[QUOTE="e34_lover, post: 628677, member: 16259"] Hey everyone, Been extremely lazy with updates lol.... Car was put back together and it runs great! Alternator issue has been kind of solved. It still pulses sometimes so I will try to get to the bottom of that issue. New O2 sensors and sparkplugs have given the car a new life. So much more power now. I always felt that the car felt sluggish because it was running rich. The leak in the headers played a part in the car running rich as well because air was being drawn into the headers giving the O2 sensors false readings. Clunk from the steering giubo going over bumps has now been fixed. Steering is as tight as ever! Forgot to upload these pics. New front control arms, bushings, rear trailing arm bushings and Vorshlag RTAB limiters [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67846156@N05/7913792178/"][IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8170/7913792178_4797acd9f1_c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Header to midpipe gaskets. [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/67846156@N05/7913795668/"][IMG]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8301/7913795668_ce8a031b42_c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Will take finished pics of my engine bay when my current fixes have been finished. While working on my headers, my arm was rubbing against the windscreen washer fluid reservoir and it started leaking. Had a look inside and found that this piece of rubber was rotten and falling apart.
