bump for a nice guy

steve 20gtp02 is a pretty cool guy, he's got a hella nice car... we grabbed a bite to eat and rode in his car while i was down in florida last week.

Good to hear.


Good job 20gtp hookin up fella GPers out there.

yea i was planning on catchin up with him last year..

Hey Alex (theone0242), I will be up January 17-21st in New Jersey, Burlington area and a little north if we can make something happen this time. I am going up for grandps 90th bday party and doing some renovations on my grandmas place!

I gave Tyler a little bit of boost with the 3.25. I got it to 100 for him (his tops at 108) but his mom told me not to "kill him" so I left it at 100 (but we got to 100 quite quickly).
I hope this persuads him to go boosted!

yeah, you can roll it a few times, just dont "kill" him.

i want boost...

do it....
you know you wanna....

if you wanna make the trip down i can help you put it in, and maybe steve will come by

i know, im deciding on a few different things of what to do... cash is one of those problems too... lol

hey steve if i can get the car working better then it is right now i think i work something out i got the car going in the shop tues to get the abs scaned so if its only the wheel hubs i might be able to sneak the car in the shop on friday. and i remember correctly i have off on the 19

You going to have a shop change the hub?

yea cause if its the driver side hub i think i might have stripped the head on one of the bolts when i tried changing it out the first time

I thought it was just a big nut, like 32mm?
You check out Hercs writeup?

no one of the 3 bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle i think the center bolt head got rounded cause at the time my friends were helping and i think that bolt was getting turned the wrong way

You might get charged some crazy amount for them to take out and fix that bolt. I would try tackling it yourself first. Then go from there.

Straight from Herc's page:
"Remove the upper bolt and the lower forward bolt. Becareful these bolt heads are soft and strip easy."

Sears carries special tools for getting bolts out that have stripped heads. I've had to use 'em once or twice on hub bolts.

i spent a good amount of time on it the first time i wanted to change it out im 90% certain the head is striped i could always just take a extra bolt from the other car and take with me

Yeah, and try what Slick suggested.
