If you have a floor jack there is no need for the spring compressor... I've put Swift springs on a GD and another Fit Freak's GE, without a spring compressor.

 

I've heard that advice multiple times but when it's a free rental why not? plus i would rather not put any stress on those last few threads while youre taking off the nut. its not the amount of pop im worried about just the chance of ruining the threads. It was a wise investment (free) for both the cars i've done it on. To each his own though

 

(insert sinister lol here)

 

his gf's car got broken into, inwhich he had his spare key. you can connect the dots from there

 

thursday i'm off so it would be sweet if we can do a mini-meet and work on our fits

still gotta do the HIDs and independent fogs on mine




i can bring my jack/stands if he needs em for the springs

 

im sorry to hear that bud. I hope u have good luck finding all in one piece.

any car can be stolen no matter what. If someone really wants it they will get it. Ya there might be things that make it harder... Chipped keys, alarms, the club.... I know that people nowadays are using tow trucks. Anyone can get them and they will just load ur car up and take it where no one will find it. It sucks that u cant have anything nice cause there is always someone that has to ruin it.

 

Thursday might work, if 330 ish isnt too late. Im off at 230 and i work in pleasanton.

we can start off with the car washes so we dont loose sunlight!

I have floor jack and jack stands, but maybe an extra pair might be good from what i read in the DIY. ill look if i have the allen key

oh and ill go buy parts for the fogs too! what HID kit are you installing?

so will 330 ish work?

 

yeah but we'll do the springs at 330

 

i have a 6mm allen so don't worry about buying one if you don't have one.

i might need to bring my jack anyways (low profile) to get off my bumper. not 100% sure i can get off all the clips in order to remove it when it's as low as it is


the HID kit is the 3G from xenith xenons. same that Ryan has but a different temperature (8000k). he's the guinea pig, always does the mods first then i follow

 

Okay we have everything we need then, jayroc it might be a good idea to go buy some rust buster from an autoparts store and spray it on 8 very stubborn nuts. the ones on the rear that are at the bottom of the plate that hold the rear springs. the two on each side in the front that hold the knuckle assembly to the strut. and the ones that hold the sway bar in the front. two in the rear 6 in the front. it's neccessary. i had to pay 35 bucks for a shop to use their air tools to break them loose cuz my hand tools couldn't do it. spray them on wed night.

chris we can work on your stuff anytime after 930 and maybe have time to take a drive through some curvy roads

 

10am sounds like a plan

 

Sure is, it's an old GT Agressor I turned into a single speed with slicks!

 

got my new deck put in today finely. tank of gas and a car wash as well. now i just have to tune the system and subs.

 

washed and vacuumed my fit today and cleaned the engine bay a little bit. need to wax it someday but im still doing my research on that part, im so confused now that i've read some info on car care

 

I don't know how to change the grey portion. Do you know a cheap and effective way of doing so?

 

I have about 3 GTs. My favorite is a chrome plated Timberline made in 1987.. It was their top of the line bike at the time.. I owned a couple of bike shops not long after buying it so it has gone through all kinds of changes but I still have the original oval chain rings fore and aft adjustable seat post and headset.. Everything else is crazy old school stuff that you would have to see to believe.

 

Just picked up a coil spring compressor and some pb blaster for tomorrows project!

 

i'd go ahead and put the PB buster on the nuts now, that way it'll have time to sit in. hit all the nuts you can see on the susp assymbly as ryan said earlier

are you going to bring your jack and stands tomorrow?

 

got my new stereo system all tuned today and cleaned up what the car wash missed yesterday.now i need to save up more money to buy more parts yeay, lol

 

Got rained out at work today SOOOO....Got these from honda because mine broke loose.




At the moment im doing this to make behind rims look better. Semi Gloss Black. Also got rid of VTEC SOHC stickers. Im now stickerless,except my facebook one on windshield that is not coming off!!!!




Will be doing front calipers next once rear dries and rims go on.
