They look good. Can’t wait to install them. Got bunch more things to take care for the track before I get around to it.

When you install the hood vents. The cross bar under the hood. Everyone cuts that a little different. Once you have the vents installed. Put the shield up against the bottom on the vent. Start from the back to get iy seated. Look at the front of the shield. You will see where it's hitting the cross bar. This is where you have to trim the sides of the shield back with tin snips to get the front to seat. Places marked in yellow. Then put your zip-ties up from the bottom and loop around the center bar of the vent and put it back down through the other hole. I can install all 4 of mine in about 10 minutes. The shield are designed so that the water runs towards the front of the engine. In the empty space. They will also let air flow through them too. But not as much.

This is mostly due to you being a Baller back in the day. Since, your said status has been revoked. Hotrodz still has his status.

No, that's the secret Stihl prototype bolt on. I'm a Beta tester for them. :tup:

I got some big bones and some Ti in my rump. I don't know if i would fit.

yaoxiao4 11-19-2018 04:05 PM

hm i guess it depends on waist size, I'm about a 32 and i still have quite bit of room, I've had people with around 34-35 that say its a pretty tight fit but holds well

the main problem with these reclining buckets is that you cant really use harness

If and when I get new seats. They have to be able to use with a harness.

How bad were the SPL subframe solid bushings to install? I am thinking about getting them done at MA while they have everything torn apart. Did you have any noise issues?

They're still sitting on the bench. :shakes head: I never got around last winter to install them. I'm going to be tackling these in about 2 weeks. With your neck. I would let MAM install them. I don't think there is anyway to install them without dropping the sub-frame. I'm going to make a cradle to fit my floor jack to make it easier to lower and lift the sub-frame in place. To drop the sub-frame. You have to; remove the tires, calipers, rotors, disconnect the e-brake cable at the e-brake shoes, exhaust pipes, drive shaft, frame bracing. Unplug the speed sensors at the diff. Remove the lower shock bolt. Then undo the 4 nuts that hold the sub-frame in place. Once the sub-frame is down. Use a deep holesaw to cut the center out. Then a sawzall to cut the shell. Just like a diff bushing. Remove the shell. Clean up the hole and use a ball joint press to install the new bushing. That's the way I'm going to do it.

Figure about a good weekend.

Spooler 01-09-2019 09:18 PM

That is exactly why I was going to let them do it. LOL I already have a diff cooler and DSS pro level axles for them to install. Why they are at it. Might as well.

I was under the car to install my diff cooler and tweaked my neck. I said F'it. I will let them do it.
