Beater updates, and a new shift boot on the LS.(56K, This will hurt.)

**ragincanadian4** · 1-19-08, 19:38

Some of you may remember that I picked up a 93 RS to use as a daily, I've added a few things since I got it so here goes.

When I first got it:

Nealio cleaning out the rust/water filled spare tire well:

Got bored one day and painted the VC:

Since then, the car was tinted a few weeks ago. These pics are from today. The previous owner must have ran over some serious [shizzle] because the whole rear subframe assembly was all messed up. I had Hughes send me a replacement rear subframe and put it in today. Thanks Mike!

you can't really tell from this pic, but where the sway bar mounts to the subframe was all smashed up.

Bent endlink mounting tab:

Check out how bald the inside of the tires are:

More bent [shizzle]:

New one is in, and I replaced the endlinks with the Moog Altima ones while I was at it:

Now how it sits, for some reason I love this pic:

Finally, here's my Redlinegoods shift knob for the LS, plain black leather, shortened 3 inches. The knob is a Mazda6 knob.

Good old hughes with the hookups

Hopefully it won't go through rear tires as fast now.

That's exactly why I did this. Once I get the new tires on I'm going to get an alignment to be safe though.

that pic of the RS with the bronze wheels does look good

i wish i lived down there looks like every thing under the car is clean and not to much rust.

**mx6GT91** · 1-20-08, 12:00

Wow, looks great currently. Big difference. I have that shiftknob. Its all F-ed now cause my gears are so stiff/notchy. The black leather area is all loose. Hahah!

**neptune_51** · 1-20-08, 23:52

It's a [shizzle]ty spray job. I doubt there is much you can do to fix it.

**gehofff** · 1-24-08, 15:04

So pics of it currently?

**Nealio** · 1-24-08, 15:22

Yeah, I wanna see the [fizzle]ed-up-ed-ness.

**ragincanadian4** · 1-24-08, 18:37

Shut up.

**Nealio** · 1-24-08, 18:47
