('93-'01) The Underground Upgrader Strikes again

gaylemd · 04-12-2001, 07:51 PM

Wife out of town for two weeks, so the "Underground Upgrader" strikes again. Well in two evenings, I've installed the white/red rear lights, Kartboy short shifter, trunk light, had the sideskirts, spats, and Version 5 wing painted (for install tomorrow), Version 6 lip spoiler, Kartboy bushings for the shifter, Whiteline front and rear swaybars, Kartboy droplinks, Whiteline rear swaybar reinforcements, and Whiteline front links. I'll save the Magnecor wires and Denso Iridium plugs for Saturday. Need some help though... I want to put Redline in the rear diff but it is not a hex. What kind of tool does one use to open the plugs. And yes I know to open the fill plug first to ensure that I can get it open.

PS Found a fellow that wants to part with his Stromung. Boy, hope the wife isn't real observant.

Tom,
Thanks! Doh! I'm used to BMW's requiring a hex back there. Don't be too hard on me.

The shifter is sweet! Was a bear popping it back in though. As Elise would say, "Smooth as silk". Off to Virginia Motorsports Park for a Scooby Day in the AM. I love it when the wife is out of town
