Well some of the Austin guys came over to help install the subframe bushings, remove my stock solenoids and just to hang out. Thanks Rodel, Kuah, David, Rich and Jesse. Man it was a gorgeous day, sad we spent it working under the car. Here is a pic of Rich’s car.
 Here are a few pics of the install.
 One thing we found out was the subframe bushings are silicone filled. You’ll notice that sticky looking goo just to the left of the spacer. Suggestion for anyone doing the spacers, the front ones, remove the side bolts first, then the actual bushing bolt to prevent stress on the bushing.
 They made a good difference but since I have bad struts I still have some hop on hard launches. As soon as my GC coilovers come that should be corrected. Want to thanks Kuah especially for helping removing my stock solenoids. He removed both and helped rehose everything. I was able to turn the gain back up since I wasn't bleeding off boost anymore. We also caped the intake and pressurized the system. I was somewhat surprised as the there was no leak that we could hear at about 15psi or so. At that pressure the dipstick was the only leak. The bad thing is the turbos are leaking. Here are a few pics. This is looking down onto the driver side.
 Here is the passenger side looking up.
 Here is the driver’s side looking up.
Well hopefully the weather will be this nice next weekend.
As always Enjoy the Ride.
