Re: :::Nordic97mist::: 1997 Base

well heres the pics! fronts before...  all gone :D  stock set before...  new set!  and finally, fronts now :D  i was only able to get the fronts installed. the rear shocks are on backorder...so idk when ill get around to doing them. i dont have pics of it though b/c i have the gc's set to a 2" drop, but im guessing b/c the rears are still stock and the springs are so fresh they have to settle and when the rears get put on it will drop and what not

Re: :::Nordic97mist::: 1997 Base
Thanks man! Means alot. A year ago when i bought the car i didnt know much about cars at all. Since then i guess you can say ive "grown nuts" and basically go at it now. I love it
some work from today got that header and downpipe off finally!  no more header!  just messin with the ps/alt brackets so i can paint them nice and black. also pulled the a/c compressor  these parts will be for sale soon. pm me if your interested until i make a thread for them  and the garage under work!

Re: :::Nordic97mist::: 1997 Base
Thanks guys! As far as future plans, its alot lol. Basically a complete re-do of the car through and through. First step in that will be the oem lsd tranny swap. I have a general idea but thats about it

Re: :::Nordic97mist::: 1997 Base
whoa there. that header, it's a bit of a pain. i'll give you tips now.
1. you're probably gonna have to get a custom testpipe/flex pipe combo. 2. after you do install it and get it all nice, if you notice a shaking in neutral and ****ty performance, it's it's hitting the crossmember. 3. if you find it's hitting the crossmember, drop it(the crossmember), get an angle grinder and grind some away and that should fix you're bad problems. PM me if you have questions. i'm battling this header now.
