specinvstr Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Damn you whitetiger, your generosity might force me to get my UP/DP sooner rather than later. To further take advantage of your generosity, I PM'd you a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specinvstr Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Looks like I am getting my DP this week. Looks like I'll be ordering the UP shortly. We'll be working together in April, no doubt about it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubix973 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 So far, only 1 person will/has taken advantage of my offer. Anyone else? I'm interested. I live in Passiac county so I'm close. I'm going to be buying the performance gauge pack within the next week or so. I imagine you could install this? I rather have you do it than the dealer. Let me know. Thanks. ~ Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 shouldnt be too hard to do the gauge pack. Just alot of wire routing and dash removal i suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix973 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 shouldnt be too hard to do the gauge pack. Just alot of wire routing and dash removal i suspect. Yeah the service guy at the dealership said it would be 5 hours labor. Dont know how much truth that is but I guess it could be. I'll keep ya posted.

edmundu Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Whitetiger, Do you have the capability to replace the front lower rear control arm bushings? I'm told they require a hydraulic press to get them out/in... also an alignment afterwards. Anything else I would need to replace them, besides the bushings themselves?

G.T.Subie Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I got a wedding in April so don't have much time right now to meet up this month.My father in-law works for Anhieser Busch so I got the BEER for free. I would like to meet up sometime though Im thinking of SWAYS and clearing headlights. I live in Hoboken so this would be great for me.

whitetiger Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yes, you need a press, which i dont have, for the bushings in the control arm. Swaybars are no problem. Clearing headlights im a bit weary of since i dont have a heat gun, so id have to put them in the oven. Never done that before but if you trust me to do those, i will. as for 5 hours of labor i say bah. I bet i could get it done quicker. trust me, dealers always over estimate that stuff. your average dealer rate is 87-92 dollars an hour. So they are charging over $430 to install those gauges. Ill do it for less than a quater of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Just got done installing mudfoot's springs and UP/DP. Who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.T.Subie Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I was considering getting the Spec B springs. Got any opinions on them. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 no opinions, have no experiance eith them. so far ive installed STI pinks, ions and ksport coilovers. Im a fan of coilovers. i think our stock shocks are too soft to control the spring force. But i can put on whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
