Happy New Year - Subframe Edition
Got to work for the New Year, work days long enough, decided to tackle this in the garage rather than at the shop. Can be a little more patient with it then, and have a drink or two while working to ease the pain
 Problem:  Solution: - Randy Forbes rear subframe reinforcement kit - Ireland Engineering subframe bushings - Ireland Engineering camber kit - Rogue Engineering dual ear diff cover Got started last night and spent half the day today       Control arms, dirty, need to be cleaned!  Randy's reinforcement kit  Removed  Rogue Diff Cover  Diff, cleaned and painted  Poly bushings  Subframe cleaned!  Carbon fiber  New turbo is ready for the rear end!  And the other toys in the garage!    Happy New Year everyone! Will be working more on this in the evenings, hopefully wrap it up this weekend! -Shawn-

Finally got the car finished up, here's some more pics!
Diff fluid and additive  Subframe cleaned and painted  Old diff mount removed and rear subframe mounting box frame cut open Subframe and diff ready to go back for fitment of new diff mounting ears  Fitted  Subframe reinforcement plates tacked in, ready for welding  Lots of welding!  TIG'd diff ears   Camber and toe adjustment plates welded  Painted, in floor battery box removed and filled with a piece of aluminum  New battery tray and smaller battery (1/2 size of stock)  Final assembly   Redid the rear portion of my 4" exhaust for better fitment under the subframe and more clearance to the larger diff cover  Underside complete      THAT ASS! =D  Glad it's done, ready for some boosting now with the new 4094R Comments welcome -Shawn-
