Fine, a pizza. Just lemme borrow that tool ASAP! Want to get an alignment done after I install my Konis, but I won't do it until I do the rack since that'll throw my alignment off.

swowlinc · 04-25-2013, 06:25 PM

Well I just finished replacing both camshaft seals. Yay no leaks! Gotta redo the timing after this beyahh.

The rack will only throw it off if you don't line it back up

Or if it was uncentered from the factory... What I gotta do to get that tool?! Blood of my first born? Done!

Got home, mailed my leaking strut

to Koni. Then went downstairs and played with my new rotary tool by sanding down the burrs on my OEM strut housing.

Cut my ac belt off because it was about to rip....plan to replace sunday.

rwfloberg · 04-25-2013, 10:24 PM

Red pinstripe in my grille

lilblue619 · 04-25-2013, 10:28 PM

Changed the oil. Then started taking off the intake tomorrow the tgvs come off and all the fun stuff goes on

lilblue619 · 04-26-2013, 09:21 PM

Just started it back up. Can't wait for tomorrow morning

DavC825 · 04-26-2013, 09:43 PM

Washed it yesterday. Nearly threw my back out doing it too. ****.

Zane · 04-26-2013, 09:47 PM

I ripped the horrible, horrible, tint the previous owner put on the tail lights off and cleaned off the glue and polished them.

Tomorrow, head lights! They're yellowing :|

prashanth · 04-27-2013, 07:18 PM

Nice. I need to get some more of those clips to hold it up.

Smurftastic · 04-27-2013, 07:47 PM

Finally something to post about

EvileyeZ88 · 04-27-2013, 07:51 PM

Are those from the headlight I gave you?

They look about right, and I see you figured out thd bi xenon.

infinite012 · 04-27-2013, 07:54 PM

Tightened up the steering rack bolts (since I'm getting a weird knocking noise on right turns...) and washed the aluminum undertray and the rest of the exterior of the car.

And I also Photoshopped in a drop

stanrc · 04-27-2013, 07:58 PM

Today I blew my rear struts.....pictures to come.

My steering wheel is ever so slightly off center. Didn't disconnect the linkage or anything either.

Unfortunately no

Researched the hell out of those headlights I got from you and found out they are simply xenon.. one is HID and the other is halogen. The stacking design of the SRX headlights allowed Cadillac to avoid using a bixenon setup.. I guess to save money? They do use Valeo lenses though, which are nice!

I ended up selling a bunch of parts so fund a Morimoto version 5 bixenon retrofit setup, with Kensun bulbs/ballasts and a TRS relay. I tried to piece to together on Amazon/eBay to save some dough instead of just go through TRS.. I think I saved about $20

Yep and now my rear end is slammed. Had to take the mud flaps off because they were dragging and my exhaust is less than an inch off the ground. Hopefully I can limp to mach v or my house. The konis have a warranty so hopefully they make it easy to get replacements.

verve94 · 04-27-2013, 10:19 PM

Added my MAIC sticker to the rear windshield ... under my SCCA sticker.

How long have you had the Konis? I wanted to go this route but a lot of people seem to be having problems recently.

roccer · 04-27-2013, 10:26 PM

installed Kartboy rear subframe outrigger bushings and TiC rear diff mount bushings. no moar clunking rear end!

and in the process had to retap one of the threads for the rear diff stud as i stripped it accidentally when putting the stud back in
