Rear Suspension Overhaul (Part Duece)

[m3f_PurduinaM3_5769f9ad51]

Wow, this is a great thread. Just re-read it start to finish.



Forum 10 is on fire lately. So much good info/DIY/etc. the last few weeks... :shiftdriv



I agree. Whether it's debates or just regular useful info, there's been a lot more threads with worthwhile info besides the usual noob intros / trouble shooting / pictures. Nothing wrong with those, but I like some good technical info and date from time to time. Hopefully this thread and others I've made can be a help to others who plan on doing the same job as thoroughly themselves.



:rofl3: No worries man. I've eaten my share of chocolate chip pancakes at your place, and had a nice place to stay that's infinitely closer to Nassau than driving down from CT and leaving at 6am. :beer:



As a side note, I finally got a CCA membership, so the $50 reg fees are a thing of the past.



BTW, Ben has already started trash talking about romping all over us on Saturday. Get ready to bring it. :thumbsup2:



:rofl3:



You know you're always welcome down here man... and you always are a huge help. :thumbsup2:



Glad you finally got the CCA membership! Definitely going to be a fun season this year.. I can't wait! And I'm pumped for Saturday... and Ant is coming too! He'll destroy all of us though :rofl3:

since most parts will be different colors so they need to change and clean the gun every time and shoot them separately...

Bagged up, labeled, and ready to go with their corresponding diagrams... yeah, I'm OCD :rofl3:

The hell I didn't!!!!



It is a good way to keep track of things though. You're welcome

[m3f_PurduinaM3_5769f9ad51]

Oh, I was assuming that Cal was talking about Avus Joe, not Estoril Joe :rofl3:


Did you do something similar with your overhaul?

Ah, I remember seeing that now... Yeah, that was the only organized way I could think of to be able to figure out where 60+ individual bolts/nuts/washers go. I put them in bags that correspond with each diagram and then typed up little sheets for each bag that showed the part #, the diagram #, and the quantity... should make reassembly much faster/easier.
