Hey Lori!! Not sure if Rich told ya, but I am going to make you up some roll restrictors. I still have to install my rear one, and I have my new front. So, all I have to do is install my rear, fill them up and let them set.

When we talked today, we decided that we will have to make plans to meet up and I will clean out the intake for you as well. So, maybe we can do both at the sametime.

Also, think about getting some rear poly bushings for the rear swaybar and endlinks. Both the roll restrictors and the swaybar bushings were the best mods I have done to my car... for the money anyway. $10 bucks for the stuff to fill my roll restrictors and $10.50 for the bushings.

Look at me, just skipping all the nice stuff and jumping straight to the mods... making like a little kid and being all rude!!

Congrats on the ride!!

Oh hell... I'm all giddy inside! I haven't been able to work on mine in like forever. My birthday is on the 4th, so keep that in mind when making plans... Hint! BBQ... HINT! HINT!

Sounds like a good idea...Mid october good??? We have stuff going on the beginning and end of October....Chattanooga next weekend to go to the aquarium....Chattanooga the end of the month to go see the Blue Angels and BBQ sounds VERRY Good!!!!!

And oh yeah, the mods!!! We figured out yesterday how to do the rear brakes and rotors...someone said PITA....I will leave it at that.... umm let's just say that 6 hours is a bad record for me doing brakes. First wheel pass side did not want to come off...started having bad recollections of people having their wheels stuck on for one reason or another and major surgery to remove them... just had to grunt and pull kick and pull and it fought and came off. Ok so now to the caliper for the rear brakes. After figuring out I started working on the wrong bolt (thanks to fastcougar.com) I started working on the right two bolts. Got them out and the pass caliper off and now to remove the rotor...GGGGRRRUNT...now to remove the rotor.....ummmm NOW to remove the...wait I need more tools....go to get the hammer!!!! GRRRR Bang on rotor hub a couple times...then pull and then bang on the lug studs and pull and voila it is off...ugh so after figuring out how to put the pads on and fighting fighting and fighting more they were on on both sides and I bled a bit, bought some more tools and can say that has been done...really wanted to put some ceramic pads on it but we could not find someone with ceramic local and the other pads were GONE!!!

Anyway
Fun fun fun
Rich
