So here's my car just chillin, as well as a sweet nightshot of the workshop. Invest in some cheap Home Depot shop lights and you won't be disappointed.
As I mentioned before, now's a fantastic time to take off the B-pipe. Use a couple drops of this (RC car silicone shock oil, any weight will do) on the steel exhaust hangers, and the rubber grommets will pop right off.
and there's your b-pipe
the next step is to take the rear suspension off. The rear suspension is pretty heavy. Not like hundreds of pounds, but heavy enough where you want to lift it using your knees to avoid killing your back. An important consideration is that you will be removing that weight from the back of a car that's on jackstands, and while I don't think the car is going to go catapulting forward when the RR sus is removed, it's a good idea to toss some weight in the trunk to make sure everything stays planted. Tires are a smart choice. Word to the wise, this also frees up garage space.
Finally, make sure you have some choice music before you proceed to the next step.
till next time
