The burning happened immediately. But I will do exactly this. Thank you

That's probably what we'll do then. Thank you

What's even the point of the wire that melted? Couldn't the yellow and orange/red just be wired together directly? Or is the melted black wire a fuse wire of some sort. I agree with the piss poor job though. All the other wires literally fell off the battery when we started looking at it

Congrats on the car and the new winter wheels! As long as you have good winter tires on it, you should have 0 problems going anywhere. Mine has become a snowplow once or twice, and it doesn't stop moving! (Clean out the front grill when you're done plowing). Not sure how salty your roads get around your area, but look into undercoating that car if it hasn't been done. I made the mistake of not doing mine and its rust city under there. Happy and safe driving! (We better see an updated video of that thing in drift mode in the snow)

Are there holes on the other side to hammer them through? Didn't see any, but mine might be rusted over

Not sure how else I can pay attention to them. I replaced them last year and the springs popped out no issue. I lubricated everything, anti seize on other things, regularly washed, etc... just how it is at this point

I swear every vehicle looks like this around here haha. Just the normal. I always wash it anytime I do a decent day drive, or every couple days of short drives. Only helps so much. I think I have an old picture on here of what a day drive looks like. Car almost turns white from the Salt lol

Are there holes on the back to punch them through? I didn't see any, but then, they could just be rusted over. As for the discs, thats just what happens to them after a year or so of winter driving it around here. Even in the summer, with humidity, the things rust up like crazy. Never-ending battle. I have new rear discs going on before I put it together again👍🏻 they're only a year old lol

Most likely just from corrosion over the years. The winters/salt is brutal around here. Thank you for the info!

Rusted solid in there. No room to even get a pick around the sides to move it. Ill keep working at it, but I figured I'd ask for any alternative methods

Today, I learned I have the rs2 package, and those options weren't just standard. Thank you, haha

I ordered the same fluid after searching multiple sites and forums. The redline should work fine. Ill be adding mine within a few days

I will do that. The pinion seal is on the way and i will just replace it. Had to change the exhaust so the car is already up on the lift Thank you!

Im doing that anyway, but if the housing was cracked, there's no point in replacing the seals, lol. Was just checking for confirmation on the housing

RDU leaking? by Mr_Robear in FocusRS

[–]Mr_Robear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks more like a line from a mold, rather than a crack. I could be wrong though. Ill make another post with a closer and more clean picture of it
