my first build and 6 bolt swap

[woooop]

I'm gunna try. Check your bushings, I had shitty camber than I replaced all the bushings and it felt like a new car. Tell I blew both struts. I hope the setup I'm working on now works out and is'nt to hard.

 

[skeeter4200]

so you got your ride back together yet man

 

[woooop]

all most!

 

[woooop]

Parts:
Koni's (yellows)
New bellows from Schucks
Cheep lowering springs
New upper rubber seat for springs
polyurathine upper and lower bushings
New bumpstops from schucks (cut)

 

[woooop]

Put the lower ring on the koni's and lower spring seat.

 

[woooop]

Install the plastic c clamp that came with the koni's and the cut bumpstop from schucks.

 

[woooop]

Next install the springs and new bellow from schucks.

 

[woooop]

Take the top of the old bellow and remove the lower rubber half and install the new one from schucks.

 

[woooop]

The old top portion of the bellow has a lip on it that fits into the croove of the new bellow.

 

[skeeter4200]

looking good man

 

[woooop]

Turn the lower portion of the bellow inside out. It looks cleaner this way but you have to do it while on the strut with the spring on. This picture doesn't show that.

 

[woooop]

Use the grease supplied with the new bushing and grease any part whare metal meets bushing.Put the metal spacer through both bushings.Instal the upper rubber shock seat.

 

[woooop]

More.Install and line up the spring. The spring needs to be lined up on both the upper and lower seat.

 

[woooop]

Compress the spring with a coil over spring compressor tool. Put the two supplied nuts on. And your done.

[SeMi380]

[woooop]

One side done one more to go. I still have to powdercoat the calipers. I also worked on the head today and found out I lost 2 valve spring upper seats anyone want to sell me two. Skeeter was gunna come over and help but i think he slept all day.

Gorgeous 2G. Its the same color as mine... Post up some pics of your wife's stroker also please.. I plan on doing a 2.3 stroker with mine sometime and a FP3052 probably. Keep the progress reports coming, I'm enjoying this. Beautiful work your doing.

 

[e85_4g63]

Nice build you got going there. Got a quick question for ya... Where the suspension bushings hard to install? (they look like poly bushings in the pic).

 

[woooop]

I have a press at work and the car is not my daily, so no the bushings aren't hard to do. If you dont have a press than yes it is a pain. Almost every bushing was replaced with poly.If you do a section at a time its a pice of cake. I get the block back soon so ill show the build on the stroker, no prob. Thanks for looking at my posts you guys, i didnt think anyone was watching.

 

[c_riggan]

Oh I will continue to watch... This stuff is very interesting to me, as I will start building mine (although a little at a time, maybe locate another block for cheap or somethin, dont have much time as UTI takes most of it). Threads like this either give or dismiss ideas I may have had, helpful to what exactly it is that I want to do. The storker is a must, and at a 9.0:1 CR if I can find the right pistons to go with the higher CR. I have been looking at SlowBoy for the stroker parts and BC for the upper side.

Are you putting the storker kit together, or did you purchase a stroker kit from a company? And what bore size are you using with what CR?

 

[woooop]

I cant give away my set up there would be no mystery. You'll see but nothing from slowboy! yuck

 

[skeeter4200]

dude I thought you were going to powdercoat the rest of your suspension parts before putting this all back together or did you just get bored again hahahah
