I dont have endlinks yet... i had 5guage single stranded wire i used to attach it.. just wanted to make sure no noise....

and I almost broke my ratchet as i was finishing unscrewing, it started skipping, isnt busted yet... i used my tire iron to tighten the bolts... and i forgot that little ring the first time (one that goes under the nut that screws in the strut) and i removed the one on the passanger side because i thought it would be better... what a mistake... had to remove everything and remove the nuts (took about 30 min... melted the plastic on the ring, took clams and clamped a cloth thing to the strut so it stays and doesnt turn... anyways done and looks nice

BTW... IM F**king tired!!!! =) it was fun though, and I think I learned a way to replace the boot breaks with roters. I'll try to get some breaks

7th generation ones work... correct?

hey centaur i ordered the sway bar links they will come in tomorrow or thurs i cant wait

DANG finally. Its taking such a long time. Well since thanksgiving was last week i guess it would take a while.

[Celicam8]

i dont celebrate thanksgiving... i didnt have enough $

[Celicam8]

btw, it seems like a stiffer ride than stock... then again my struts were shot.... is it stiffer or is it me... for example if i go over a bump if feel it more than i would normally... and how tight should the nuts that are holding the spring be... i tightened it till it wouldnt go anymore, seems like it should be more loose....

you lowered the car too right?? if so then of course its supposed to be stiff.

[Celicam8]

yea, 1,5" but it seems... stiffer than should be.. i feel every bump, might be that i need a 4wheel alligment now, but... either way... to add to that my steering wheel is shaking in a weird way.. where its making noises.... i think its the alligment, but when im standing still its also happening...

[bccentaur3]

WHAT???? Your steering wheel is shaking at idle? what did you do?

[Celicam8]

i didn't do ****.... its weird... never done this before, but than again not much is different since been changed, and nothing was changed that would do that

[Celicam8]

I JUST GOT THE LINKS!!
wow, that was a quick install.... about 5 min each one fun

btw, i know it says 2:00 but i was back and forth talking to people... install itself was quick...

So hows the celi riding now?

[Celicam8]

fu*king awsome... doesn't feel like a celica anymore. I need to get an alligment bad though, i took the car on a turn at about 45 and it started hopping then again i was going a little fast

but yea, those swaybar links are great i like them, made everything in the back stiff... next would be replace the swaybar and the arms that connect to the frame i wanna get full suspension done before putting new engine... and i need rear breakpads not boots...

[bccentaur3]

Nice you have the right thought in mind. I am doing the same thing, but sucks because its going to snow soon and I dont have a heated garage.

[Celicam8]

same here, but im looking at the positive, its going to be better... btw dont do things like this in winter (i wont be either) you need to test your car and take it for a "drive" and winter isnt the safest time to do that
