After 14yrs and 45k miles later i replaced my leaky Tein Coils. Three were leaking and one looked bent by the piston. I can't say enough how great these coilovers were all these years. The GS is still pushing with 96k miles. Next up is paint the front and rear bumpers.
wow, 3 leak and 1 bent? What did you replaced it with?
yea i know lol... I didn't want to spend $900 right now on BC's or even Teins. The car isn't used as much but believe its a much better ride. At least these have oil in them lol
Where did you get the actuators from and do you mind telling me the part numbers? Thanks
Got mine from the junk yard!
Today I had my son change out my Vacuum Switching Valve. First thing he asked when he was finished was how much did he just save by not having the dealership do the job!! lololol
Modified the front stock speaker boxes to fit 6.5" speakers. Did have to move and relocate the bass tube inside the unit. I originally bought those wood cutouts but I noticed mold start to grow on them so I tossed them out. Working on the rear ones next.
I bought machines plastic adapters. I'm hoping to get speakers soon. Was it hard to relocate the bass tube?
After 1 failed attempt I finally finished plastidipping over the woodgrain and ashtray cover. Installed it today on my lunch break, since I had been driving around with everything loose on the front floor.
No, it was not hard at all. It is a c shaped air channel with 3 Phillips bolts holding it in place. I used a stepped drill bit to drill the hole out first and then used some epoxy on where I wanted it relocated inside the box.
It's never fun to have someone change lanes on u on interstate and spin u thru median into a freightliner
I hope you’re ok man, it’s always sad to see sc in a wreck, but most importantly your safety and emotional scars accidents leave behind. Get well soon, this looks bad!
Im sorry to read and see this is unfortunate.
Time for a suspension refresh. I previously had all Daizen bushings but but now with new SPC ucas, lbjs, new Figs bushings: steering wheel rack, sway bars and Lca#1,#2, FA coilovers (Teins CST for sale), and debating if I should do Supra brakes since I already have everything out....
Finished up mounting 6.5" speakers the factory rear stock speaker boxes. Relocated the internal bass tube just like the modified front speaker boxes I did a few posts up.
