Protege03ak46's Build Thread

Yeah, it fits perfectly on the mx6 also. Its the only local thing i have to measure off of...
 
Today I did some prep work for my new wheels. Worked on the fenders for a couple hours with the roller. Got a nice, even pull all the way around. It was so hot I didnt even need a heat gun, lol. Then I slotted my front struts to gain a couple degrees of camber and ended the day with another couple hours in the garage, doing my own alignment. Nothing like spending the day with your car ;)

What'd you use to slot the struts?
 
Just a regular one. Nothing special. Heres what i did:

1. On the strut/hub, Take off the top bolt. Loosen the bottom one

2. Insert the bit in the top hole, then attach it to the drill.

3. Put one lug nut on and slide a pipe onto the lug nut.

4. Start the drill and pull up on the pipe. Be sure to put some PB or some cutting lube on the bit

It took me about 30min to do both sides of the front. Get an alignment after, your caster will be effed up.
