Changed the spark plugs, 57,000 miles, half of which has been boosted and on E85. Also installed Eibach sway bars...damn those end links, and the engineer(s) who design them and the horse they rode in on!

Are you saying this with respect to the gearing ratio changes? Since you've still got the zenki.

Like an idiot, I stripped the threads on my wheel stud trying to install new wheels and not properly checking the thread pitch on the cheapo lug nuts I got.


Hobbled down the road and replaced the stud. Luckily I was able to just hammer it out and install the new stud in about 30 minutes and also ordered proper tuner style lug nuts with the correct specs.

Yes, spare goes on the front. The Torsen doesn't like that donut!

Absolutely. I realized my mistake right after I tightened down the spare.

I drove 25 miles knowing that the tighter I turned, the more likely the diff would lock so I drove slow and dealt with tailgaters.

REAL leather steering wheel with black stitching. Thanks to 86WORX.


Red stitching is getting the axe. Saddle brown seats in the future as well.
