        • received a box of bits today, pretty much all the stuff to redo the rear suspension and diff. need to get some bushes pressed out, so i can blast and paint the rear arms and subframe, then put new bushes in.





          and i picked up a spare shifter arm, so i can fit the UUC short shifter ive had sitting in the cupboard properly. the screws they provide to hold the sleeve in tend to break, because theyre small and only hold on one side of the hole.

          • so while dad started removing old bushes from the subframe



            i went and purchased supplies, in the guise of a big fuck off axle/balancer/whatever puller, so i can get these hubs and axles out of the trailing arms for new bearings




            was going to sandblast the arms and subframe, but its really not worth it, so theyre just getting a clean up and hit with a bit of black paint before the new bushes go in

            • this thing did an awesome job, finally popped the axles free, then the hubs and bearings hammered out once the circlip was out. just have to replace the pissy piece of steel they call a handle, it bent like spaghetti





              need to give the trailing arms a bit more of a clean and pull the rest of the bushes/ball joints



              been considering a bigger whiteline rear swaybar, and since e36s have a habit of tearing or bending the swaybar mounts, i welded in some reinforcements. you can buy kits for them, but i cant see why mine wont work just fine.(only one way to find out :p)





              tomorrow will be putting new bushes in the subframe and arms.

                  • so i had some time to play with the car during work today, so i tackled the amplifiers.

                    the bracket i made up when i put them in was rushed, and i never liked it, so today i worked out another mounting setup. i'll see how it goes before i neaten up the wiring some more.
