New intermediate shaft coming in. Just got a job at Home Depot so I'm about to start having some cash flowing in within the next couple weeks. Plans for near future:

- Energy Suspension trailing arm bushings
- Energy Suspension Hyper-Flex bushing kit
- OBD1 conversion (priority)
- Camber kits front and rear
- Thinking about trying out some Megan Racing sleeve coilovers and reusing my KYB's

Got my old wheels and tires out of storage yesterday and put them on today. Basically new tires up front and semi used tires in the back. Better than those cheap ass Riken tires I was riding on. Car pulls to the right now. I really need to get my Hyper-Flex kit in along with the RTA bushings so I can get the damn thing realigned. Also got a new sticker :D

So I've been tearing apart the car again haha. Got my ES Hyperflex kit in with the RTA bushings as well. Been working on the front but hit a snag today. The aftermarket anchor bolts the previous owner put in to offset the camber use smaller bushings than the stock one's, so my new bushings aren't going to fit and the ones these things have are crap. So I'll probably make a trip to Pull-A-Part this week since some new tegs came in and pray I find a set. Other than that it's been going smooth. Also, when I put my new intermediate shaft in, I got another reman axle since mine were lifetime warranty. Already clicking around turns. I've decided I'm going with Raxles when I get some more money and I pay my dad back for the $200 worth of bushings haha. Nothing but a money pit, this car. Still love her though :)

Well after tons of hours, blood, sweat, tears, and a lot of cussing, I finally finished my Hyperflex kit with RTA's to match. The only bushings I haven't changed are the shock tower bushings and 4 of the power steering ones. The shock tower because it was late and couldn't rent a spring compressor (yeah probably should have just waited, oh well) and the power steering ones because it would have required to disconnect all the lines and drop it completely (not happening). Tomorrow I'm heading straight to the alignment shop to get her straightened out. Also ordered and installed some eBay adjustable uca's. Bought new bolts and washers to hold the ball joint and also added some extra grease to it too. Yay for no more worn inner tires! :D Also found out I need new brake pads all around and I should probably get all of my rotors turned. And another thing is I believe my front passenger side wheel bearing is shot. When I had the whole hub off I could grab where the brake disk sits against and feel it wiggle a little while the other did not. I swear one day this restoration will finally be over haha. I'm getting pretty close, just got to work out the last couple kinks. So that's it for now. Next up: Raxles, brake pads/turned rotors, wheel bearing, and then maybe start looking at doing my OBD1 conversion or lowering some more. Not really sure yet.

(They are actually red not orange haha)

Well after putting it off for a while, the shaking got to where it was too much to handle so i went out and got some new Bosch rotors for the front, lifetime warranty :D $100 well spent. Car feels tons better stopping now, though I've still got my shake when accelerating :/ Wiggled the wheels around when I had the car up and I didn't feel any play so I'm not sure now if it's a wheel bearing. Next up are some raxles though

Alright well little update. Finally got my amps and stuff wired up so I have music again :D I actually built the little piece they sit on myself, so I'm a little proud of that seeing as it was an odd shape haha. Nothing some cardboard and a sharpie couldn't handle :p

Cleaned my baby today. Cleaned the bay, Armor All'd the interior with wipes, vacuumed, and washed the paint. Never knew tire shine worked so well on an engine bay. Just have to lightly rinse off the excess. Here's a couple pics of the outside. Not quite done rinsing the bay yet
