    Keep up the hard work!
    First off, Thanks!

    What parts in particular? The rear end? I think it's quite the opposite. Yes, I have put a lot of work into it, but should only have to do it once I'm just trying to use decent quality parts or methods so I don't have to do things twice. Yes the car will probably only see 3-5k miles a year - but they will be HARD miles

    • MAF and SLP Lid

      I got bored waiting for my suspension parts, so I took the MAF apart and painted the outside red. Pictures also show the new/used SLP lid I traded my clear lid for. There used to be a red decal over the "SLP", but it was peeling off. I kinda like it white though... it came with the red bird on it too.

      • Id like to do all the front and rear suspension, but Ive got the front apart now, and the number of parts ive broken to get it apart is rather discouraging, and the lack of free time I have makes things real difficult.

        MAF looks good, id like to do something with mine, but ive got the 85mm maf, cant even remember if theres anything other than the black plastic on that one, lol. Shows you how long its been since ive been under the hood of my car.

            • Getting that MAF off sucked...at least before the hot water trick.

              Fred and I tried pulling the lid and the MAF apart, but it didn't want to move out at all. And I mean, one of us would hold the lid, and the other would hold the maf, and pull as hard as we could, haha.

              Fred tried hot water later that night and it came right apart! So just an FYI if anyone ever has that issue.

              Turned out good Fred!
