step aside ronKmiller and damian or is it damien.?? i was walking around in autozone today and noticed some energy suspension bushings for sway bars. i thought to self, "self would those work on the rx7?" sure enough, i didnt reply.
i will be trying a few different sizes to see if they fit. please inform me of the size of the rear sway bar so then i dont have to trial and error three sets. this could help rid the rubber bushing that are all crappy on the sway bars for less than 16 bucks. i think it might be worth it. over time i plan on making my own bushing everywhere since i cant stand the price for a bushing set. ill keep everyone informed and if someone already did this then i am not cool, and apologize
kris
forgot to add that the bushings have the little bleeder type valve on them so they can be lubed(you said lube) periodically. i dont know if that part will work, but just the bushing itself should no prob

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but people have been doing this for a while on the sway bars.

 

He obviousally didn't know.

 

yeah, robrobinette has the sizes you need on his website

 

what's the improvement like?

 

bubble is now burst. DOH...one day i will come up with a cool ghetto mod. till then i envy damian and ronKmiller. thanks for the info guys

Matt

Sorry I couldn't help myself

 

the car is silver, just looks white in that pic. It's veilside's car....therefore everything on it is.......
Veilside.

 

Hey Kris - look at the positive side: at least you're not talking to yourself walking around in Autozone! (j/k)

Keep on "ghettoing"., and don't let 'em grind you down....

 

This isn't really a Performance mod, but it certainly falls in the ghetto category.

For those of you with a rear hatch that won't stay up: Don't waste money on expensive replacemant supports. Go out to your local hardare store. Find some 1/2 inch (outside measurement) 3 sided aluminum channel. Fully open the hatch, and measure the length of the exposed piston on the support. Cut a piece of the aluminum to that length. Now when you open the hatch, just slide it in. Voila!! Now you have a hatch that will stay open, and it cost you about a dollar.

To modify your new hatch support, stick a piece of velcro on the back so that you can simply stick it to your carpet when not in use.

Hey, how come Ron Miller's avatar is a picture of Saddam with no mustashe????

 

Dood - that IS ghetto, what's wrong with a wood dowel instead? (You can get a new gas spring at Pep Boys for $29.00.) Remember, it can't "look" ghetto.

BTW, that is the Iraqi "Dis-information" Minister, not Saddam.

Won't be long now Saddam, buh bye........

 

The channel aluminum will wrap around the piston on 3 sides, and will stay on better than a wooden dowel. For extra bling, you could even polish it......ooooohhhh baby!!

"Dis-information" has no place on this forum!! hahaha

 

 

okay okay, i deserved that. hey, atleast i admited i was wrong. i will think of something, sooner or later. what about being the first to come up with a V8 swap, or uh...polyurethane bushings, or...
