So the last few days I have banged out the axles and remove the tranny.
Yesterday I decided to work on it for a good portion of the day before the Massiv Dinner.

I started on the rear end. I hooked up the air gun and started removing bolts. All came out easy except for on bolt on the Toe Arms on each side... So I left it for now until I can get the bolts cut and popped out. Maybe Monday I'll have time.



Then I started on the front subframe. I Swapped out the sway bars for my H&R Bar and removed the control arms to install the CFM Tubular ones but I hit a problem with the installation. Missing some pieces...
Anyway I removed the 4 rear bolts and losend the 2 front bolts on the subframe to install the sway bar with ease.

Then I just bolted my Massiv Endlinks lightly.


I started to strip the engine bay even more to get the firewall cleaned off to install my heat shielding.




After I got bored with that I turned back to the engine to install the Water manifold and egr delete plate. But the EGR plate needed spacers but I didn't have any so I bolted the EGR regulator back up for now so the silicone will seal and dry properly.


I had to remove the oil filter neck to thread on the turbo oil feed line. The "T" was hitting the block. I used locktite to seal the threads so there wouldn't be any leaks. I think it's ok to use Locktite for Oil but not for Fuel...


Also the T3 blanket fits lol I'm keeping that!


I installed all of the pulleys and the belt is tight but perfect. It is tight because the spacer I had to use on the alternator. The housing of the alternator is from a V8 and it was hitting the block hard so I just used some grade 5 nuts and it worked perfectly.



I mounted up the Passenger Side motor mount and popped on the engine cover for now.



I am ordering my MFactory Differential as we speak and a couple other items too.
