Yea man I know what you mean. I have had most of my bigger mods done by a muffler shop, but the small things like painting stuff I have done myself. Painting my calipers took some time, but they came out great. Its satisfying to do your own work, you appreciate it more.

 

exactly my thoughts. we are gonna try and get the strut and spring apart again this week but if i can't then im just gonna have to take it in

 

Where a Skirt or Sundress and then all you have to do is squat.

 

Hahaha. I would only do something like that on a road trip or something. It's alright, I'll make Ninja find me somewhere to pee. hahhaa. I wont be the only girl that will need that.

 

yea we are going to give it another go. I got some more tools, so I think we will be able to take them out. Pictures of Cosemetic mods comming up.

 

to easy use a high torque impact wrench, that bolt will come right off, thats what i did.

 

thats what we are gonna do. Jusday didnt have one, but i got one and we are gonna try it again.

Here is everything Jusday and I did yesterday for about 7 hours haha.
1. Blacked Out Taillights(not too black, its just right )
2. Air Damn on Rear Bumber made Gloss black
3. Side Markers blacked out with Chevy Emblem.
4. Painted top of headlights so black would flow with engine.
5. Painted Bowties

 

Lookin' good. Can't wait to see it at the meet.

 

looks good, you should paint the white on the ss black. and i know that ive gone back and forth on this so many times but i think im gonna go to the meet, im gonna come back from vacation early so i can make it

 

I just hope I get my car by the 1st.....
He called on Thursday and said 10 days until the exhaust comes in. Hopefully thats calendar days and not working days.

 

I hope so...are you still gonna go (catch a ride with someone) if you don't have your car??

Yay!! Finally you've made up your damn mind!! hahha jk

 

it has been a very tough decision , but now that i know im getting my license back next monday, im going to drive myself on vacation and come back early to have some fun! what should i bring?

 

I'll still come.

 

Dang dude who did your mods? Those look pro . I'll give ya a call later. and I'll post up some of the pics of my mods in a few guys!

 

If you don't have a High torque impact I have a very simple solution:
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...Picture055.jpg

You take the 13/16 1/2 in" drive spark plug socket and remove the rubber thing from inside of it.

Then you a 3/8 extension in slide the 13/16 socket onto the extention.

Now you put your 3/8 T45 or T60 Torx head on the 3/8 extention.

And your done you now have a tool that will hold the Torx head and allow you to break the strut nut free.

Once the nut if broken free you can use an impact to finish removing it.

That's how I did my Sportlines.

I hope this helps.

 

a great option

 

Thank you sir.
Sorry I don't how to make the pics show up in the tread with having to click on the link.
I would learn that trick one of these days.

 

i would not have even thought of that! as long as i have the tools i might try and get the sportlines off the old strut base before myself and DrP work on my car again this week. thanks man!

oh and i upload my pics to photobucket and then use the image code. you copy and paste the IMG code straight into your post and they will show up

 

here, take a look at this
I quoted your post and changed the [url] to [img]

 

Sweet Thanks Guys.

Maybe I'll do a whole how to right up on the sportlines.

Hey check out this pic: My Car is floating on air.


Hey I like those tail light. Not too dark but dark enough to still beable to see them. How coats of Night shade is that?

 

haha quite an interesting picture... i would definetely enjoy the write up if you did one! and I used VHT nightshade and i did only 2 to 3 light coats followed by 2 to 3 heavy coats of acrylic clear coat. the light smoked effect was what i was shooting for and i think it came out pretty well. matches the car fine!

 

Along to the addition of the mods Jusday and I did yesterday, I painted my brake calipers they turned out pretty good. and I have alot of red paint left too.
Tell me what you think.


Thanks, Jusday said the same thing about the SS emblems, i am considering it.

Finally you decide that your going, awesome then see you at the meet.

 

damn thats a long time to wait for an exhaust. what did they do send it pony express? might be time to find a new shop.

 

I asked for the corsa...seems that they had a falling out with gm.

 

i got my megan in two days local pick up too. let me know if you want one.
