Wow, awesome. How experienced are you with cars, and how hard would you say it was to do? And we need pics of the finished product!

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Oct 31, 2009 - 8:32 PM)  Wow, awesome. How experienced are you with cars, and how hard would you say it was to do? And we need pics of the finished product! It was really easy, I thought it was going to be harder but its not. I still have some minor details to clean up so that it looks better (i need a rubber washer for the clutch master cyl.) and then I'll post pictures... I have no experience at all with major mechanical work! I totally did not know what I was doing but its pretty self explanatory once you get down to it! I don't have a lot of tools either just a 69 piece tool set from home depot, a drill (only for the holes in the firewall) and a jack and jackstands and that was it. So yeah anyone can do it. I'll post pics when i get a chance. |

I was just wondering if I could attempt this in the future...but honestly, I don't even change my own oil (bad, I know  ).-------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
