Re: Energy Suspension Poly Bushings Help
my local auto parts chain rents tools. I typicaly rent the the ball joint press (huge c-clamp with multiple steel cylinders). I just did all the wheel studs on my uncles chevelle. I'm sure something could easily be rigged up and you can use an impact gun...
Re: cladding wear spots
I'm keeping my eyes open for something. I'm sure I'll try a few things. if I find something that works I can duplicate and try and make inexpensive kits for others to buy.
Re: zr-1 knock offs
maybe I'd be better off with 17x9.5's all the way around and running spacers? I'm just more confused. the rims I'm looking at were black with polished lips and $550 with tires also the're local!
I need some advice on fitment. I found some after market zr-1 style rims near me that are used. they were taken off a T/A. common 17x9 frt, 17x11 rr. I allready checked for tire size and they are the same diameter. I am under the impression that I simply need an 1.25-1.5" spacer in the rear and...
Re: wrong to partout?
black on black 92 nothing special. this truck was owned by a local doc who also was a music producer and drove the ty in the winter months from here to Detroit. one owner high miles been redone once before. I think I'll pick it up as a driver but take all the cladding off...
I went and looked at a ty yesterday. very cheap, very rough but great driver. I'm considering picking it up to part out cladding and intereior and then drive it till it pukes and save some parts for me and get rid of every thing else. is this right to do? I obviously feel guilty if I'm posting...
Re: cladding wear spots
I sent a pm we'll see what happens? I noticed a few japaneese vehicles I own have moldings on there rocker panel "cladding". maybe I can find replacements for those and use on the sy. if I got really good maybe I can start prooducing kits? wonder if any one would have...
anybody ever ponder the thought of using trim addhesive or self sticking rubber seal or door edge rubber piping , on the edges of the cladding where it rubs off paint? mine isn't bad yet (repaint) but I can definately see where there could be probs. also if I hit a puddle or something just...

Re: sy 2163 ment to be!
it was definately intersting. if I had just gone a few years back it would have sparked my interest to invest in the taiwanese manufacturing industries. some stuff is nice but I think its more for the people who remodel and redecorate every 1-3 years. you think thats bad...
Re: sy 2163 ment to be!
All I honestly remember was a wierd circle turn around thing in the middle of nowhere and the truck was in a car hualer next to a pole barn with a 71 barracuda and a 55 chevy drag car. it was definately out a ways and on a dirt road. the trucks original owner lived in...

Re: sy 2163 ment to be!
I'm trying to use the sy as my daily driver, which sucks in MI because of the salt. the truck sat in the garage today but I'm sure when I drove it earlier it collected salt. you guys really think the body will go that fast? I've had other s-10 platform vehicles with...
