AccordRanger's 99 Sport

[AccordRanger]

Excuse the mess, haven't had time to clean it out lately.
Took this out....

So I could run some wires under the carpet.

Then found this mess under it.

Vacuumed it then used some carpet cleaner, and got it looking a little better.

CB coax

RCA cables

Figure I'll also post how I have my CB setup.

The mic holder is a wire hanger cut and bent to hang from the pass visor.

Another question for ya. Where did you find just the bushings when you made your front end links. I assume that is just regular all-thread you used? I need to make a set now. I just cut mine off and its fairly unstable without them on there.

 

[AccordRanger]

I just used regular Energy Suspension bushings from Autozone.

Do you find your handset getting in your line of vision?

 

[AccordRanger]

Not really, got used to it pretty quick.

Like the front sway bar disconnects, I'll have to copy this for mine does it line up fairly easy enough when your done? Sport looks good.

Looking good mate! I'm still amazed at what I find under me seat!!

 

[sport97]

Did you ever get around to adding shackles? I am going to be doing the 4 door leaf pack swap, aal, and shackles. Im hoping that won't be too much for stock rear shocks. That will probably get me around 3" of lift in the rear I'm guessing. You got a fair bit even without the shackles, although it seems to look like it settled down a bit in later pics.

 

[AccordRanger]

Still haven't got the shackles done yet. And the AAL has settled, haven't measured yet to see how much.

awesome x man.

 

[AccordRanger]

Got the interior back in yesterday. Sub install is now 100% complete.

 

[AccordRanger]

New fender mounted. 2nd trans cooler hooked up. New rack should be in Thursday night! Then all that is left is lower ball joints, drivers hub, dust shield and brakes. Hopefully she will be drivable by the end of the month then all that is left is installing the new t-case.

 

[Keeper0311]

That's a pretty awesome set up you've got for that sub. How's it sounding?

 

[sport97]

How bad is it to change out the rack? My steering got royally jacked a few weekends ago, pretty sure the rack is shot.

The sub is in my wrx now, but when it was in the ex I loved it!

I have taken my time on it and only done a few things at a time but not too bad.
I did have to cut the inner tie rods off the old one to get it out. And going to be putting the new one in tomorrow.

Of course the best rain so far this year and its still stuck in the garage! Did take my moms through a few mud pits though! All that's left is swap t-cases, brakes, emissions, and registration!:exporange

 

[AccordRanger]

Rack is in and done, only thing the front needs now is brakes.
Just pulled the T-case today, working on getting the new one in! I may actually be able to wheeling this year!

Since I havent gotten to play in the Explorer in the rain we got this week I took the WRX out.

Gotta start saving for the lift and tires for it so I can put in it winter mode!

Nice! Looks like the front lip took a digger in the mud.

I'm heading out tomorrow for a wheeling trip up near Red Cone. I don't know how much rain they got, but it should be fun. I don't like mud- but water holes are fun.

That's why they make zip ties!
