    So in my suspension class we removed cleaned and repacked my wheel bearings and we found out whoever did it last only repacked the outer wheel bearings and not the inner and it was to the point that the spindle was discolored cuz it was overheating. Might be a good idea to check em out! :waytogo:

    Theres actually a lot on my list tomorrow hopefully ill be installing an exedy stage 1 organic racing clutch kit with LCEngineerings 9lb flywheel.

    I also have LC's stiff motor mounts, and single groove underdrive pulley and timing tag waiting to be installed.

    Then on delivery I got LCs polyurethane sway bar bushings, strut rod bushings, and leaf spring bushings.

    Then a stock muffler of off a supra for quietness but more flow(also in the proccess of being delivered)

    And lastly I have LCs teflon intake manifold gaskets that im going to install when the intake manifold and tb get here so i can gasket match, and polish. bought from XMYMINIX

    Tons of chet on my plate just gotta find the time to do it :D

    which model tach is that? is it pretty accurate? im on the hunt for one but don't want to spend the 100 bucks for a big ugly one and didnt know how good the 20-35 dollar ones on ebay are.

    This is the tach i have i think i got it for 25 bucks at kragen
    Equus 6086 - Tachometer | O'Reilly Auto Parts

    They make a larger version of this one in i think 3 3/8 and im thinking of getting it because it will allow you to swap out the bulb and install an led and with the 2.5in tach you cant.

    Yeah i checked out the website and it looks pretty legit I dont plan on getting the torsion bars until mid-summer though so well see how it goes. let me now if you get them from that eshocks place though id like to know if its real or not.
