I have replaced both of my leader hoses and I have a spair just incase something goes wrong again. I thought it was how I had my set up, but I guess it was the hose....

Buddy, i say you Get vince (bigpoppa) on the .org, to custom fiberglass you a dash, with custom gauges (where they are, or in front of the steering wheel) that would be awesome.

so i got the car rebagged... here are some pics

AND YES, these pics are taken in a Crappy Tire... I get free labor there, so its like my own massive garage with lifts... I love it.

I'm just going to copy what i typed in another forum and post it here...

So i got the easy street kit and its now installed...

stock ride height

dropped

Also thats me in the pic (I look like a grumpy bitch), but for a height reference I am 6' maybe 6'1" with those boots.

and heres a pic in my drive way with a 500ml water bottle to give you another comparison

EWWWW

You shop at Canadian Tire? Gay.

But it looks better than it did. I hope it rides better because from what I remember I'd rather get suprise buttsecks then anal raped by your car.

artsar · 03-18-2009, 02:33 PM

so turns out driving 1000km with a bad alignment turns winter tires into slicks... who would have known

no more winters = RIM TIME!

heres the car lifted

Impulse · 03-18-2009, 02:47 PM

The list right now is

paint
clean up truck
put stereo back in
clean the car
new windsheild
new seats/other interior goodies
motor work

thats pretty much it. By the time i even get to the motor the car will probobly have like 120,000-130,000k on it so maybe a motor swap... who knows

RollinLo64 · 03-19-2009, 07:19 PM

its an ecotec, throw a turbo on it and some nitrous, they love turbo's and nitrous!! just build it right, don't take short cuts all i have to say!! and get a 5spd for it!! thats my .02

artsar · 03-19-2009, 10:00 PM

i was thinking of getting a saab turbo, but who knows. Its always an idea

artsar · 11-17-2009, 03:23 PM

I thought I had updated this, but I guess not. Obviously I have given up on the air and started to switch over to hydros (for those that have read my other threads).

Well the other day I got my pump/battery rack from Mindliss. I got it sanded down a bit and then just cleared it. Now that I have it mounted in the car and I see how it sits (bit different then I thought, but sometimes the minds eye tricks you when designing something.

More importantly I got the begining to my new rear swing arm in place (Joel I should have more work for you tomorrow

)

I'm off to Crappy Tire to get something to un seize some bolts and possibly some polisporin. My hands are on fire from hitting the concrete a few times. Modding with hand tools is no fun, especially removing an entire swing arm.

To all of those who complain about working on their car in the cold. Notice where my car is? I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to shovel 3 feet of snow off the car at some point.

PS: Shea I hate you... you come over and convince me to work on the car in the nice weather and in a matter of 24 hours the back end of the car is stripped. I am way to easy to persuade.

artsar · 11-17-2009, 03:27 PM

Also some slightly bad news, I put a rim and tire in place to see what I could get drop wise with this rear swing arm. I'm only looking at maybe 1/2 an inch at the most. Unless I want to get into moving the gas filler neck and tubing the trunk/doors alot I'm not getting much more drop. I figure I'll go for as much drop as I can and just slam the shit outt of the front of the car. Either way it will be the lowest ion around.
