Re: conversion article ?



I'll try and do some looking for it...



I still need some help gathering all the older Tech Articles from the main forum section that were lost in all the pages... If anybody is surfing through the subforums or main forum and come across one that should be in the Tech Article section, send me a PM with a link to it please. It would help me greatly since I lack the time I need to organize everything a bit better...

Re: conversion article ?

Im not gay or anything but I love you lol...Ugh long day now :/


Edit : its 3:30 pm and I just got home , I will most likely begin the swap tomorrow and I will take pictures of the above listed walk through if it could be used to further help anyone who undertakes the process.

I went to my local pick and pull found a 1995 GS with body kit , leather interior , blah blah blah , wasnt there for any of that however , both rear knee assemblies looked fairly new , had KYB GR-2 shocks and what seems to be lowering springs...sweet =D I got both knee assemblies for 50.00 plus a stock GS infinity stereo lol..

+ a little extra flavor =)

Re: conversion article ?

Well I finished the install today and it went quick like I hoped , put on some new pads and greased everything up and it runs good. However , I had some other stuff go on today so it took me a while to get on..spent the day at the hospital my 12 year old nephew has testicular cancer..how fucked up is that ? :/..so yeah..

Car stops good now though at least :/
