Picked up an S197

Going to my buddy's tonight to use his press to install these poly bushings. Rear sway bar was a little loose on these.

Bought two more wheels so I could get my drag radials mounted, now I can switch them out as often as I want.

Should be 70 or so out from Saturday to Wednesday, be happy as shit if I can hook in 2nd from a 40 roll

Nice.... what's the new one read at full steam?

Haven't gotten a chance to check yet. Been cold so spin city.

I got the energy suspension bushings in using a vise, but I couldn't get the links back on the ****ing away bar. Wrestled that ****er for a good twenty minutes, tried grease, silicone spray, windex...

Just about gave up and was going to find a stock rubber set to put on. But then I started reading some posts on the GT500 forums. I went out and measured my bushings and sure enough, the bushings that hold the bar to the car were 24mm (it's stamped on them) but the bushings that go in the endlinks are only 20mm! Go figure.

Short trip to Home Depot for a 15/16th spade bit, I just bored the bushings out to 23mm, then got them right back on the bar.
