    UPDATES!!!!
    sortta good and bad update. had to sell the rims to put my B16 together. sold the rims, picked up a B16 head with GSR cams and aftermarket valve springs and retainers. going to be pickin up a B16 cable tranny soon. got 2 GSR blades to make up for the lost blingage.

    002.jpg

    006.jpg

    but yea. thats it for now. not sure whats next, but stay tunned. what do you think?
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    i think...

    you need 2 more GSR blades :P
    my rear bolts on my car were rusted solid when i went to change suspension. took me THREE DAYS to change it. ended up have to cut the old shock out haha. i replaced the bolt first with one from Home Depot, but eventually got a nice OEM one from the junkyard. OEM is always better in the long run ;)

    good progress.
    i've had the bolt issues too.
    in fact, i'm in the middle of it right now.
  • i'm in the middle of awwnesss...

    :mrgreen:
  • insane_oneinsane_one Band Wagon
    thanks guys. well im tryna find some intown but if i dont what would be a good brand to get? im going to be riding around with this thing sweeping the floor 8) i looked up shocks on ebay and found skunk2's to be around $300ish and tokico's were a little cheaper. but what i dont understand about the tokicos is that the white one were cheaper and the blue ones were almost as expensive as skunk2s. are the white ones like stock repleacements??
  • insane_oneinsane_one Band Wagon

    tight. can't wait to see!
  • AK_CRXAK_CRX New Wagonist
    I know this car!! I'm the reason your drivers side rear door has a 4x4 logo, and mine don't! Wagon is coming along good, Knik towing/wrecking has a good pass. side front door. They got like 3 or 4 wagons up there... Just hate their business.
