The delete looks so clean. Just couldn't imagine not having an armrest though. I get frustrated when I have it pointing up. What do you guys do with your right arm cruising? Lol.
Installed new Lemforeder FCABS.
DIY'd with my dad, pretty fun LOL. I found the three jaw puller to be useless. I used a C clamp, a hammer, and that mofo was off in less than 5 minutes per side. I reused my old control arms, the ball joints looked like new. Courtesy of the PO.
I am now pondering M50 swap since I have access to many lower mileage and cheap engines at my buddies shop. First step is finding some 323 parts (front subframe and motor mounts)
Wow, lots of catching up in here to do; I've been somewhat "MIA" for nearly a week.
Sunday - Flat tire, bad valve stem on a wheel that was only 2 years old, hope this doesn't mean I got a batch of bad ones.
Monday - Had the bad valve stem replaced, $15.
Today - Dead battery, I hadn't driven the car in over a week and a few days ago I noticed the "clown nose" flashing oddly, I intended to look up the reason for the odd flashing but alcohol got in the way and I forgot.
Tomorrow - Maybe I'll give her a wash.

I live in the smog state of Cali... it has to be approved. I could do S52... but for that much money I might as well do M20 stroker. Unfortunately for me it's a lot more involved when you live here to do a legal swap because of all the assorted parts that get scrutinized, which is my plan with this project.
