I was on my way to the gym the other day and saw this GA parked at a BP on the corner of Walton and Rochester... It looked like an SE with GT rims and possibly GT side cladding, but definitely an SE bumper... sorry for the bad pic, it was snapped really quick from a pretty good distance with my camera phone...

PS - The wing adds 15 horsepower... :boogie:

Hodge 01-28-2005 06:19 AM

yeah ryan with the GTP it was wierd..

joe i saw u the other day turning onto perry from the light, the tail lights look good! watch out for getting robbed, 4 cars got there back windows broken and a guy stole some goodies inside.. (at oakland tech)

notsoaveragej0e 01-28-2005 06:47 AM

thanks!

i dont have anything worth takin besides my radar detector in my car, and i usually take that down and put it in my glove box when i park somewhere. A friend of mine with the exact same car and tinted windows got his window blown out and his radar detector stolen while his car was parked in his driveway, and that was in Rochester. Oh well, sh!t happens....

Hodge 01-28-2005 07:55 AM

yeah thats gay, luckily i didn't get hit that day because my car was by the shop not in the parking lot.

hey guys, i'm gonna buy the KYB Struts and Intrax Springs in like the next few days. My auto-tech teacher was being a bitch and said i couldn't install them there cause we are modifying the suspension he was like oh u need a camber kit blah blah and it ****ed the hell out of me. cause i know i don't need a camber kit, i'm just gonna tell him my springs and struts are shot so i'm gonna change em. but it seems like a relatively easy job and i hope it is. with the KYB struts should i try them without the washer first or should i go out and buy them?? luckily i'll have air tools and a spring compressor and i'll be doing it on a lift so it will be nice.

a few questions, should i get boots too? are they neccessary? and if they crackle and pop i'm gonna need to get new bushings. but if you have any words of advice i'd apprecaite it. Thanks guys -

i did mine at my school. it took forever, probably a total of 5-6 hours spread over 2 days (had to skip some classes). used the stock boots and strut mounts as well. i would get some aftermarket boots, however, if i were to do it again. maybe even the mounts too.

Hodge 02-07-2005 04:50 PM

damn i'm hoping it won't take that long... what took forever? it seems easy on the how-to.

xxbackhillxx 02-07-2005 05:13 PM

it shouldnt take that long, but we kept running into problems removing the stock struts in the rear and then reinstalling the kyb's. the front only took 1-2 hrs, mostly because we knew what we were doing that time around.

Hodge 02-07-2005 06:59 PM

have u had any problems with the kybs?

AaronGTR 02-08-2005 02:32 PM

I can do all 4 in about 2 hours ;), of course... I've done 3 or 4 sets of them too. It really shouldn't take that long. Especially with a lift and the right tools. Stock mounts and boots will work. The KYB boots are just a nice little extra but more money and not necessary. Make sure to remember to trim the bump stops in the stock boots before you re-install them. Also, I've never had a problem with my KYB's, but some people have, so you might as well install the washers while you're doing it. There is enough thread on the shaft to put them under the nut, and washers are cheap. Just make sure and get the right size. Should be a big diameter without a hole too much larger than the shaft, and not too thin. Probably could find some that will work at home depot. Other than that it's pretty straight forward. Install 'em and get it alligned. They can do it just fine, and a camber kit is NOT required. Tell your shop teacher he's smokin' something. lol

Hodge 02-08-2005 03:47 PM

lol that is funny yeah he said today that we can do it and i'm going to order the intrax springs tomorrow and kyb struts and boots. hopefully the install will go smooth, and we won't run into any problems, i'll probably do the back one day it depends on how fast we can do it... and then the front the next but i hope i can do that ****. imma print the how-to and then i'm sure i will get help from my shop teachers

i'm not gonna install the washers, but if i need to i will

AaronGTR 02-08-2005 10:03 PM

FYI, if you do order the KTB boots, they are not two piece like the stockers. Stock is a plastic boot with a foam rubber bump stop slid inside it. The KYB is a one piece rubber boot with the bump stop incorporated into it (molded as one), therefore you can't trim the bottom of the bump stop as required. I trimmed the top of the bump stop instead, but you can't take off as much as instructed because the top snaps into the top strut mount plate and you have to leave enough on it. It's not a big deal though. You can cut off about 3mm with a hacksaw and they will work fine.

Hodge 02-09-2005 12:58 PM

right now i have no idea what ur talking about but i hope i will when i get them in my hands
