    Rebound, no plans for an audio upgrade.

    However, I would be willing to give it a try if someone wanted to volunteer their car.

    Also, if anyone would like to volunteer their car, I would be more than glad to get started on these videos sooner.

    I am at about 27,500 now, so this will happen soon.

    Next weekend, I will also be removing and reinstalling my rear axle hub assembly, so there will be a DIY video on this.

    I will also make a DIY video on how-to install SPC EZ-SHIMs and spacers on the rear torsion beam, which is likely to become a common job since these cars are plagued with rear alignment issues.

    At 29,000 now. First video will be the installation of a SPC alignment shim on the rear hub.

    Have you done any yet? I'm waiting the transaxle fluid one most right now, as I'm almost to 35k. Since I just got a small trailer to pull periodically as needed, I'd like to get that done sooner.

    I actually had the dealer do mine a few weeks back due to the lack of time (didnt want to miss 30 mark). I can do another one at 45k but that'd be closer to fall. However if anyone in the area needs theirs done and has a garage I'd be glad to do it...


    iPhone ?
