I'm running 255/35 achillies atr sport 2 xl tires on 18x9.5 et23 with bilstein b12 pro kit and camber set to -2.2 in rear and almost no rub with minimal roll/pull. I believe if I go at it once More will eliminate rub completely which is on only big dips. |

After 5 years and 45k miles this has been a banner year for broken stuff on this car.
To date: - valve cover - coils - front right door speakers - water pump Replaced water pump and thermostat. Something in there definitely failed and cause some burn marks on the cover, but couldn't really see what actually failed. Anyway, water pump guts. yay. Nice piece of kit this pump is though - for once I feel like the cost of the part is somewhat justifiable. Prolly cost $30-50 to make? Last edited by tlow98; 03-12-2020 at 01:06 AM.. |

Well after a test drive of course I've uncovered more problems
Think my CCV valve needs a replacement, either that or just the diaphragm. I think my oil filter housing gasket leak was keeping the problem at bay, because now the valve cover is getting pressurized. Also got rid of my crusty old hood heat shield, wasnt expecting the hood to 'pop' (or that's my guess, definitely sounded like it).. Guess I'll put it back on and order a replacement.

Sanding and grinding. Filled a few spots with wheel putty too. These were not horrible, so I was able to fix all of it.

Took the car in for oil change, intercooler install, and to fix a leaky washer. Found out that my washer fluid line and coolant line were chewed by rodents...
