soryr I dind't get your call til late casper... was bein' a bum all day..
.
GUYS! I lost 4 lbs in the past week... well actually proly more like 3...

but I've gotta lose 20 lbs by spring break...

RUF87

Man, I bet you'll look great in that new bikini, I mean speedo.

Ruf

DeezNutz

if you wear rubber flip-flops instead of shoes on spring break, you'll lose around a pound right there.

civic4982

if I don't start losing weight I won't be able to tell WHAT I have on my feet when spring break comes around...

Casper, At last I have finnished the I30. For future referance, the strut mounting plates should be in one piece. That is the rubber gromet is supposed to be vulcanized to the metal plate.

Well after your tutorial on the removal and replacement of struts I was able to get the new $51 a piece plates on in about 2hrs. This was working alone and without a 1" socket which ment I had to crank down the spring compressor with an open end wrench. Everyone I nomally borrow tools from was gone.

Anyways thanks again for you help Casper. Now I know I will be able to change my on springs and struts myself.

Did you get your breaks done? If not give me a call I would be happy to help.

Got the pads changed out and the passenger side blead, but my rotors have small cracks coming form the cross drilled points and i think I cross threaded a lug on my drivers side... time to replace the lug bolts on the front wheels!

on a happier note... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

have a safe trip inferno, try not to have TOO much fun

I made a donation of $100 at the Hollywood last Tuesday. We were doing good been playing Blackjack for 3-4 hours drinkin having a good time and then they run a new dealer in on us and in 30 min. everyone at the table was gone.

It was very interresting. This dealer drew 6 cards for a 18 at one time.

I hope everybody had a nice Christmass. We traveled to Cleaburn to see the wifes family and then back to Highlandvillage for a good party on the lake. Good friends, naighbors, booz and cigars. All in all a good day.

OK new mod for the first gen. I put a little Funk in the Trunk. Added a Rockford Fosgate 150S Amp and RFZ3408 10" Sub in a sealed closure, in the trunk, to the Bose. It really brought the Bose to life.

I guess I get last mod for 2003. You guys got a few days left.

I would be up for a meet this week.

Anyone have experience taking out front shocks? I busted another one, and need to replace it. Figure I'd do it myself this go around.

civic4982

my rear driver's side brake pads are starting to squeak. I need to change them out... how hard is it to do guys?

civic4982

I did my front when doing the springs and it was a cinch. Impact wrenches are a must though. They make the job 100X easier. All you'll need is a nice set of sockets and then a spring compressor. Shouldn't be more than a 1 hour job for one shock.

Now days, fuel filters are built into the gas tank and have some outrageous life expectancy... don't ask me how you replace them, but they're supposed to last forever.

hey nothing lasts forever!!!!!
theese cars have filters that need to be replaced , it did help my gas milage. you should replace the gas filter about every 50-60,000 you can even do it your self- it is located on the undercarrage of the driver side -- along the fuel line , you must buy a tool to take off the old gas line it is real easy though!

danny25

I see you have a 1st gen, I wonder if the fuel filter would be in the same place on a 2nd gen.

did any thing ever come of the dallas meet ? where did you all meet up ? lets do it again !! i missed the last one this time lets get every one texas is huge there has to be people that want to ride in a group of unbadged cars that not manny people know what our cars are so lets show them off

danny25

we don't really have anything planned right now. but i know I'm up for one. We usually meet at the track, but we could all meet and have a BBQ or something.

rad_cl_racer

THAT SOUNDS GREAT
some one should have a BBQ and we could all meet at their place

ib_jimmy

BBQ sound great!!!... hey if ur car is already lowered u dont really need a spring compressor....man those things are dangerious....but if u have a impact gun...and a floor jack...it can be done in like 30min

Bluesman

Mantis check PM.

danny25

do you need a spring compressor with coilovers? Cause mantis has Zeal coilovers.

Bluesman

Hey Danny, I don't think so that should make for a 30 min job but I hate to say anything would just take 30 min.

ib_jimmy

coil-over? that's even easier.....u just unbolt everything except for the strut mount....unbolt the top bolt that holding the shock to the cap while having a floor jack under the suspension....then just lower the suspension and pull the spring/coilover out then take the shock out...no compressing or anything.

installing...just put everything in...jack up the suspension...line up the stock....and tighten that top bolt.

ib_jimmy

wait up is the Zeal coilover the full coilover?

Mantis u gonna replace it with another zeal coilover? if so its really easy to do urs.

ib_jimmy

we should all meet up at lake lewisview and have a BBQ.
