    Re: Started Pulling out my Engine and Transmission today (56k I do not recommend)

    I finally decided to do a little more to the 3g this labor day weekend since it needed a little TLC I went ahead and changed out my sway bar bushings in the front to Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings and started to install my justin made rear lower bars that I bought from frantik awhile back. Here's a few pics of what I got done so far. The last lower part that ties the rear arms together is giving me a little trouble in getting installed, as soon as I get that part in I'll take another pic

    Thanks 2drSE-i
    I just cut the bracket and used allen head bolts since there was no room to use a regular bolt. I found a thread that Oldblueaccord posted and did the exact same thing he did to get them installed Bracket Cuts

    Yeah, buddy!

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: Started Pulling out my Engine and Transmission today (56k I do not recommend)

    Thanks for the comments guys,
    I took her out for a short drive and took some nice tight turns too see how she handles and man what a difference the front urethane bushings and the rear lower tie bars made, she drives like a totally different car, responsive and quick in the turns and very little body roll.
    I going to upgrade the sway bars front and rear when I get the chance and $$$
