Well heres the next update. motors all in and wried up but not starting yet damn it ! haha. fenders are on , rad in everytings is filled. Right now only problems are the no starting, but that should be an easy fix.
hard fix is the REAR lca bolt can't get it out had to grind the lca/bushings out of the car. so the problem is the back of where the lca attached to has a nut welded on and now theres a part of the bolt stuck and i can't get vice grips or any thign on it to turn it so dont knwo what to do
:blink: . Tried drilling it you but the steel inthe bolt is so hard my drill bits barly cut into it. othe then that ALMOST DONE! :D just need the start and the last coilover and lca installed and its good to go :beer:
If any one has Idea on how to get the bolt nub out iam all ears only thing i can think of it welding a bolt to it but i dotn have a welder haha.
heres a pic of the gross stock suspention and lca's
far right boly closed to the brake is hte probelm
and then the rear driver side all done
hope to have the car driving this tuesday so any hlep with my problems would be awesome :D

| Take your rear sway bar out to make some room to work, grab a grinder with a zip disk, and cut the tacks holding the nut to the subframe. Take your new LCA bolt to Edmonton Nut and Bolt and tell them you need a nut to fit that bolt, and you need a high grade nut. Get someone with a welder to put a couple tacks on the new nut once the bolt is in and call it a day.:thumbup: |
|
|
| bigmack000 |
| hmm i got lots of room in the front to get to the nut that tacked on i will give it a shot :) |

If you really want to get into some serious track use and possible racing your gonna need some FIA approved seats. If you want some fancy ones look into Racetech
