Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

joff · 11-19-2009, 01:47 AM

Old wheels/tires (17" 235s) vs. new wheels/tires (18" 285s):

Despite being a lot wider, the new wheel combo is actually 4 lbs lighter than the old. (44 vs. 48)

Other things I did last weekend:

- changed rear brake lines to stainless lines
- went over to a friend's who had a 12-ton press to press in rear pillow balls and bushings.
- botched putting another coat of clear on the tinted lights. Ended up with horrible orange-peel/crackling and had to wet sand, buff, and recoat.
- removed fuel pump for AZRR to modify bracket for Bosch 044:
