on the lift, has new rear calipers and rear bushings.  4 links are tight, needs diff service, some rear brake lines run, and studs to mount up TLS's

rear calipers installed

new rear hardlines

brakes bled, still suck

front hubs serviced, decided on 4 longer wheel studs improperly pressed in, with 4 shorter studs on each side.  wheel spacers and TSLs mounted.



need to replace rear coil over, tie up some lines, do some fluid changes, pack tools and swap to 42 spare

i try to push 2x as hard wreck wheeling than racing.  its the only way to finish races and learn your level. 


The car has gotten about 2 days of prep in the last 6 wreck trips, and just keeps taking it.

Probably not a bad idea to plate a thin diff. Would suck to crack it, just as much as it'd suck to crack the front. Also just as annoying to fix :)
