Top 3 B**chiest mods

ZeroChad · Post by **ZeroChad** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 9:32 pm

Time for another list thread. What were your top 3 bitchiest mods to install.

For me:
1:Front Sway bar
2:Coilovers
3:Oil Pressure Sender

Sway bar bracket bolts suck when you live in the rust belt. Coilovers suck to install when you don't have the proper tools and your hubs are rusted over because you live in the rust belt lol. Lastly, the oil pressure sender is a huge bitch with the engine in w/o a long 1.1/16 socket, and with manual transmission cables in the way.

I even had access to hoist, and a press, and it still was a bitch to do.

Also, installing my air suspension was a long headache.

In my case I'd say the strut/spring install. Haven't done much to my car though.

Any suspension work.

/end thread

(I'd much rather do any sort of engine/turbo work, hell even pull a motor than have to do suspension work.)

I'd much rather work on suspension...

After you've removed something once, it's a lot easier to remove it again.

1. Installing the downpipe in the white car only to take off the stock and find the 3" MPX had loosened. Couldn't get the 4th bolt tightened without spending a few hours trying to get the lower heat shield off.

2. Installing the AEM Wideband. During the install I wanted to pull the downpipe down to replace the gasket that was almost gone from the leak caused by problem listed in #1. Couldn't get the downpipe down far enough to get it to clear the bolt studs to get the gasket out. Then when I did get it to clear and was going to put a gasket in, I couldn't find my extra. Spent an hour hunting one down at parts stores to find two in stock about 30min away but I had to cut the opening out to make it 3" instead of the stock 2.5". Upon reinstalling I tried to take the plug out of the downpipe but it was seized up so out came the oxy-acetylene torch which didn't help so I drilled out the center then used a hammer to knock out the rest without damaging the threads. After that, went back in no problems other than getting that last bolt for the o2 housing.

3. Rear suspension on the white car, putting in the MannyZ bars since the bolts were seized in the knuckle... again, had to break out the torch to get them out.

4... Anything else exhaust related lol

1: Fuzzys long tube headers
2: Megan racing springs. you will need a jack for rear installation
3: Cam setup

AllMotorWes · Post by **AllMotorWes** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:38 pm

1.) Header Flange to Exhaust (3 bolts, one hell of a time.)

2.) Rear Sway Bar (Rusted bolts are def. the enemy.)

3.) Suspension

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:53 pm

1. O2 Housing on Stock Turbo
2. Fan motor (who knew you had to remove EVERYTHING to do this stupid thing?! Including all of the coolant, radiator, radiator hoses, etc.
3. Seat covers, I hate hog rings...and their pliers I know now why people charge so much to do it.

Other than that nothing was really too bad. Having access to almost everything I could ever want makes life so much easier though.

contagious18 · Post by **contagious18** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:56 am

1. PS belt tensioner
2. ps pump
3. rear swaybar (front one was easy)

Yo, fuck an 02 housing. I found that one out tonight.

Y'all need the right tools for the job. Having a 60 gal air compressor in your garage makes life much easier.

If I had to pick one it would be SRT swap into the 1GN LOL
