Got news on my motor....


Block is still at the machine shop getting sleeved(bullshit)... Mike L. said that Benson's is slammed with blocks to sleeve which is holding mine up... Not happy about this at all...


Head: Mike L. said that is sat around for alomost two weeks because he un-boxed the head and didn't pay attention to the name on the box and then forgot who the head belonged to and it took him two weeks to figure out it was mine to know what to do to it... He said it should be on its way next week... Again not happy


I wish I had just bought a used motor, stuck it in the hatch, cleaned the hell out of the car and sold it to buy something else
 
Your just frustrated, chill out and drink a cold one. These types of delays are VERY normal for the import performance industry, I've been doing this ish for about 9 years, trust me, everybody LAGS for some reason... the wait will be worth it though!!!

Here's a pic of new bushings on my freshly painted sway bar

and my new brake lines

yeah i definitely have the same sway bar, did you have to mod the brackets to make it fit? i had to put them in a vice and spread them a bit to make them fit.

yeah I had to open them up a little... I'm thinking of making spacers to go in between so when tighten them down again it doesn't close them back up to much

If you look at yours... I'm supose to have 4 bushings(two on top and two on bottom) but with the new bushings I bought are thicker then the ones that came with the sway bars... I just couldn't put the old dirty bushings back on

yeah i noticed that, you could always get replacement bushings direct from ST. I bought my kit new and it actually came with billet spacers for that very reason, does yours not have them?

weird, it should be easy to fab up some spacers, cut a piece off a thick aluminum rod and drill a hole in it maybe? Post pics of the bolts i love seeing fabbed stuff...
 
Well a little update...

Simple but does the job...
May have the powder coated or anodized
