when you changed your axles, did you use an impact wrench, or a breaker bar to get the spindle nut off? I need to replace one of my axles and am worried that I wont be able to do it with just a short breaker bar.

Also, was the 75$ the only option they had, or did the lifetime warranty cost more?

 

They had more expensive options, these were cheaper and came with the warranty.

I have an 18" long breaker bar. My axle nut is NOT pushed into that little area to prevent it from spinning off. I am sure if I had done, it would be harder to remove from the vehicle. I do have an impact gun available if needed.

 

Just use your own Home-Made Breaker bar, use a regular wrench and a pipe. I use it all the time and it works like a charm

 

Whats goodie CV, Havent heard from you in a bit. Hope everything is good and you come back with good updates!

 

Nothing has been changed. Moved in the beginning of July, so all my money for the car is gone now.

Once I sell a few parts I have laying around, I can then buy a new VSS, new headlights (ballast died I think), and a few other little things. Nothing special of course. Ugh, being responsible and 100% on my own sucks. haha

I am losing interest in the car, and fast. The first weekend in August will be without my son, so I plan on working on the car the entire time to catch up on repairs and work on picking the paint off my rubber window seals! I feel bad working on the car while I am with him, and I never feel like doing anything with it once I put him to bed after work etc etc at 830pm. Too lazy

 

I am ditching numbers 2, 4, and probably 5 off the above list. No money or time for these things.



Yes or no to red brake calipers? I doubt I will ever get around to installing the rear disc set-up I have laying around so it might look weird having fronts painted and nothing in the back. Thoughts? If you don't know.. the car is flat white, with flat black wheels.

 

You have the same set up as mine. My car is white and my wheels are black. Mines are the konig Backbone, which look identical to those.

IMO I think you should do the rear disk and while you at it paint the calipers. Its really easy as you have just to swap the trailing arms. It will look weird not having anything painted at the back. Ive seen many of them (some of them with drums painted -_-) not cool.

 

IMO, don't paint the calipers unless you do the rear brake swap. Looks cheesy otherwise.

 

Well, it isn't that easy. I would have to replace the bushings, run the cables, and make some new brake lines and fight with the stock bolts which have probably never been removed.

I guess I will look at them a little longer before figuring out if I really wanna do them or not. My fronts are in bad condition as you can tell by the pic. The rotors are basically purple-ish from overheating and warping :/

 

CvCr, I have a question..

Why would you like to do a custom 3" to a vibrant muffler instead of picking up a catback from skunk2, greedy, megan, etc. Yes I have read that 3" piping is better than 2 1/4 or 2 1/2. How are you planning to do the piping? and again, why do you decided going for this instead of aftermarket cat-back.

Im new to this side of the modding spectrum thats why the question.

Thanx
