Yeah, it was the dash badge I saw that made me consider it (for about 10 seconds). I'm over it now...

LadyinBlue · 04-28-2010, 10:07 PM

Thank goodness, D_E! That was almost a major fashion faux pas for your ride... :-)

Sometimes my taste is all in my mouth.

Actually, I was just wanting to see how fast jr would scream "NO!"
Ain't I a stinker?

I will have to join this Ohio group sometime.

So if I make mod day who wants to install my headers and exhaust?

Exhaust is a snap. I have had mine off several times. Drew will be there and he installed his own headers so we can do that too!

If you want to install them, let us know so we can expect that and make sure we have enough time... Headers are about 2-3 hours. Exhaust is maybe an hour tops...

Don't worry about all the work going on... there are several people and everyone is very eagar to lend a hand. I can come as early as needed and stay until about 8ish if need be and its ok with Heinz!

is it just dirt/grim. 303 Protectant will clean it all, and not hurt anything.

I may have rims by then, suppose to be here the week of 5/10.

heinzd01 · 04-29-2010, 09:24 AM

I scanned the front and rear sway bar removal instructions from the Service Manual to pdf documents.

The rear sway bar removal is similar to the BMR instructions jrhaus76 sent me though there is no mention of possible removing the exhaust.

We may find the tip in the instructions "It maybe necessary to maneuver the stabilizer shaft in such a way to remove it from the vehicle", easier said than done.

Front Sway Bar

Rear Sway Bar

Are you kidding about the headers/exhaust, serious about bringing your headers/exhaust to mod day or still unsure if you will be coming?

We don't need an answer now but perhaps if you would let us know a week before.

Thanks!

should be a fun day of work! My shoulder is feeling better, I'm ready to rip some springs off!

I do also want to get a list of anyone that would like a CD/DVD of photos from C5F or the last Mod Day. I can bring them with me.

Darth_Emma · 04-29-2010, 10:46 AM

All of those "maybes" on springs and sway bars need to get off the fence and do eeeeeet! You will love it and your brakes will too!

Just dirt and dust. I live on a gravel road so it gets very dusty. I hope you have those wheels by then!

LOL... I talked to someone at C5F who said it was no big deal at all, front or rear. Time will tell.
