not sure if anyone answered this, is this compatible with the supercharger?

 

should be no issues i forsee, since everything for the SC is foward of where the stiffy goes

 

is there still any chance to buy this thing in special price ?

 

We can do another Groupbuy. We will need another 20 people who want to purchase.

 

Yeah I bought mine a few weeks ago because I was sure we wouldn't get enough people for another group buy...

 

how many group buys is this going to be.... the 3rd

anyways i be down for some motor mount testing, since i was the one to get ingall's to make the stiffy (which has made you a bit of money )

 

holy f'ing shitballs....

I swear, NOBODY in this town sells breaker bars. The "best" I could find was a couple shops that sell bars that top a whopping 9-10 inches. One shop wanted (swear) $33 for a 10 inch breaker bar.

 

try sears and craftsmen maybe

 

Meh, I might just talk to the maintenance guy where I work. He might let me bring my car into vehicle fitting and do the work there

 

Just get a pipe to slip over the ratchet. If the ratchet is good quality it should be able to handle the torque.

But the easiest way is using impact wrench.

 

Put me on the list

 

Put your name down if you want in....we need 20 ppl.

The lurking nob0dey is in

 

Alright, got the engine bracket installed. Maybe later on this weekend (assuming it dries up outside) I'll install the rest of it.

So as far as adjusting the damper, if I wanted to help preserve my motor mounts, don't care at all about performance benefits, I'd just put it on it's stiffest setting?

 

Alright, installing the damper now.

In order to get that strut bracket on, do you loosen ALL the nuts you see there? The 4 nuts, the one across from it, then the big on in the middle?

 

do not loosen the one in the middle. just the two 12mm and the two or three 14mm nuts

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I tried turning it and it was kind of turning with the wrench. Freaked me out a bit.

Anyways, how much do you have to jack up the passenger side to get those bolts to drop down?

 

just look at the studs while lifting the car.

 

Yeah they're going down, but I swear the passenger side is like a foot and a half off the ground and I still can't slide the bracket in there.

 

You know you could just take the strut tower bolts out from inside the wiper cowl area, along with the strut mount bolts where the damper sits. Then you wouldn't have jack the car up and all that. This is the way I did it, and it went smoothly, but hey whatever works.

 

Yeah I'm definitely gonna try that.^^ Get this!

Jacked the car all the way up, it wouldn't raise it enough to lower the studs, tried to lower the jack, but I guess I cranked it up TOO much, so when I tried to crank it back, it was working for a little bit, then BAM! Car shifted off the jack, fell onto the ground, and left me with a pretty nice gash on my hand. btw my jack is kinda fucked. The brackets on the bottom of it are bent now, so it won't stand up straight. It was the OEM jack, so maybe nothing of value was lost?

 

JUNKYARD for an replacement lol, but yeah i think i got two or three bent ones laying around my mom's house somewhere, cause the car shifted on me (but i would still at least get a replacement one though, so when you do get a flat you have something)

and for a decent jack, you can go down to like autozone or something and get a hydraulic one for only like $30 or something, and it makes life SO MUCH easier (not the best but works for a DIY'er though)

 

xlr8 interested in some 1/4 mile testing? I'll be going back Saturday for about 10-15 more runs.

^^^ Woah...
Holy Crap dude you got lucky you didn't get seriously injured!!!! This is a perfect example for anyone reading this: always use jack stand when jacking up your car.
This also makes my method of install much more appealing. Basically unbolt or loosen the entire strut bar raise it up and install the torque damper bracket... Done

 

^yup i remember that i worked on my dads grand caravan and car fell from a jack scary shit but i was able to get away from there

 

Yeah the whole thing seemed to happen in slow motion, so I quickly jumped back (not before getting gashed on the hand by the jack)

btw the OEM jack is kinda crap anyways. It has no side supports of any kind to keep it from leaning in either direction. It'd be like if you stuck a Kit Kat bar on it's side and expected it to support any amount of weight.

 

jack stands FTW
