Default Redline's low tC..... *56k..The boogey man is in here*

yeah, Justin brouhgt the tcby, and we had 4+ hours of fun, this was the first tC that i have ever gotten to lay my hands,i believe that it went rather smoothly i believe

here are some pics


this car has no idea what is about to happen


damn swaybar endlink


"ok now how do i put all these back together"


in with the new, shiny green springs


pulled out to back in to do the rear, thats a bad rake


the rake again, who needs bags when you can only put two springs on


front stock


front lowered


even got Justin to get his hands dirty


werd (why im posing with a car that is being taken apart, i dont know)


old vs New


there are two of the bolts, wheres the third


yeah, gotta take that panel off, EASIER SAID THEN DONE


yeah, everything must go

done, done, done, done, AND IM NEVER DOING TC SPRINGS AGAIN

christ yes. but see, after saying that too, putting on the trds, i had to do it again to put the stocks back on.

genius method: i lined up the top bolts along with a line on the driveway, looking from above, and using a marker to mark where the bushing angle was at on all four sides. then just adjusted a couple of degrees once installed. if only i thought of that hours ahead of time.

let me just say..what a freaking B***H it was to do the rear springs...independent suspension can kiss my rear end haha

it took us at least a good 3 1/2 hrs to do the rear each side :-D
just playing but it took the time..but the front only took us maybe an hour total

Dude that is just weird. I finished dropping my FM tC tonight too. Not a whole lot of pics but it was still pretty interesting. The rear was easy. The ripping the insode of it was the arduous part. I snapped the head off the bold that hold the dangling clip/hook thingy on the passenger side below the taillights.
