Thanks.

Chris did definitely help out

Need Defi's tossed on soon Chris!

Chris05STi · 01-03-2007, 08:20 PM

Thanks John and thanks MR. STi. Yah let me know when you want them, I have done Steve's and Mark's already, ontop of mine

. Hows the 20g holding up

? Man I can't wait for a turbo upgrade!

Update:

Cusco Zero 2E Coilovers are on.....wow, talk about SLAMMED! The F-Con isn't installed yet, but the rears clunk, it may just need the rear pillowballs to be tightened. I will find out during my lunch. Here are some teaser pics, the car def looks really really mean. Talk about wheel gap, I hardly have any! Man, its gonna look better once its aligned and ride height adjusted. I think the rears were 25" from the ground to the fender lip, and the fronts were 23 3/4" from the ground to the fender lip. Here are the teaser shots (BTW, any other reason why the rears would clunk, it def sounds like they are clunking on the top portion area, like a bolt was not tightened or something???) Thanks again to Ian for helping out!

the rear upper nut (the big one in the center) is not tight - need to zap it with an impact gun

Chris05STi · 01-04-2007, 06:14 AM

Thats what I figured was wrong....thanks Adam....I will zap the crap outta it

. Hopefully that will fix it. Man on setting 1 (Not the stiffest) the car is like on rails....I am afraid to see what the stiffest setting would do!

RacerXS · 01-04-2007, 09:31 AM

Don't crank on it too hard, just a quick hit with an impact gun will do.

Your measurements should always be from the center of the hub to the top lip on the fender.
A good starting point for our cars is 14" in the front and 13" in the rear.

Chris05STi · 01-04-2007, 09:31 AM

I tried to tighten the 17mm nut on the rear coilovers (top portion)....yah stupid me, you can't do that since it just twists around.....well, I will go over Ian's house and put her on the lift and remove the rears out...and tighten them without being on the car...hopefully that will fix the problem. The fronts don't make any noise...and there were never any previous problems from the owner who only ran them for 1,500 miles. They are basically new. Thanks again Adam for the help...hopefully they will be fine after we tighten the nut. Maybe I can get the E-Con hooked up as well

. Another update, since yesterday, my Meth pump is finally all good to go....and I am finally on Meth again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOT!! Man did I miss it! More pics to come later!

Thanks Al, I was just about to ask you about that ahhahaha, what are your measurements? I gotta check the camber plates on top and figure out how to read them ahahha.

You dont have to take the coilover off to tighten the nut, you can get an IMPACT gun on there by just taking the rear seat out. If you hit it with the impact gun it will tighten up, believe me. Just dont over do it.

My measurements are 13-3/4 in the front & 12-3/4 in the rear. But I am going to raise it up to 14 & 13.

Chris05STi · 01-04-2007, 11:02 AM

Ok, so impacting it with the gun will be enough to get it on there? I tried with a rachet and it just kept spinning...I guess your right, with the gun the force when you first press the button should be enough. Hmmm, thanks Al, I will let you know how it goes when I get to Ian's and try it

.

**Z1 Performance** · 01-04-2007, 12:29 PM

I'd recommend 60-70 ft lbs

wratchet is not going to do anything but spin the shaft

Chris05STi · 01-04-2007, 01:03 PM

Thanks Adam, I will do that once I get the coilovers off.....I used an impact gun and it did help...but I still hear them a little......I guess that is the problem def, and just need to take them off and do it that way!

its reneeee · 01-04-2007, 01:23 PM

ooooo slammmmmed

i cant wait to see them in person on sunday, how do they feel ?

NJSTi05 · 01-04-2007, 01:46 PM

IUSTi · 01-04-2007, 02:03 PM

nice chris, the car has changed soo much since i last saw it billy's install day over the summer. Goodjob with the progress. And im actually thinking of getting those coilovers in the future when i have enough money saved up. Looking forward to a review when you are done tweaking the setup man.
