better mood. I can't wait to get some free time and start wrenching on the car again.
