Status Update

This weekend a bunch of things are going to happen. The wagon is getting cleaned inside and out, claybared, lowered a little more, realigned, sway bars redone to get rid of the clunking, PR coilover repreloaded, and the new fenders and bumper are going on (unpainted). I have the new bumpers and fender, Ryan @ Area1320 is going to put them on and cut the bumper to fit for the FMIC. This should be a productive weekend/week since I took off of work.

Crash Update

Took the front bumper off today to see exactly what is messed up. The FMIC bracket was mangled to hell, I got it as straight as I could. Also the brackets on the bottom of the intercooler needed some straightening. All in all its back on pretty straight. The bumper is toast along with the fender liner on the passenger side. The passenger side fender and door recieved some light scratches, and I have a very small coolant leak.

The fender bolts were rusted to hell, luckily the bumper was trashed so I used a hack saw to cut the corner of the bumper so I could get it off.

ordered as set of the brackets CarbonIS has.

Going with the sedan conversion as well.

Crash Action

Little bit of crash action today on the way to the sonic meet. She still holds boost and drives straight.

Depending on the weather tomorrow the front bumper is gonna come off and see what exactly got jacked up. The intercooler is not sitting straight. May have to put the stock tmic back into service.

Pink Eye

The wagon caught pink eye this morning.

I’m guessing the bulb is on its way out.

now where did I put those yellow bulbs…
