Pulled out my seats, mats and carpeting and shampooed it all. It was definitely worth it lol

 

Believe the axels are interchangeable

 

Axles are the same for each side, at least on the SS SC.

 

 

watched it roll over 250,000km

 

Thinking about driving it on Thursday.

 

do it

 

 

Worst thing for a car is to let it sit

 

rotated tires.

put gas in it

WOT all the time cause its stock and slow as ****

 

 

had a clunk for a while, had to replace the sway bar end links. now it has the normal dash slamming, but less front suspension clunk. it probably needs all new suspension stuff and probably steering too.

Just installed my fuse box cover from Juan Lopez! Installing my coil & headlight covers next

 

That looks good man I ran out of money so I only got the headlight covers

 

Your ride is always super clean Doug. Great work!

I just purchased the first few parts of my suspension, all FE5: Moog problem solver endlinks, AC Delco rear springs, and a new intermediate shaft. When I get paid again, I'll be buying the pre-assembled moog struts.

Now I just have to wait another month so the weather gets back to above freezing.

 

Wha do you know I went to check my mail today and I had my headlight covers on the mail. I will be installing tomorrow

 

Thanks profDNS! Just like the rest of us I certainly put a lot of time & $ into my build so it's always nice to get a compliment from a fellow modder! You're gonna be happy with those Moog end-links stops that front end noise for sure!

Thanks snail! Juan must have shipped our packages at the same time lol. You'll have to post some pics after you get your headlight covers installed! & your right they aren't cheap so it's not hard to run out of $ before getting the complete set. I'm just waiting on Juan to cut me a fuel rail cover & door sills & I'll have the complete set!

 

Started tearing her down again for another clutch swap. GMPP.

KY clutch has been beyond phenomenal but it's more clutch than I need for my setup.

 

love my GMPP clutch.

 

Likewise, so far

 

I've got over 70k on mine and it still holds like a champ and is great for DD (usually have stop and go on my way home)

 

Well what do you know guys as if dropping $1500 on my car last week wasn't enough I just went & put another $760 in her this week!

New Car Quest starter with lifetime warranty

New Auto Craft Gold battery 650 cold starting amps 3 year warranty then prorated after that

New Moog problem Solver sway bar end links both driver & passenger side with lifetime warranty

Also installed the rest of my covers from Juan

 

I always wondered if the coil cover that's on the lsj and Saab 2.0 is detrimental to the life of the coils. Lnfs didn't have one and I hear way less about their coils failing. Wonder if the lsj coils get too hot under there. Looks really nice Doug.

 

Thanks Nova & good call about the coil cover. I've been fortunate & haven't had any issues. My OEM never acted up & then I installed the Zzp high voltage packs a couple years ago & they have been great as well.

On the right side there's an opening to let fresh air in but it's nothing like having the cover off.
