The Moog 5409 springs just arrived. I don't know how Rockauto gets stuff delivered so fast. I ordered on Monday the 29th and they arrived today from Fresno, CA. For the Moog 5413 springs I have in there now I paid close to $180 to a local shop, the 5409 cost me $146 C to the door. No one has stock in Canada for the 5409.
Yea they are moving quick. I ordered my starter noon on Friday tracker said It would arrive on Tuesday. It was at my doorstep on Sunday morning

Bought a HF stud welder for 99$ to fix a dent from a past tire explosion. The welder works as it should.

The slide hammer is pure s#!+. So I fixed it.

Now I just gotta figure out how to use it properly.

New Plug wires and plugs. Taylor 73251. Was adjusting my TV cable with the engine running and I got bit. It was then when I realized the wires on the car were 10+ years old...very few miles but still.....

Thinking hard about a 200R4 conversion...mine was one of the last year of the THM350C.

Where the bolt threads in for the vise-grips, you will want to weld the gap together where the handle was formed. Otherwise it will spread out with use and allow the slide hammer part to rip out of the vise-grips.

Unfortunately, these are pretty common tools in the plastic molding industry for removing stray plastic or parts from molds, so I have got to use several to the point of failure.

i don't think the straight up radiator cap style works for these cars. it comes too close to the hood.

Hehe. Tools of the trade. If the tool engineer designed the tool correctly you wouldn't need that tool. Do you work in a molding plant?

In a previous job, yes. I spent about a decade making headlights for Toyota and a few other OEM's. Still have a few scars from that job.
