well i got it all done till i hit that bolt for the Rear steering.. the 5 lug has new bearings,races,studs,pads,rotors, my dad helped with installing the bearings and i did everytnig else alone .... enjoy the pics

 

will add more pics with inn 5 mins

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what is holding me up

 

Are we having fun yet?

Did you consider painting the brake calipers? Seems like with all the work you did, what's another hour or two.

Anyhow, I'd say a good thorough job.

 

o as you can tell, i like my digi cam lol

 

Well this is a picture of a picture of me on one of my parts cars

 

did you use the brake booster off the 5 lug car? I've heard from some people that the 4 lug one failed after the swap. I used the gxl brake booster and its a little bigger and works great

 

spend $150 and get a kerosene jet heater, trust me... It heats our 3 car garage to about 90 degrees in 15 minutes when its -5 degrees outside...Our garage used to look like yours-- space heaters everywhere...

 

lol , i have a propane heater just not i yet... my dryer exhaust is in the garage so i turn on thre dryer and it get hot quick

 

Edit: I guess this is a double post...

 

bump:]

 

Well,...I must say. That is one Frankenstein of a car! But it's good to see someone so young (15? Really?) getting involved with cars at that level. Good luck, don't give up when it gets frustrating, and learn as much as you can. And don't wreck it when you get your license!

 

ah pittsfield eh? I used to live in lee my friend. Not much out there from what i can remember. Maybe come spring i'll bring my tii over when i visit my buddy in lee.

 

yes, im really 15... yes at time i hate my rx7... and yeah i only like like 10-15 miles from lee..

 

Agreed. So much of the younger generation just drops cash to have other people do all the work and they really don't have a clue as to how things work. It's refreshing that someone at a young age is getting into cars the old fashioned way - by actually turning wrenches.

Heck, what am I talking about? I'm only 22.

Keep up the good work man!

 

Thanx.... i dont even like my brother or freinds working on my car itz me or Me with my dad... im allways involed it...
