    MALIBU Rockauto Springs?

    I'm biased but I see no reason to not replace the front springs with a 5658, 5660, 5662 or 5664. I also see no reason to not put tall lower ball joints in because they help the geometry, lower the front of the car without reducing suspension travel, and your front lower balljoints are probably...

    On the Cheap chasing an 8.50

    I'd toss a new 1/2-20 and make it to the Dyno. Seems like the least risk.

    On the Cheap chasing an 8.50

    Good to see the progress!! You'll make Florida! You have a plan and a goal. Honestly you might be over thinking the pad compound on the blazer swap. The pad and rotor on a blazer setup are so much bigger than stock G stuff you gain a ton there.

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

    Built a wall. It's beautiful, it's the best wall, people will be talking about it for years. It's so American. Framed and insulated the last wall in the basement. For some reason it was never finished. Probably going to frame in a small closet in the room in the other side of the wall to the...

    Pro: I got an early registration invite for Sick Summer in June Con/Pro?: My wife is due Mid may with our first kid so I think she would be less than happy for me to run away and race for a week when she is alone with a 2 week old at home. So probably not going to go on sick summer...

    Honestly it wasn't that bad. I ran the snowblower once. It's gotta be 18"+ to get my attention. Unless you got the lake effect off Superior it was generally yawn...

    I have enjoyed my trutrac. I've blown up a g80 gov lock, a yukon posi and twisted a moser 30 spline axle but I haven't broke the 30 spline trutrac yet! Make sure the ID and OD of the bearing yo got from Quick matches the diff and the rear housing. There's 2 ID dims of 8.5 rear carrier bearings...

    86 MCSS stock a/c with ls swap ?

    The AC box can clear the LS without an issue as long as the right combo of mounts are used. The main application where the new vintage air aftermarket G body HVAC box fits best (IMO) is 1. people who buy a G body with the HVAC box ripped out 10 years ago and wants HVAC again 2. people who...

    Upper Control Arm bumper installation

    Make sure they are warm, maybe by putting them in hot water to soften them up Lubricate the arm with some soap Use a wide nose pliers to grab as much of the tab as possible wen you pull them in. I changed my bumpers last year and doing all of those made it work fine without issue.

    What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2022]

    Purchased a lot of machinist measuring tools from a friend of my FIL who is retiring. Pulled what I already owned out and compared to what I bought. I got some stuff I wanted like inside and depth mics but now have 3 full sets of outside mics :/

    Turned the other nutsert, drilled the hole in the passenger side LCA bracket and pulled the really hot glue gun out and melted everything together. Next up I gotta order the rear control arm reinforcement stuff from Trick Chassis

    Oh, I've spent many a minute watching the videos. Honestly, I don't know if it's hitting full extension. I am pretty sure when I raced at BIR in Sept for T&T when the shocks were loose I did. Since I've tightened it up, I don't know. Not sure how to check without a travel sensor. I have an...

    Rear disc brake swap....

    Thanks. I haven't used them much, they are a bit of a pain to actually use. I intended for them to lift the back of the car when I drive between track to track on drag and drive events when the trunk has 700lb of tires and tools. However, unless I drop the rear end fully & remove the shocks and...

    Free, but tedious suspension stuff. Hopefully to fix my breaking parts issue that emerged again. One of my concerns from tire shake cause is that I was maxing my suspension travel out on extension in the launch and the inertia of the body was pulling the tire off the track just barely. I...
