Thanks!

My dad and I took my car out to cruise and put some miles on her on fathers day..
My dad wants to drive atleast 100 miles before we start the cam swap that way if theres any other problems we can take care of them while the motors somewhat torn apart..
Anyways heres where we ended up on fathers day...

AC wasnt working, so we took the car to the auto part store to recharge it. When i started the car to turn the AC on while we charged it i heard a loud ticking so i shut her off..
Looked under the car and saw it was leaking oil:

The cars so low in the front it hit the K&N oil filter and put a hole in it.
So we had to buy rhino ramps, fram oil filter (Much shorter than k&n), and more oil..
I think im going to sell the sportlines and run bmr 1.25 drop springs or raise the front 1/2in using bmr shock spacers.

Today i installed the B&M short throw. only got one pic.

The shift knob on my stock shifter wont come off so now i need to buy a new shift knob

sucks about the oil filter...but be warned, Fram oil filters suck.

Yea forgot to menion whenever we start it (With the fram oil filter) it starts to drip oil from the top of it. So we need to figure out that now.
Whats a good oil filter? Mobile 1?

dmginc · 06-24-2012, 06:03 PM

i used a K&N in my TA, Mobil 1 should be pretty good too. the top of Fram oil filters are made out of cardboard.

I honestly wouldn't put a Fram oil filter on my lawn mower lol.
The best choice for a oil filter in your LSX engine would be
either a AC Delco or Mobil 1 oil filter they are both recommended by GM.
Also Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil is endorsed and highly recommended by
GM engineering.
