Well, I'll replace my LCAs because I still haven't put my new ones on lol. They are slightly bent.. My hatch also bounces it seems like too, as if it's not closed all the way but it is. Don't know if that's just a 4th gen thing.
I'll also replace the sway bar bushings.
It's supposed to snow 5 to 8 inches tomorrow too.. God damn
Woohoooo!!! finally.Quote:

Are you going to be able to put lca on ? The engine and trans have to be pulled because the torque arm attaches to your tachometer and oxygen sensors bro.
Uh oh spaghetti O's!!!
I can do it, I'm just so.... lazy!
I am going 24x this winter. Will post pics when I get the shit in the mail.
I HAS QUESTIONS!
5.3 or LS1 coils?
Mount location..? Under cowl, over valve covers or above the splash panels!?
Oh and bought c5 brake conversion
The truck coils with the heat sinks on them.

That's great to hear. If I can figure out how to fabricate that's the route I'm going to go. I already have some pics of your setup from another thread :DQuote:

I already know I'll have plenty of questions. Thank you Mr popo!
My cousin will be helping somewhat. He's built and entire harness so repining won't be a big deal for either of us. I'm excited lol
I have my first question. The case relearn.. That is only for the crank sensor right? So I don't need that since I'm not replacing mine or am I wrong?

You unbolt the stock CPS (prob a 10mm), replace with the new LS1 CPS, torque to bink and then plug in.Quote:

He didn't do a 24x harness, he made from scratch a 94 harness for his old car.
I have the diy kit.. It's a case of plug and pray. My only issue is the coil powering because I'm slightly electrically retarded but I know a lot more than 3 months ago so..
Have no fear, I'm not completely brain dead yet!
Repin everything, then worry about coil power.
It should be easy and don't cut/splice/fucking wire nut anything.
With 24x i think u will pick up at.least 50 horses to the tire.
If anything has to be cut, it will be reattached via solder. Fuck wire nuts!Quote:

Exactly. Going to start it after finals are over.
Thoughts on who I should send the pcm to for the tune?
Id ask if moe.does 24x.Quote:

Yeah. I'll shoot him a pm once it's all in there and ready to gogo.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...0cf39abf0d.jpg. This is how I want to mount em. Well, I'm going to try lol

Does that camera you got have a time lapse setting? or your phone? it's cool to set it up and make a video of your self working on the car then you have a clip that makes it look like you really know what you're doing because you're moving a million miles a minute lol.
We did this one with my bird.

Probably. I do plan on taking a ton of photos. I have a couple dedicated folders on my computer all set for the install..
Going to try and make some fuel rail covers unless someone wants to make some for me :D
Also need to do the wire tuck mod because my engine bay looks like someone took a huge shit in it and wiped it all over the place
Two questions.
What is this lol. I believe it's the crank sprocket thing? Do I need to change it out since I already have a crank sensor? (97)

That is a 24x reluctor for a single chain. Yes, you need to swap it out. The stock one is only 4x.
Ah ok. Thank you :D
