both rides are looking good!!!

 

When you put the kit on make sure you have an impact wrench or you will be kicking yourself. If I didn't have one it easily would have taken upwards of 8 hours. those spring compressors are a major pita. It's gonna look good though!

ps put me on the schedule for a detail in late may/early june.

 

Haha i'v done enough of these installs to know that non impact wrenches wont penetrate it.

Did you break any bolts or anything doing yours? Or strip anything? These things have a tendency of happening.


And you going to come to the cities? We won't be in Fargo after the first week of May.

 

I didn't strip or break anything. I must have been lucky. I had trouble with one of the top strut bolt not wanting to break free (it would turn the whole rod) but a quick 20 min soak in PB blaster loosened it up enough to go. It was actually an easier install than I thought. Next time I'm home I'm doing camber kits and compression rod bushings. that should be a bit more of a challenge.

 

Engine bay photo shoot in daylight. Those cell phone pics of the hoses didn't do them justice.









If you go back and look at the first pics I posted the night I threw on the hoses you'll notice the cam covers are pitted from the previous owner driving the car in the winter and getting salt on them. I used double zero steel wool and they cleaned up nicely. Just an FYI in case anyone else has that problem too.

 

So clean! Great job Joe!

 

That looks amazing!!! Very very clean engine bay

 

Thank you both

 

Out with the old



In with the new

 

And now you get to break 'em in Gotta love that new exhaust smell!!!

 

Looks awesome Tevi! I want sound clips

 

New exhaust smell isn't that great but I'm in love with my HKS

Thanks Andrew. Only have my phone but CnC is around the corner

 

Here's what happens when no shop will help you...

 

Who needs a professional when u got a blow dryer, baseball bat and good company! Well done today team

 

NICE DAN! How did it turn out? Your making me consider this route so I can save the money since No one will rent out their rollers and I don't want to pay a shop 100+ dollars to do it :/
