changed brakes all the way around and installed a rear sway bar that I found at the yard yesterday... WOW what a difference the rear sway bar made as soon as I pulled out of the driveway I could feel the difference ! Decided to use some grade 8 bolts with lock washers and a nut with a nylon insert instead of the old rusted bolts that came off of it.

Pulled my hair out....cause I cant find a starter that will fit with my headers. Even a Jeggs mini starter isnt gonna work....AHHHHH!

:evil:

I had that problem with mine and had to change the indexing a few times till it did fit. To make it easier to wire up it will help if you wire the start terminal to the battery terminal on the starter solenoid and use a remote solenoid. Then you only have the cable going to the starter and it's not hot till you start the car..

couldn't get my Kinetiks 912 battery to wake up after the winter so I ordered an XS s925 today and I'll see how that one works out..it's just under 24 lbs so it's about 2lbs heavier than the Kinetic ...

Man, what a difference w/a 3.73 Posi and rear disc brakes!

And the headers, even with the earplugs, sound great! :rofl:

Some new battery Choices are nice. Optima's are getting Stupid Expensive and very unreliable.
