nope did it without. what i did was removed the break calaiber, removed the tie rod ends, removed end links. ( well cut them off lol ) un did strut, droped A arm down with a jack. after it was all the way down took and pry bar and with a little pop they poped right now. ( while we all stood off to the side lol )

nope. need to do that. brakes got nothing. did pull it out of the driveway just to see how bad it would scrape..my X pipe and the ground dont like each other much at all got to cut it ALOT in and out of my driveway.

my car is lowered 2 1/2 up front and 2 1/4 in back and my x pipe hits everything but the lottery i know how you feel, one day i was driving down the road and there way a pizza box in the middle of the road i went over it with the middle of the car over it and the bolts for the tranny mount on the tranny crossmember caught it and i dragged the pizza box for 2 miles till i got to a gas station to pull it out. i love the stance on my car but sometimes i wish it wasnt so low cuz of stuff like that and my blood curdling fear of speed bumps

ryan218 · Dec 29, 2008

yeah im worried about the speed bumps by the girl freinds house lol. i think i will have to go up a street so i dont have to go over them lol. just getting out of my car is a huge difference i have to push myself up and out haha. looks damn good though imo. ill deal with it.

rubbing. nope. only have pulled it in and out of my driveway to see if id make it up and down lol and its CLOSE but at full turn tires still have plenty of room. which suprises me but if i ever hit some big bumps in the front they would rubb so im going to roll the fender lips.

yupp. transmission is tucked away where my dad wont find it

t-5 with 80k on it. i think just to be safe im going to have it looked at. i bought it off the guy next door for cheapppppp he got it from his buddy and he said it drove fine and shifted smooth. still think ill have it looked at first. hoping to do the man peddle swap in the summer. probaly mid summer.

Toss some wheel spacers on out back, and larger tires (which it appears you have) and that car will look real nice!

Are you gonna pay someone to check out the trans? In my experiences, you cant tell if the synchros are shot unless you drive the trans. My brother did a five speed swap in his car and had a shop "check out" the trans and they told him it was fine. He put it in his car and sure enough, 2 ground like a ******. I'd say just pop it in and see how it goes. Oh an, if you need a pedal assembly, I would suggest PMing me.

Car looks great, stance looks awesome my 89 LX has that low stance and sometimes I hate it. The lower radiator support and bumper cover gets scraped all the time going in and out some of the parking lots because of the way they build roads down here.

ryan218 · Dec 31, 2008

thanks all. my buddie got a new digital cam so we tried it out on the ole 5.0

its REALLY dirty though =[

LaserSVT · Dec 31, 2008

Ryan, your engine bay looks really great!
It makes the little stuff stick out cause its so clean. Just a suggestion, paint the A/C bracket and a/c lines and it would look perfect

And nobody got you headlights for x-mas?

bentley429 · Dec 31, 2008

Yea deff get some headlights. Looking good.
