Well it was a nice day and I wanted to do something to my car...here is what I did:

Well I purchased a full ES bushing kit a long time ago when I bought the car. Little by little I am getting them all installed. Today I decided to replace the rear lower control arm bushings.

First off I found after awhile the best solution was to just disconect all the arms and the axel nut and pull the arm and upright out as one whole peice without undoing the ball joint.

After removing the arm/uprightI proceeded to use a Mapp gas torch and torch out the old bushings.



After the center metal sleeve fell out I scrapped all the hot melted rubber from the outer sleeve. Then used a small hack saw to cut the outer sleeve to aid in the removal of the sleeve. Trying to be careful not to cut all the way through and into the control arm itself.



After I made a slit in the sleeve I used a chisle and hammer to knock out the sleeve. Once I removed all the sleeves from the control arm I used a file to clean out any burrs so that there wont be any damage to the new bushings.

Here you will see the new ES bushings for the control arms:



I used the supplied ES bushing lube and lubed them up. Rob aided me in the pressing of the bushings. It was a huge pain in the ass but we got them all pressed in using several devices.



Here is some pics of the bushings all pressed in and ready to go on the car:




Yes this process was a huge pain in the ass and I hope to never do it again. But it was worth it I know.

Just driving the car on the street and down the road I could already tell a difference in the rear of the car. Its amazing how much of a difference they made. But I am still feeling there is something loose in the rear.


Next thing to do is the front lower control arms!!!

It was a dark and cloudy day when the clouds opened up and the light shined down upon the Mestizo S13. As Jonnie Fraz descended from the heavens he said "Mestizo, it is time...to finish the cage" (Mystical religious sounds play in the background)

LMAO

A small update after the event last weekend:

Well last Sunday I went to the Limitless Motor sports 2 event at Thunder Hill. I had a really good time out there and as always learned a lot. I had installed Stealth Custom Fab Fender Braces before the event and had no seat time with them. So trying to re-learn the car and the slick skid pad was a decent battle. There was a huge difference in the way the car felt in the front with the braces and it felt good. So after adjusting tire pressure and some shock settings I found a happy medium and got my drift on!!! I even got a taste of the Full track and quickly realized how big of a difference it really is out there!!!

Again wanna say Thanks to Jon (Stealth Custom Fab) for the AWESOME parts and Rob (Mestizo) for the coaching and Jay (J's Kustomz paint) for making the car look as good as it does!!!

Here are a few pics for now...video later!









And here is a small battle scar from the event

So awhile ago I invested in a Version Select type 1 aero kit. After I received my kit I found they sent me the wrong front bumper. After consulting with VS they sent me a new front bumper and after a long wait I finally got all the peices I ordered.

This last weekend Rob and I fitted the kit to the car...now I just have to wait for the paint guy to paint the kit. Here are some before and after pics.

Well I picked up a Stealth Custom Fab Power Brace from Jonnie Fraz. This thing is amazing, and I know it will do its job right and make a big difference.

Here is a pick of the Stealth Custom Fab Power Brace:



Here is the Tension Rod brackets off my S14:




Here is the brace pre-mounted on the ground:



Here is the brace mounted up in the car:



Just out of the drive way I can feel the difference with the brace in the front end. Taking corners with normal daily driving you can also feel a big difference in how the car handles and the response at the steering wheel. I cant wait to try this bad boy out for reals!!!

Thanks again Jon and Rob for all the help and jokes!!!!
