Update.

 

I had another look for the clunking noise.

 

It happens when I go from drive to reverse or when accelerating and decelerating in 1st and 2nd.

 

I had it up on the stands again and it appears to be coming from above the diff housing. I can't see sweet fa up there even with a camera. The new diff bushes are fine though and everything is done up tight.

 

The control blade bushes are totally farked so I'll swap them out and see if the clunk persists. Obviously the clunk isn't coming from them but they are allowing a couple of inches of play. 

 

If it does persist I'll drop the subframe again and replace everything in it.

 

I tweaked the tune slightly and had a positive result. I've recently just started to pick up a misfire after extended load so I'll be looking at the plugs and coil packs and checking they're all good as well.

 

Fun, fun.

I reckon you might be onto it with the control blades. Bursons have them cheap apparently. 

Have you got new coils ready to go? 

Sucks when you fix one thing for another to stuff up.

I was thinking of buying the entire arms from superpro. They're about $350 delivered. 

 

I'll check the plugs first and see what they look like. Iirc I set the gaps to 0.73 mm (?) last time so I can bring them a bit closer without running into issues.

 

I've got a few little things to fix up and some bigger mods planned but I'm also right near the end of clearing some debt so I really don't want to spend anything if I can help it.

I'd be clearing the debt first. But you already know what to do.

After some advice on replacing bushes on my car at some point soon

I have the ims twin bush hat, and figure when I have the cradle out I will replace all the suspension bushes while it is out

Recommendations where to buy a super pro kit ? And anything else I should do while it's out ?

I'm dyslexic and cannot turn off simple functions in tapatalk
