I was gonna try and snap some pics this weekend of mine and my wife's EF's but my newborn son fell ill and we had to take him to the hospital. He's better now , but the weather here took a dump on us and now we're all just stuck at home. :?

Last friday...

Now, onto this week
Image

91 EX knuckles... Bigger brakes! :o
Image

Parts parts parts!
Image

Shiny...!
Image

Oh so pretty!
Image

What's that?
Image

Uh oh!! :o
Image

POW! In your face! ;)
Image

Stud-age!
Image

Done! Woot! Woot!
Image

Of course my excitement fades this morning as I find out that when you put new axles on from a DA you also need to replace the intermediate shaft from the same model car... :crook: Damn...! So now I have to rebuild the old Y1 type axle so I can drive the ol girl home without feelin like the entire front end is about to fall off. If it's not one thing it's another... BTW, rear dics next weekend!! FTW!

This morning I was gettin on the highway and got to see the reality of the fear of my chipped ECU. There's no rev-limiter in it. Missed a shift goin into 4th, and she was done. I watched as something molten crawled outta the tail pipe and skittered across the highway in horror... Back to the drawing board. =( FML
