I've got Sportlines on order. Just wondering if anyone in toon has the space, tools and time to help a brotha out when they get here.

 

Depends... when and how long...?

 

I'll ask around at Sherwood tomorrow.

 

exnay. lol

 

haha warranty issues may arise?

 

i'm not sure, supplier will have them to my house in 4-5 business days as soon as they get them in stock. i'm thinking within a few weeks. And i've done springs before, in my Eclipse. i did it by myself at a friends shop after hours, took me 6 hours. I didn't use a spring compressor either. So i'm thinking with some help, i could have it done in half that time.

The only warranty issue would be on shocks i'm thinking. i can't see them voiding warranty on anything else. maybe control arms if they wanted to get picky. but ya, that's why i say exnay.

 

Can you rent a spring compressor?

 

yes you can, but i don't think i need one. all i did with my eclipse, was i stood on the shock, and just gave 'er with the impact until the top nut spun off. the recoil on it was very small. as long as you have a good grip on the impact and solid footing on the assembly, it's pretty easy.

 

Another alternative i hear is stand on it then use vise grips.

If you need any help, let me know. Always good practice for when I get mine in the future.

 

tried that. they wouldn't hold.

 

Well, the shop here at work is frickin huge, and I have access to it after hours and all weekend....
I don't think I'm too busy this weekend, if they come in by then.

 

WTF.. no compressor??? ur nuts.. i would go rent one.. i did my in under a hr when i did mine.. i would be careful the ones u rent from partsource are ****!!!! just about killed me a couple of times on other cars.. i used one that was made for saab springs form my buddies dearlership.. it worked like a charm.. but chances of u getting one like that is slim... just use the compressor.. and try not getting hurt!!! good luck

 

I might be a little nuts ya,lol. honestly tho, the recoil on my eclipse springs was very small and not even dangerous imo.

 

I'm gonna see if I can borrow one from my dealership. Make life easier.

BTW BuCa, just picked up a copy of your cd from Curtis at P+ and its dope. He also tried to sell me the wheels you didn't want which are also hot ****.

 

Ya those rims are pretty nice. If MKW didn't have the M72's i got, i would have taken the M71's that are sittin at P+ right now.

BUY THEM!!! lol

 

Ya I wouldn't even think about doin those without a compressor.

 

I'm so tempted for the at cost price he is giving me. Do you have a photoshopped pic of what they look like on the car?

 

no i don't. post a side pic of your car and a pic of the rims on 306, and someone will probably be able to PS for ya, like they did mine. PM robby aka GMMTC or something like that.

 

No one is being very helpful.....

 

be patient. somebody will doa good one within a few days.

btw, feel free to prop my new mix on there....

 

hey, is it a dance mix? i love dance music! (i barley ever turn off XM 81) What CD did you put out?

 

club mix Vol.6

Sorry, no dance on this one, just mainstream hip hop. I'm gonna maybe work on a house mix soon tho.

 

nevermind. order cancelled. had to financially bail out a friend. Springs are on the back burner for a bit.

 

Good old 306...
Join today to get in on the big discussions about bodykits, fart cans, and wings!!!

 

It's not so bad anymore, a lot of the "senior" members have grown up. Now we mostly talk about interesting ****, and flame noobs who talk about fart cans and spoilers and body kits :P
