Here some teaser from my progress on my GTX project





Once i get some time I'll update my build thread with the last two weeks worth of work.

^ what brand plugs were you running??


Ian, that bar need a good fresh powder coating!

I agree. Cept I want ti preserve the sticker. Im gonna wait till it gets a buy warmer and see what I can do with some duplicolor(I think) metalcast paint. Others claim iys a pretty good match.

Also, I need some assistance. I am a little pissed cusco provided the wrong pillow nuts. Does anyone have factory literature or equally credible evidence that the gtx strut top is indeed m12x1.25 threaded? I am wanting them to exchange the m14's they provided but their "database" says otherwise, which is what lead to this in thw first place. Ugh...sigh

Ian, I believe my shocks(unless the weren't stock) were an M14. I know this cause I used one of the nuts off the shock, as a spacer when pulling my new wheel studs through. The wheel studs are m12x1.5.



The nut on back is off the shock, and it slipped on, not threaded.

Darn, ok. I was hoping it was there mistake. I kinda knew the rear strut was M14 but wasn't sure on the front. SHOOOT! lol. My man ROCKETMAN is making me the proper replacements though. Thanks for the verification.

Well the nut is a rear nut, but I am fairly sure that the front was the same as the rear. I believe it was a 21mm socket for removing it. Sorry man, but glad Rocketman is helping.

Them Cusco plates are a bit over rated. I can only get 1.5 Neg out of mine. Next I will slot the strut mount holes and adjust from the bottom...cheaper too.

having a pillow ball instead of a rubber mount. is IMHO a nice touch/upgrade. the camber adjustment is a mere added bonus.

[redheddude222]

I shuffled some stuff around mine. I really need to get the BPT swap finished. Anyone interested in being paid to do it for me?

[Iantboyd]

I primarily got them so I could swap in my bg awd suspension.

[azgtx]

I guess it depends what you use the car for too. Honestly it is hard to tell my two cars apart one with and one without but then again I would not call myself an "accomplished driver" either to really notice it. They sure look nice though.

[Iantboyd]

^+1 same here lol. I am hoping to start actively participating in some motorsport this year though.

Like I was saying, I figured Id use em to help adapt the bg suspension to the bf. Im finally seeing the whole picture now. Lol either way they are nice to look at.
