Small 0.5 liter catch breather wasn't cutting it, I need to do a compression and leak down but found that I have some bad blow-by, my rings might not have been gaped or clocked improperly. I installed a 2 liter catch breather and added a return line like the Endyn style, works better now and no more overflow of oil. My valve cover paint came in the mail(top secret color), and since the engine is coming out again, I decided I'm painting the bay, probably a grey or gunmetal.

In with the new







PLM test pipe, highly recommend it, so awesome for a lot of applications.Didn't get to take a pic of it installed.

After installing my front subframe and sway bar I started hearing a clunk in the passenger side on potholes. Suspension was preloaded so it masked the problem until I started taking things apart and found out it was my Hard Race extended lower ball joint. 6 years of abuse from street and autox, definitely feel like I got my moneys worth.

I'll be trying these Buddy Club RCA next.




Rented a 4wd Ball Joint press, it worked great last time I used it because they are obviously longer than stock ones.

Keep on pimpin' pimp. This is dedication right here.

This looks like a LeMans race or something where they are trying to get the car fixed before the end of the race...lol

Almost have my perfect specs, -2 front and -1 rear. Eye balled the rear to -1 by luck.




Finally have the right PS bracket from a CRV, forget it was aluminum.
