Shhh... there is a second mod day at JDs I am going to as well. He needs some help with his intercooler or something and we are going to give my car the shaft. Plus I think we may have a plethora of suspension parts to put on Trav2SS' car.

On the 28th I will mostly be helping and giving those who dont have the access my lift time. Always thinking of others!

I do my burnouts in my driveway. The chips can't say anything out me being a hooligan in my own property. There be plenty of gun fire, burnouts, riding wheelies on my street bikes and generally having a good time around my place :-)

Sounds like my place!

Trav2SS · 03-25-2012, 08:07 AM

Yes we do have quite a few parts to throw on, I am thinking we can do the easy ones before hand on some Friday or Saturday night though [braces/sways/strut/.. which would leave the bushings/toes/trailings for the bigger day. Just gotta make sure we have all the right tools from the right people

IROCanSS · 03-25-2012, 08:22 AM

This is the list I got from Kilo-9:

-Subframe bushings - Best done dropping the rear end. Need a sawz-all with a few blades. Other items that can be done when rear end is out:
-Differential bushings - need CincySpeed tool (JD or Chris has this)
-Sway bars/links - I believe all you need for this are a few metric wrenches

Other easy stuff:
-Steering rack mount bushing - 5 minute job
-Strut tower brace - this takes about an hour or so, not too tough
-Subframe connectors - Simple
-Trailing arms - I dont believe this mess with aligmment

-Toe arms - These are super easy but you will need an aligmnment ASAP. We can do a better job than we did on JDs as we will mark the bolts better but it will still be out... just not 2"

This stuff "MAY" require a press to make it easier:
-Lower control arm bushings -

-Front radius rod bushings -

-Front control arm bushings -

one for every angle.

Trav2SS · 03-25-2012, 08:44 AM

Yea, the alignment would be a day/drive home away for me. My toes/trailings all are not of the adjustable type as the car is not going to be lowered, just direct replacement. hopefully make it slightly more easier to mark and less of a problem

It's nice to see people referring to things the "American Way" here. I could not stand "bush" and "bushes" when I had my GTO. Damn Pedders leg-humpers, anyway...

Where I come from, the word "bush" has a totally different meaning.

Nothing sticking out in my mind other than Starlite Friday night (not sure what the "featured" cars are that weekend, though.

Certainly seems like a good excuse for everyone to get together, though!

Always the first thing I thought of, too. And who wants that type of bush, anyway?

Trav2SS · 03-25-2012, 10:03 AM

I believe starlite doesn't start to mem. day :/ Not sure if the calender is up yet.

Speaking of bush, my 2 cats just went thru a screen in a open window and fell 2 storys in a bush. Crazy things, there fine thankfully and we caught them but now have 8 lives remaining.. Of corse a neighbor came out to see why I was running back and forth in front of their window while I was trying to catch the one lol
