VIAS fix.. didn't need to be fixed.
I did the VIAS fix today.. but it didn't need to be fixed. The Cup was rock solid and i tried seeing it if was loose or not,but it wouldn't budge. My car has over 100k.. and this is the first time i have opened it up. FREAK CAR?
but... after i reinstalled every thing... the spring, bolts etc..and went on a test drive, the car felt really fast for some reason.. my car was losing traction in second gear while i was flooring it up hill, usually doesn't do that.. placebo affect...? Maybe
When i was on a straight a way.. redline 1st-3rd.. it pulled hard, even my friend that rides in my car all the time says it feels a lot faster.

free time.. it takes less then 30 mins to pull it out and put it back together.. Just make sure you use a #3 phillips... even with a #3 phillips becareful of stripping the screws.. i stripped one of the hidden ones... had to use a vise grip.

thinking about doing this soon - but also a little worried I will have to break out the vice grips. certainly going to make sure about getting the right tools and even some replacement BOLTS so that I wont have to worry about stripping those soft a$$ screws..

if it isnt broke man - dont fix it. IMO -it would have to be broken to get the JBweld in there (I have to back and take a look at the pics again though)

Seriously, its not that hard, just try not to strip the hidden ones, they're hard to get to with a vise grip. Make sure you use the #3 phillips and apply a lot of pressure to the screw and turn.
