sqc151 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) little busy this morning... i noticed some noise from the front end. so i put it up on the ramps and made sure my endlinks were tight. both small bolts on each side were a little lose. so tighten em back up, then i lifted the car further in the air to inspect my ball joints, tierod ends and hub bearings. the drivers front wheel felt like it was ablout to fall off. so as im getting ready to swap hubs i noticed i can turn the axle nut by hand. it was broken where u put a notch it in. so i replaced it with a good one i have and now the front end is all tight again. then got to the fender rolling... did all 4 corners on the 93ss. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-22_11-21-37_901.jpg then some dude from ct drove to my house to swap his catless 3" BPM exhaust for my stock 93 exhaust and up pipe. cleaned up nice i think. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-22_12-43-12_924.jpg http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-22_12-43-37_518.jpg http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-22_12-44-05_469.jpg then, after talking for a bit, hes gonna come back with his car and swap my stock front sway bar for his 22mm whiteline sway bar. so all in all, had a good morning so far.

Legacy Wagon Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I painted my intake manifold. Word to the wise...when the wrinkle paint says 3 heavy coats it means one heavy coat and two light 5 minutes apart each. Mine doesn't look great, but I'm throwing it in anyway. Too much time spent taping crap off to redo it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqc151 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 it was a nice day out so i decided to change the front axles and ball joints... it went smooth so i made my own 50/50 tail lights. the only thing left to do is swap out steering racks with whiteline steer bushings, install tierod ends and get an alignment which i have set up for tues. after that, all i have to do is swap out the auto seatbelts for the manual set i have and the 93ss is done for the winter. heres whats going in. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_11-30-49_326.jpg so far so good. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_11-32-08_484.jpg ball joint difference http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_11-55-59_462.jpg new axles and ball joints installed. yaaayyyy!!! http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_12-22-23_745.jpg then decided to make my own 50/50s. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_13-19-15_863.jpg http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa474/sqc151/93%20SS%20turbo/2011-12-31_14-49-00_653.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Are the Whiteline ball joints stiffer? Harder to kill? And what do you mean about the 50/50 taillights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92.Legacy.SS Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 so rotated me tires cause i needed to lol and found out that the guy who put legacy gt rotors on didn't keep the back rotors so there solid not vented... damn oh well i need new rotors anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Oh wow...that looks a lot better now I was hoping they'd be tougher haha Well that's more important. I thought the rear brakes were more for stability than braking. I know they help, but as far as I know it wouldnt make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
