^^That's what I did
I mounted the windshield on a tabletop then carried the whole thing to the car and forced it into place
It did take quite a bit of force both for the windshield to hood and hood to car.
I just got all the bolts started then tightened a bit at a time to distribute the...
I could have been more clear that display issue was an example I specifically had to deal with but any component removed will give the same result if I'm not mistaken the LSJ uses the same communication system. @Rauq please correct this if I am wrong. I was simply trying to state that...
I had a similar problem with "unexplained no crank" It ended up being part of the gmlan circuit. I had left the plug for the mullti function display in case I wanted to use it, I simply had to short the two twisted pair of wires to each other to complete the communication circuit and everything...
Had a blast taking family and friends on a ride over the weekend..
I shocked the crap out of some old friends and my boss, "Father in law" (we aren't married yet) and Niece from Alabama loved it, I let my boss drive and he was amazed, Friend who has a pretty tuned up ws8 Trans Am was beside...
#4 I'm cheap and bought 2-4' levels from harbor freight and set them on 2x4 scraps against the wheels to set toe, I made sharpie marks on the levels and measured the difference from those to what the Longacre toe plates would be then did the triangle math to adjust my measurements. This got my...
Sorry have been busy with work and family visiting from out of town..
I appreciate you looking and didn't realize they are so cheap.
I'll send you $ if you'd like to send it since you already invested time but otherwise can buy new I suppose
It was suggested to me to install a purge solenoid on my fuel tank vent wired to the fuel pump circuit to "seal" it when parked preserving my ethanol.
If anyone has one laying around they don't want or need id gladly pay shipping plus a few $ for the hassle.
I’m running 235/40zr-17 Toyo proxes r888r xl 100tw (I believe) running 17 psi front and 18 rear
I can’t find my wheel any wider that 9” in a 17 so I may be selling them to go with a staggered setup.
My tires have a bit of stretch so the rim sticks out past the sidewall a bit. The levels sit against the rim lip perfectly.
I’m wheel shopping again though. I feel the need for more back tire 235 is not enough. 2nd spins pretty bad at any speed
I ended up doing the math and used what I had.
2- 4’ levels in 2x4 blocks measured 20” wider than longacre plates I rounded off to 1/4” toe.
I adjusted ride height on right rear and spring pre load both sides, checked every fastener in the suspension. It’s 95% better but still needs more...
anybody know how many turns of the front tie rods = 1° of toe?
I gave both sides 3 revolutions
again I don't believe he adjusted caster at all because I used tamper evident torque paste (crosscheck) its still solid blue and no breaks or white marks in it all 4 Heim joints
I also just found...
I had one cam bolt in and meant to take the other with me for them, I will bring it this time for sure and let them know it pulls hard and needs to get closer for $205 I expected it to be closer to the specs I gave them and maybe tightening the lower ball joint more than finger tight......
It definitely needs more caster thats the main thing he bumped down and I was unhappy about it no longer self centers the wheel will stay wherever you put it
I didnt think of tire pressure I had it down to 21 before I will check that today
Spoke with the shop owner the day after and he agreed to make adjustments but wants to be there for it on this car and will be out of town all next week.
I may add some caster in myself in the garage and bump up the toe in on the rear also looking into the prothane bushings and noticed zzp...
Not sure why but I also noticed considerably more wheel spin in 1st - 3rd after adjustments
it felt loose in back and didn't want to track straight under hard acceleration
I didn't give it a chance it seems to be pulling right but that may be from the crown on the road I was on...
I'm not comfortable driving it on the highway at this point it was almost impossible to keep it between the lines at 80
Called the shop and they must be closed for the day
I'm...
I also just popped out to the garage to take a look and check everything
the torque paste isn't broken on any of the inside heim joints so I don't believe they adjusted caster
the lower right outer joint was finger tight ( I got a full revolution + 1/8 before torque wrench clicked)
this...
I agree I don't see a reason to have rear downforce in this car until there is enough up front to counter it
9LR makes a front wing that some have installed I'm debating which way to go with it splitter or front wing...
