Got some stuff done today, Old KYB GR+ shocks out and bought new KYB AGX 8 way ajustable for the rear. The old rear shocks were probably 20 years old, rubber was beyond shot and the ride quality sucked.
I had to use a small brake rotor puller just to peel the shock body off the rubber then torch the rubber then torch the shock collar on the mount as it was pretty much fused on the mount.
Here you can see how bad they are. this is just holding the shock over a little.
Next up was Rebuilding the Rear diff. Dont have many pics, was in a time crunch.
Rear cover got sand blasted and 4 coats of Silver flake + 2 coats clear
Pumpkin was sandblasted and 2 coats of POR15.
Then all new seals + Bearings. Pinion and LSD reinstalled.
OEM Mitsubishi Fluid
Only pic i took of it in the car. PS the rust is getting fixed this summer.
Then under the car and i noticed this: the driver shock is 1cm away from the spindle. Soon ill be getting a eclipse subframe and new bushings so i hope that will fix the problem.
and heres what the same wheel thats close to the spindle looks like.
Shits fucked.... so heres an updated engine shot
