Sephitrask · 04-13-2012, 08:16 AM

Well only one is leaking right now, but with 100k miles on them i'm replacing the pair.

Are they stock?

I have a complete set of 50K struts with springs, top hats, everything assembled taking up space in my garage

Proxy One · 04-13-2012, 12:26 PM

My To Do list is getting smaller.

Clutch Change to 6 puck Sprung. Release and Pilot Bearing -DONE
Fix a few minor oil leaks - DONE
Change Tranny Fluid over to NEO - DONE
Bleed Clutch with ATE Super Blue - DONE

Still Need to do:
Fix Radio issue with grounding (need tunes on the Gap)
Fix Cigarette Lighter Socket not working
Change intake filter on turbo (its in the mail)
Fix leaking power steering line on reservior, needs new clamp I think.
Change oil

They have s techs on them (that may be another factor besides their age that did it, lol) Plus I need them on tomorrow, since I am working sunday-wednesday, and am not about to drive to Deals gap with a blown shock, seems like a very bad idea. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

This weekend I will be doing: a radiator swap, fix exhaust leak, fabricate a heat-shield for the intake, tune, check brakes and everything else, wash the car cause it is dirty!

Procrastination.
