Ingalls done

Ross, you see that son of a bish


Bish welded itself in these
Other 3 are peace of a cake, but that one... oh my God

May the force, fire, and sharpness be with you
These...







I don't remember if I got an alignment or not. I would go back and ask how the f did you align the rear. Impossible

You have to cut that inner bolt of the TOE(long)
Do whatever you can to take it out haha but stay away from the gas tank









Thanks swoosh for listing the parts for me.
I used most of them, I think 2 bolts left out.
But you could reuse what you removed from other 3 sides....

Meko, from the looks of it you will need:

1 x 26 90110-SDA-A00 BOLT, FLANGE (12X102) 2 $2.55 $1.89
1 x 27 90173-S84-A00 BOLT, RR. ARM (UPPER) 4 $3.00 $2.22
2 x 29 90215-SB0-003 NUT, SELF-LOCK (12MM) (CLINCH)(SATO RASHI) 4 $1.10 $0.81

1 x 18 52387-SDA-A00 BOLT, RR. CONTROL ARM ADJUSTING 2 $7.97 $5.90
1 x 19 52388-SDA-A00 PLATE, CAM 2 $4.77 $3.53
1 x 30 90216-SE0-010 NUT, RR. ARM (LOWER) (10MM) 2 $5.73 $4.24
1 x 13 52364-SDA-A00 WASHER, CONTROL ARM 2 $5.43 $4.02

This is PER SIDE...

------------------


Ups










Anil, that protesting thing in Istanbul. It's because of taking down a small forest.
Actually green area.

It's at Taxim Square close to Bosphorus...government want to cut down all those trees and build a mall there...
But everyone is against it

As in improving the city Istanbul went beyond the level last couple year. Both Asia side and Europe side
Amazing...

Biggest Mall in Europe is in Istanbul
Cevahir AVM

but gotta stay away from green areas

Your DIY was very helpful and I was able to make the discs without any problems and it was free since I was able to just use the free trials.
I did however have a couple songs cut off in the middle after converting them to .wav, I am not sure why. I caught one of the songs because it was only 80mb instead of 700mb like the rest. I re-converted a few times and it'd cut off at the same spot. One of the songs that was cut off made it on to the disc

Good luck bro
Forgot to post these

Look at the bolt haha

So far so good Steven, I don't even have alignment yet.
I didn't feel any difference, I mean "bad" at least
No vibration or anything

I did notice though, after driving for 1 week... inner sides of the rear tires did look like they were taking pretty much load haha

Wow...if you were able to adjust toe but not move the bolt out, the upper camber arm is a much better option, I think.

That way tire would be sitting at outside right? Instead of moving it inside from the bottom. You would push it out from the top to align it?

am i right?

You are...
I found that the 2 arm ones confused the place I was taking it too...and cheap bushings on the ebay brand I bought...opted for the upper arm one now and it's much better.

Not sure if he did but you should....I would spray PB Blaster 2-3 days before the install

I saw Tyler used that spray for his suspensions, I was going to but I forgot. Didn't have a problem, was so easy to remove the bolts and I live in Boston

For the ingalls, don't even try. I am saying bold got welded itself inside the arm.

Wish I took a picture of it
You know what metal inside the both ends of the arms, which bolt goes through.....bolt got stuck in there.

Left side one, we couldn't remove the bolt, I saw the bolt in there friggen like married to the arm son of a...

Got it? when you cut it from both sides, bolt in the middle (inside), stays there

--------------------

The picture up there isssssss.. the right side

Bolt + metal frame that bolt goes in to + plastic bushing

We broke the bushing but couldn't still take out the bolt, or separate the bolt from it's friggen spot

SOO, don't even try to spray anything there...won't work
Damn I ave to update that ingalls thread, wonder if anyone was able to remove the bolt


Just took this like 1 hour ago






Anil I think I did 2.5 sec
40-60
no alignment and hot engine bay after driving the car 20 miles
Will lower that bish you will see

Rear end was jumping here and there after ingalls...but not anymore.

Thanks J. !!!!
After driving without alignment for a week...now it feels sooo smooth haha
But again, just like always steering is pointed slightly to the left when car is going straight
but meh I am used to it since 7yrs

Originally Posted by swoosh

What is he upto again haha

Aw hell yeah, remember last summer..
20mm RSB
New bushings front and rear
Moog links front and rear

Just added Coils + new compliance bushings at front + ingalls

I guess I am done huh

I cared about the details way more than the look of this car
Finally done with details and heading to visual look of the car

Tranny is happy with Redline
I am happy with xlr8 engine mounts
Same with TB spacer and the intake + THAT bypass
That bypass is everything

I love the current stance + titties on the window
Love the headlights too with zkw-r and Osram CBI
Love the color combo we decided on her
Perfect with the leds everywhere. Just like I wanted pure white (thanks to that ebay guy I finally found)

and we did all of those in one year of being on AZ

Meko car looks great. I like the vid about how the technician just drives your car from around the back of the shop and pulls in like it isn't lowered. I would've been freakin out as well.
