Ah, and rocketship comforter: +5HP
Got all that stuff in today finally. Took two days worth of a press, sawzall and god knows what else.

Items in question:

W52837 Front Control Arm - Lower Inner Front Bushing
WLKCA359 Front Control Arm - Lower Inner Rear Bushing (Anti-lift/Caster
Correction) (ALK)

W61382 Rear Control arm - Lower Inner & Outer Bushings

W61381 Rear Trailing arm - Lower Front Bushing
W61383 Rear Trailing arm - Lower Rear Bushing

W92835 Rear Diff - Mount in Cradle Bushing
W91379 Rear Diff - Support Outrigger Bushing

KCA414 Camber Adjusting Bolt Kit (sets for front and rear)

And, unrelated, but picked up for cheap recently: Grimmspeed 160 Degree thermostat.

Gonna get a more sporty alignment tomorrow. New Swifts from a week back will have settled in by then too. Anyone want a set of Tein S-Techs btw ? <20Kmi.

And I don't even have my sway bars in yet!

Up next: getting to work on the intake/exhaust. Think I'm staying with the stock turbo for now, but PnPing it and the rest of that jazz. Got my die grinder and a carbide tip, just need to pick up some flap wheels and cross buffs of various grits.

Thanks again to BrendanTheGreat for getting me a great deal on the parts, and SpeedElement for doing what they do, and damn well.

Car Info: Whatever The Lot Provides ;)
Fiddled with my roof system and cut my Thule LB's down to exactly 50" using my new DeWalt Sawzall toy and then went on a couple freeway drives with keys in hand to try to fine tune the front crossbar to cut down as much road noise as possible and gain back some sun roof visibility. Decided I may just throw this setup @ Lil'Bro/Lil'Bro'sWife for their surfing and get myself something nicer. Talked to Joey @ InfamousFab about the idea of shaving the rails like a couple peeps on SF.org did and make some sick custom deal with included tower mounts.

Spendy version but we always come up with some sweet setups.

Started to get a bit of a rough idle, so I cleaned the IACV with the help of these threads from nasioc:
My IACV cleaning writeup - NASIOC
Cleaning And Reattaching The IACV (Idle Air Control Valve) - NASIOC
Now all is well
