• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Added the extra o2 extension in today. Ducks I only needed 3 inches. Added the pax harness to add **** to the Cd player and threw on some vht to the stock hu to see what is what
 
^^Wish I was brothaman. Im guessing they add in a bunch of extra stuff that they feel needs to be replaced but really dosent.
 
Thanks guys. Boyfriend was going to talk to someone about using their lift soon. So hopefully. If not, I may take you up on the offers.
Case of beer could be provided.

when its your turn, im guessing you'll do it because of the shops labor rate, easy 500 in your pocket. its not the worst job to do, its just all tight areas to work in. there's really not much to doing it.

i hope it's never my turn lol. at least while I have it. i did a flush on it a month or more ago. all new fluid. that was 110k miles. so hopefully seals maintain themselves.
but in the event, i'd probably do it myself. i have skinny arms so i have an advantage there, but I think what i worry about more than anything is the linkage between steering column and rack. somethin about it moving while changing racks or not linking back up, idk?

I've only been a passenger in my car once. It was weird. Got all paranoid about their driving then told myself to shut up and quit looking at the road. So I looked around my interior and got a crazy compulsion to clean everything.:th_lipssealed1:

i did mine in the driveway with jack stands and and a jack, lowering the back of the cradle 2 inches is a easy way to get them sway bar bolts off the cradle. i used the jack under the cradle, loosened the bolts and lowered it with the jack, with out it resting on the bolts.

ramps wont help much because you need to take both front wheels off. if you were entertaining that idea ;)

I think he has intentions of doing other underbody things while being up in the air would be easier. Idk, its just what he said last night.

Would the motor mount be easy to change out during the sway bar?
It's not making noise but if It's easier, I may have that done too, just because.
