Dan, that's what I thought too. But the high and low pressure hoses on the expansion valve are bone dry. The only place I see any oil is coming out of the front of the compressor.
It's all really weird. I haven't cranked the car in a year and it pops before I even get a chance to crank it.
Backstory: Gen 2, car hasn't been driven or cranked in a year due to building a TT system. Car has been up on jackstands for the majority of this time.
I sat the car back down on the ground two days ago. I noticed yesterday that there was a puddle on the ground of neon yellow/green oil...
If you get the nice ujoints from unitrax they are about $20/pop. Factor in another $10 or so for each strap kit you have to replace on every ujoint. So we're up to $150 in parts. It's a fairly easy job to do, shouldn't take more than two hours or so for an experienced mechanic to replace them...
This was my exact thought process. I don't really want to wait that long to get a kit. If I'm doing the work it's all on me to get stuff done. Not to take anything away from RSI, they produce a great kit at an excellent price point; i've even ordered most of my fuel system from them.
I always told that the slot direction in the rotor didn't really matter. What matters is the direction of the vanes in the rotor. If you have straight vanes then install the slots whatever direction you feel like. If you have directional vanes, install the rotors as such:
Take your front wheel off or just cut it to the inside of the wheel well you are working. Remove the large rubber grommet. Stick your hand in the and remove bulb. Remove the two nuts either 10 or 11 mm and the marker will push out.
Take one bolt out, take it to Fastenal, ask them nicely to measure the pitch and length and to kindly point you to the stainless hardware. You should be out of there for under $20.
It's a DIY deal. I've got the capability and the tools to do it and when I started looking at the prices for kits already put together I could get a much more for my money if I just did it myself. I could learn to tune it myself but I don't want to put that much more extra time into it.
I'm going to be twin turboing my GTS in the very near future and I'm at the point where I'm going to be purchasing parts soon. So before I get too deep into the process I would like to talk to someone about tuning my car. I'm not going to be pushing mega boost through it so I'll probably be...

That's the link it came from, it was the same blue banner when I visited the page, but when I refreshed it actually showed the image.
When I bought my kit, the brackets were attached to the brake lines and were sealed in their own special packaging like it was a standard product they made.
Corner weighting is where you adjust a coilover to balance the weight of the car side to side. I don't think you can cornerweight your car unless you have adjustable coilovers.
