Hey guys I'm thinking about installing my springs do ya know of a place that might do it ? Also should i drop it before I install my 19's or after ?? I got the Tein S-Tech bought them used a while back but didnt want to install them when I had my 20's

Ralphie: definitely before!
Emmanual and I are installing his coilovers sometime soon.

Emmanual: I work mon-friday 7am-4 but gym till 630pm.

Saif: Cant wait for your car, bro! whats your first name? and we'll def. have to play mw2 soon.

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

Why before ?? just curious I always thought it was better to drop the car after it had the wheels on. When are you doing the installing ? I'm down I'll bring beer lol

justnspace

aftermarket wheels look horrible with a gap.....I just re-read your post, and it seems like you have both springs and wheels in your possession. If I was doing the install, I'd take off your stock wheels, install the springs, then install the aftermarket wheels, for sake of efficiency.

Cuz I wouldnt want to put on your aftermarket wheels, just to take them off again. know what im sayin?
And I'm only free on the weekends. Emmanual is talkin about tomorrow or thursday, which I'm not able to do.

SaifTL

Justin,i was thinking bout installing it b4 my pops gets back here on friday but since ur always busy most of the time during weekdays..I guess we'll set the install meet for Saturday;i can buy beer too as long as one of u guys go with me haha,cuz i got a walmart gift card with $100 bucks on it.

NOTE: I'm posting from my phone so i might have some typos.

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

Oh I gotcha Justin, thanks bro makes sense.

Saif, Justin was plannin an install day where we can all get together and help each other out. Now about your headlights maaan my bro did mine and that just take lots of time and patience.

Justin do you know how to install Springs ? If you work on Emmanuel car this weekend let me know perhaps we can do my springs also

SaifTL

Yea man i was thinking of just buying them.. i was looking on ebay and there going for around 550 with hid bulbs i might do that in the future..

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

Damn saif, it seems like you have lots of money.
I'll do the head lights! and you can just "donate" to my camera fund!

Saturday sounds good. Emmanual, you wanna come over to my crib sat. morning?

Also, guys I'm starting a car wash. I will wash, dry, clay, and wax your car.
Ask me for more details.

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Ralph,i hate installing springs (almost did once but my dad didnt like the idea cuz he said its dangerous) but we can all do the install as long as u rent the spring compressor from autozone or something.

Saif,i didnt know those headlights are that expensive for cleared ones..we can all just do it. much cheaper that way.

Justin,sure i'll come over on Saturday morning. Text me ur add,and also PM me on more infos on ur detailing. possible discount?

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

Yeah thats what I've heard about the Springs I might just wait on it, do ya know of a place where it can be done at ??

Justin, give me more details on the car wash

Emmanuel, do those coilovers fit a 3G TL ? I think I read somewhere that they fit our 3G's but I could be wrong. If so how much did they run you if you dont mind ?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I would love to do yours. cuz it looks like mine!

marcba89

iTrader: (1)

i need a clay and a serious wash/wax =/

SaifTL

The last thing i am is rich man lol, that would be cool if you guys can do it and i donate, but i hope yall know what your doing!

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

LOL the internet is at my fingertips. If i'm not sure, there are plenty of DIY's on clearing headlights.
all we do is just put them in the oven at 320 for 20 mins.
But like ralph said, its pretty time consuming and being patient will have its rewards.

I'll even do mine with yours.

SaifTL

Well see man.. you seem really confident in doing mods on your own! this aint no geometry problem this is real shit lol haha! i also wanted to do halos.

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

^ ok Saif I think by doing halos you are asking too much lol,

00TL-P3.2

New on here, just picked up a 2000 TL-P w/ factory navi on Sunday. Few little issues to work out with it, but happy so far.

SaifTL

Hahaaha! well if we were gonna tear open the headlight to clear it might as well put halos in them hoes haha

Dat Boi Ralph

Congrats bro, welcome

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

Do it, Do it, Do it !!!!

SaifTL

hahahaha! see what i mean ^

I have screw type spring compressors. I installed mine and Ricardo's H&R coilovers. You need air tools or electric impact to compress though. No way you want to do that by hand.

You guys are welcome to borrow the compressors if needed...

nspec_ya4

iTrader: (38)

^is that a mobile compressor? just plugs in?

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Just borrowed my lil cousins laptop,i contacted HP bout my charger adaptor and they ordered me a nw one;so it should be here thursday.
I read that you 3G guys hav a different top hats and different size of lower bolts. So if you get those from a 3G then it'll work. i got mine from Throwdown Performance for $675 shipped.
If you wanna do the halos be prepared to do the wiring lol,we could prolli hook it up but you'll have to figure out the way u wanna wire them up.
Welcome bro,grats on the pick up.

Thanks for the offer bro,we'll definitely need an air compressor cuz we were actually gonna just use our bare muscles to take off any crazy bolts. Like Nauman asked,is it mobile?

powerflow

I was only referring to my spring compressors. There the screw type, so an air impact gun is def needed.

My air compressor does have wheels, I guess you guys could borrow it. It's a 5 HP, 30 gal or something close to that. It pretty big to transport.

I was thinking of selling it too. It's a loud mother trucker, and I just moved into a condo/townhouse. I don't have neighbors yet, but it's only a matter of time.

Bada$$VTEC

iTrader: (1)

Haha dang it,i guess we cant use it then cuz none of us have trucks to pick it up with; and we're not even planning on disturbing neighbors lol.
I guess we're just going to stick to out manly muscles lol,i just hope we're still able to get them out tho.

EDIT: Come to think of it,when i was first installing my RSB last year;i used my muscles to get the bolt screwed to the shock and end links out. (I was a n00b doing it then)

Dat Boi Ralph

iTrader: (1)

I guess if we ya can borrow the compressor perhaps I can put on the springs this weekend let me know guys

powerflow

Yeah your going to need air tools or electric impact for any screw type spring compressor. The spring compressor is needed to remove the old spring, then again for the new spring install, or swapping the top hat. So that 8 times for all 4 corners. There is 2 screws for the spring compressor too, no way I would do that by hand. It's like clock work with a impact though.

powerflow

You could find someone with a smaller compressor though, if you have an air impact gun. There pretty common.

kostya.lyt

iTrader: (1)

I did my springs without any impact tools, and I used the screw-type spring compressors from Autozone. It's kind of a PITA, but not too bad, just take a bit longer. The most time consuming part is getting out the back seat and getting to the top bolts, IMO.

I could possibly swing by and give you guys a hand, time permitting.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

I actually have a small air compressor, but dont have the impact gun.

nspec_ya4

iTrader: (38)

badassvtec, u dont need any air tools to do the coilovers on your car. just a little bit of torque to brake the bolts loose at first, after that its all easy. but either way, if u can get air tools, they always make things a lot easier.
