Still taking parts out...have a few parts rolling in: Pulled all front suspension components last night for cleaning, painting and bushing install. New "bling" overflow tank came in. Started to degrease my engine bay due to my insane jealousy over everyone who has a clean engine bay...the amount of grease/grime after 17yrs is pretty amazing!

New coilovers came in from RX7 Boutique and I got bored while cleaning and pulled the rear bumper support. Not sure how long I'll leave it off for but...I was bored. Also my passenger side OEM motor mount certainly was a little worse for the wear.

So...I removed my rear suspension last night and had a few adventures...
Adventure 1: I'm fairly certain everyone from the FHP to the Insurance Company to my own friends thought I was FoS when I said I felt something weird happen in my rear suspension when I went off-roading. While taking off my suspension, I discovered the the nut holding the endlink to the rear sway bar was no longer there and the end link had popped off the sway bar.
Adventure 2: Found a baby mole running across the parking lot. Ugly/Cute little guy. Put him in the dirt so stray cats wouldn't get him.
Rear suspension out!
