Wife went to bed early... Spent some quality time with my "other" lady... aaaand, detailed her engine bay?

Had my friend Manny paint the intake piping. He painted my wheels also. We installed them in his driveway on Tuesday. I want to say it took a couple hours.

Hey Wheels, do you know of any guys or yourself that could help putting swift springs on my Z? I'm still nervous doing it myself. I have only ever changed springs on a Cobalt before and even that turned into a nightmare.

I'm about ready to drive out to Buffalo and grab my exhaust from a friend. It's killing me to install everything.

I'm definitely down to help, although I've never actually done springs myself (just read TypeOne's DIY tho

) looks prett straight forward. My son is a Jr. Auto Tech and he's willing to jump in as well... So between the three of us i gotta think we can manage

I'm looking over the DIY for the install also. The spring compression is the only thing that worries me. I don't want myself or anyone loosing a finger haha. Your son sounds more competent then the 2 of us combined lol.

If you guys think it's doable between the 3 of us, i'm game. Cash? Beer? Taco Bell?

its easy just rent a spring compressor from autozone. Also if you can get your hands on a impact wrench it will cut the install time in half

Step 1: Rent tools
Step 2: Done

Yeah that was my only concern also... But renting that tool and having my son use it seems like the most logical thing to me... Doh!

Beer/tb/za... It's all good!

I agree on the spring compressor and my son has the impact tools... air compressor would be the issue tho

Get it straight.

DeliriousClam · 05-06-2016, 06:01 PM

Saw it sitting in the body shop lot because it takes 6 days to refinish a Nismo wing. I guess I can't complain too much considering how much they're charging me for COMPLETELY refinishing it (entire coat of bondo, sand, primer, custom paint to match given sun exposure, and clear-coat)

jchammond · 05-07-2016, 05:46 PM

Put my Tread on today & retorqued all bolts underneath...got rear camber around -1.0* gonna get it on the rack this week & have it ck'd.
Toe eccentric bolts wouldn't allow me go anymore.
Rides & handles Great!
