lol my thought exactly. Super Pro is shipping me new ones from Australia. Be on my door step in 3-4 days! Super Pro is asking if I have the original packaging, as they want a batch number to see if it was a faulty batch. I think that's speaks volumes for a company.






No problem! You sure know exactly what to say

 

When you get the bushing replaced, get some footage of this! I bet it sounds amazing!

 

Will do!


OKAYYYYYYYYY, so a little off topic. Just had to put down my golden retriever today. Looks like it was nasal cavity cancer that spread. Absolutely amazing dog.
My build thread my posts....
Pic was taken for my 25th birthday, 9th of December.


Back on topic. Bushing will be in from Australia tomorrow. Looks like I will be able to make it to the dyno day Saturday.

 

I love my dog in ways that are difficult to describe. You have my sincere sympathies.

 

sorry about your loss bro. I put down my 12 year old Bermese mountain dog this past July, she had Lymphoma. Cancer is increasing in dogs now. My friend had to put his 8 year old Golden down as well for he had bone cancer

 

My dog just turned 11 and we have a connection that only other dog parents can understand. I can completely sympathize on every level. My condolences buddy, stay strong and just know they knew you loved them and they lived for you.

 

Thank you, I feel the same way.

I am sorry about that, that is too bad. And I too have noticed cancer is very common in dogs now.

Thank you for the kind words.

 

Diff bushing done! Didn't have to drop the diff. Finished in about 20 min. Here are the pics. The gf still hasn't learned the art to part picture taking lol.

 

Ok back from the dyno... Well I have bad luck with these. Attempted 2 dyno days and something happened both times lol. Last time the dyno broke, this time I had a notion to check the oil and it was very low. I was not comfortable running the motor to 8k 3 times back to back. Just bought some oil to change it tonight! It is currently 26° here in Dallas, so should be a fun change.

Also first time I have had to change my oil since I installed my catch cans. Will report with pictures!

 

oil done! Heres a pic of the catch cans. This is from the driver's side. The passenger had barely any oil in it.

 

How many miles? If it's 3k then that's nothing to be concerned with. My mazdaspeed would fill my catch can every 1k

 

Between 5k-6k. Somehow my maintenance intervals changed in my car. I usually change the oil at 4k-5k. But yeah I'm not worried, just happy this didn't pass over the throttle bodies!

An old co-worker of mine had a mkvi GTI and he had to empty his catch can like 2 to 3 times every oil change. Absurd if you ask me.

 

Went to Billy Bob's in Fort Worth for NYE. Turned in the wrong parking lot and did not see the HUGE dip in the road. Well I ended up bottoming out pretty badly at around 10 mph. Doesn't look like anything is damaged besides my license plate, plate bracket, plate frame, and bumper being scraped. However I now have a terrible rattling noise when the car is around 2.5-3k. Nothing looks out of place underneath

Looks like it was a busted resonator. What an excuse to completely remove them lol. I still think I need to check all the exhaust piping bolts are tight. I still might go and have factory cat brackets welded to the rest pipes to completely make the system solid.

 

Ok. So back to factory cat back and the vibration is totally eliminated. Oh well. Will pick up a cat back sometime in the future.
