All I need is a flywheel, clutch/brake pedal assembly, and drive shaft then I'm ready to go. I'm working on getting the parts this week so I can swap the trans this weekend.

ScubaSteve · 07-02-2007, 08:53 PM

oh and this is my favorite room in the house:

this was taken over a month ago, it's a lot dirtier now

PaleDSM · 07-03-2007, 09:00 AM

Haha, will you take those old lady bumpers off of your doors!?!? :D

justice · 07-03-2007, 09:30 AM

Awww.. Scuba, I'm so proud of you. It looks like a lot of fun. Bring it up some time so we can take a closer look.

Is that what they are?

I honestly had no idea what the **** they were there for.

ScubaSteve · 07-05-2007, 04:52 PM

Guess what came in the mail today?

I can't believe how much these collars helped. Wheel hop is a thing of the past and the body roll was drastically reduced. I think I spent like $50 on these, not bad at all.

S.Milone · 07-05-2007, 04:57 PM

Lets get drifty

jh95zenki · 07-06-2007, 05:20 PM

Where did you get the collars from, and did you find any cons to having them on your car? Also is the install pretty basic?
I might have to pick up some.

I ordered them off of ebay. As far as I can see they can't really differ much from brand to brand. They really made a huge difference on my car and for the price you can't go wrong.

The install was really easy too. All you have to do is jack up the rear end, take off the wheels, put a jack under the diff and unbolt the subframe bushings to put the collars on the top and the bottom. Move the diff up and down with the jack to adjust the subframe and fit the top collars on.

I can't think of a single bad thing that came from buying these. If you have anymore questions feel free to Pm me.
