Washed it and vacuumed seemingly 20lbs of dog hair out of it. How does their hair get in there? They have never been in the Z.


Freaking long haired hippy dawgs.

As for me, washed it and until it felt like my hands were going to be frostbitten.

Also, new slotted rotors and Stoptech pads on all 4 corners.

But discovered a bushing on the drivers' side lower control arm is messed up.

That saying, time to do research, but I'll throw this out... anyone know of a reliable site to get a good price on an LCA?

Thanks
just replace the bushing with a whiteline bushing, or SPL if you want solid.

Well I'm thinking that china crap is going to go bye bye and hell sparco bar as this one is nothing but a headache, clearly didn't do my research before the purchase of the bar! Live and learn... Just wish I didn't have to drill and tap/welding a plate to the tranny tunnel.

Guess you didn't research how to properly install a harness either. I believe G-Force has great instruction on their site.

You actually need to weld in 2 plates, unless your running a 6 point, then its 3 plates.

Good example of not the right way http://www.marcanthonyross.com/2012/...the-right-way/

soon, still in the early stages. it will extend from right above the toe bolts on the subframe, and connect to the rear crash bar. its also gonna cover up this big gap behind the rear bumper where there are all sorts of turbulence.
