make sure your lift has crossmember spacers or you will eat right threw axle boots
-
both of my loyales had 2 inch lifts the silver one has sttock tires on it the white has 195 /75r14 on pugs i think
-
I also had to switch back to the longer crossbars
-
Got the rack on. picked both of them up used for a steal of a deal ha.
-
wheel bearing maybe
-
I didnt get pictures of the racks yet but i did get my general grabber AT2 mounted and balanced at my friends shop. I got my spare switched with one also with about 60 % tread. i got them off craigslist in the summer for 80$ already powdercoated . Too bad they wont stay white for long ha

How do the shocks feel? No more sag?
I haven't driven the car yet .. but it does seem to sit a little higher than it did. Only because the old ones were terrible. I should be getting my winter tires mounted today.

i got some new board racks yesterday at the ski and snow expo. one of the board members work at rack attack and they were at the expo and i got the board holders used . i just need one more set now. i will post a pic after i get them on the car

the rear shocks i installed
here is the pitch stopper bracket made to bolt right to the adapter plate
i painted it black and will install it later today
Here is the 90 degree o2 sensor bung just need to install it on the j pipe
so i made a heat sheild and first i mocked it up with card board to get a better idea of what i wanted
i also cut out this piece of the car so the cone would sit in there. then i put some edging on
here it is when i was done. i ended up using plexy glass cause it was all that i had turned out good in my opinion . i made it mostly to keep water away from the filter . if i were to hit a puddle fast enough the engine bay gets wet. . i think it will also help a little to just suck in cold air.
this is the adapter i had made by inferno fab. Awesome work no doubt
and the extended linkage and the light panel . this is just the cut out of stainless will be adding switchs of corse
Basically all the welding is done by my dad .He has been a welder for over 30 years. i do cuting and fitting he does the welding .
-
Oh well hah, atleast it had extra tires and rims on it.
so i made a bracket to bolt the the pitch stopper today and also got a MAF adaptor threw inferno fab. got it a day after it was built . i also think im going to make some sort of shield for the cone filter out of sheet metal. i got the 90 degree o2 sensor bung also so i can hook up the rest of the exhaust. I got the linkage extended and all the interior put back together. i think im going to make a light panel on the middle console for the all the lights and maybe one to turn my fans off. also looking into back up l.e.d lights for the basket. i already have cree l.e.d back up lights with dual projectors in the stock housing but i think i want more light hah. also i got some KYB rear shocks of the list for 40 $ . brand new. so i put those on with new dust covers or whatever the pieces are that were at the top half of the shock assembly. They were nice aftermarket ones from discount import and only like 10 $ a piece and in stock.

thats what he was asking with the trailer and every thing .

Feel lucky that you didn't. Mike did a horrible job on the swap. The wiring is a total mess. He also had completely removed the T-stat because he couldn't figure out why it was overheating(clogged radiator)....I should have taken a better look at the harness under the dash before I handed over the cash. Oh well. Soon it will be properly done with a new harness. Just have to save up for it =p.
that doesn't sound good at all.. at least it was a pretty good deal like with the lift and tires and the ej. after it is wired correctly it should be sweet. did you replace any of the shocks or anything suspension related ? when i went to check it out one big reason i didn't get it was it felt like all the suspension was completely worn out hah. glad your getting it fixed the right way
-
hey thanks. yeah i saw it parked out front . its funny i almost bought your gl from mike before you did. its good to see it stayed some what local thoughh
-
no, it is not part of the proper procedure.
sweet thanks a lot. i didn't think it was cause i have never heard that but i was just checking
-
do i need to re torque the head bolts after i run the engine for a little bit
-
i cut and welded a inch of piping on to the shift rod. it worked out perfect . it did some what in gauge into 2WD before with out the plastic on . now it engages perfect with them on . it definitely was worth extending it .
-
i didn't get to much done today i just extended my linkage about a inch and it worked out perfectly . also i started to make the pitch mount should finish that up tomorrow
-
today i removed the heat shields off the headers . i decided to just use a cutting wheel instead of trying to mess with the rusted bolts . They came off easy . Then i wrapped them with exhaust wrap and installed them. i also put up the j pipe and made a spacer so i could mount it to the old exhaust mount right below the linkage. I picked up the two o2 sensors and i ordered a 90 degree o2 sensor bung so i can mount the second o2 sensor out of the main flow of the exhaust. i Also started to fab up a mount to mount the old pitch rod to the adapter plate.
-
that sucks. if you have a set of tires that have full tread put those on it because they count tire tread into there evaluation . if you have a receipt from a newer engine or anything else that might help. when my old loyale got rear ended the insurance totaled it and i got the choice to keep it and get like 1475 or get rid of it and get 1700 so i kept it. i hope they give you a reasonable amount and sorry to hear about it being smashed. hope you made it out alright though
-
i might try that untill i extend it . i just wanna try to make it look as clean as possible. but thanks a lot that will definitly make it functional untill i get time to extend it
-
today i decided to go to a shop called oil filter services and got some new hoses and some adapters that swivel so i could hook it up without bending any hard lines. i think it turned out pretty good , could have gone a bit shorter but oh well.
i also got some 1.5 to 1.25 radiator hose adapters and got the stock top line on with one of those and a flex hose on the bottom. it worked great i just hope it isn,t a problem to have smaller inlets on the radiator compared to the hose.
i also picked up some used exhuast from GD today for a pretty good deal.
-
if anybody that lives around me needs a SPFI intake for this i have one off a 92 loyale i would let go for almost nothing
-
