Its all self inflicted wounds. Its what you get for modding. Lol i called megan racing and explained the issue of the bolt whole to them. They said theyd get back to me. I told them i wasnt looking for anything just wanted to have them research it as a potential problem for others.

 

another though, did you use an impact wrence putting those bolts back in or did you hand tighten first? If you used an impact wrench from the start, you totally put the threads at risk. Always hand tighten first.

 

Me and my buddies have figured out a solution. It will be fixed today. Ill post pics. Just dont wanna get new trailing arms to have the same issue but who knows. I prolly ruined the threads

 

Honestly ive had them in and out 10 times. I may have dome that atleast one time. Infeel like if i just got new arms put the shocks in one last time. I should be good

 

So you took the afternoon off to have that done, yeah?

 

On my way to Irving..

 

Anyone experienced with taking off inside door panels? My panel was damaged at some point. Dealer? Autobody shop? Me? I don't know. It is just the outer part of the door panel so the inside layered portions are okay. My guess is there will be a lot of clips and screws. I don't want to hack it up so to speak... having no clue how to go about it.

 

Look in my Bentley repair manual at home. Looks pretty straight forward from what I read.

Has anyone replaced the windshield apron covers yet?

Also is WMW turbo oil line heat shield worth it?

Dave - I know you're working on it, but you might want to take a retroactive look at this - along with anyone else thinking about going lower. Love the look of a lowered car, don't love the price or the pain in the butt... Stupid Winter and potholes.

 

Just ordered a BSH OCC...

 

What is that? To many acronyms thrown around...Is there a glossary some
where?

 

BSH is the manufacturer and OCC is oil catch can.

You probably should pick one up as well. The N14 and N18 engines are know for carbon build up.

 

I bought a catch can of eBay I just need to install only cost 17 bucks..

Hey thanks gor showing. However i have a few mechanic friends that all said a helicoil is wayy to risky on an alluminum trailing arm. So i went with ehat they said. I grinded away a very small portion of the trailing arm to flatten out the outrr side and put a 5" bolt through with a lock washer and loctite

 

Pretty quiet here in the last few days...
