R50/53 My r53s progress thus far

Well it's been a while since I've made any progress as life has just been hectic. So I've got a new set of sumitimo tires after reading a lot of good reviews on them. Cost was only $286 shipped to my door, hard to beat that. Shocks and springs are next to be replaced, the fronts are totally shot.

@bavmotors: You should be fine, I had same pre cat breakage and replaced with an OBX header, no light + better performance so results were good. Good luck.
The pre cat seems to crack at a weld seam of the cone to the can, so it could be repaired if desired. I thought the header option would provide better results.

Mpgs have gone up since the pcv replacement!
My lower steering column took a sh*t, ordered a replacement, steering binds up and feels unsafe. Sprayed it with some lube like advised by others on the forum, it helped a little but it still needed a replacement. Hopefully the swap out won't be much of a pain.

The spray on the double joint buys some time. Its not too bad on the replacement. Take the front wheel off and go in under and at the side. A lift helps. Its will feel so much smoother when it's replaced, and tight.

Must have been bad from the salt and winter corrosion. I have seen them pretty nasty.
