no map adjustments, no flashing... just a bolt replacement. the one that holds my downpipe to the bracket down by the tranny decided to go AWOL. gotta a new one in there and happy days...

now just need to clean and scale my maf a little better.

so got back to looking at my tune with the false knock squared away best I could. A little knock was creeping back into my map. Been pulling timing, just a little, to get it out knocky spots.

I'll post some more info after STPR.

Well, haven't done too much with my tune. Been lazy in that respect.

I did get my rear axles replaced. I got it on a lift, dropped the diff so I didn't have to mess with all those control arm bolts and whatnot. Also I had some diff bushings I wanted to put in. Rear end feels better now, no clicking either.

While I had the wheels off and everything, I noticed how rusty my struts where. I put them on ..um, about a year ago? Well they've been through one winter. Lots of salt and wet-slushy stuff left their mark.

It was mainly surface rust but yick.

I cleaned up my rear passenger, wanted to see how much work it was really going to be. I'll work on driver rear Tuesday.

no before pics, I'll get some of one of the other struts

after wire wheel and brush, soaked it with some rust remover

no pics after rust remover either, didn't want to get sticky/goo on my phone...
