Now Cold Play is on the CD and evrything is going good....Why not do the tranny mount also!
So I crawl under the car and put the jack under the rear of the pan. (remember the 2x4) I raise it up just enough to take off the "tension" The metric bolts (3 of em) come off with no hassle.
This is going to good....
I continue to remove the tranny mount and once again I have to compare the HR and the stocker....There is no comparison.
Although they use an Energy Suspension mount, they fabricate the "adapter"
I need to mention also, Their directions are short, but do a very good job of, walking you threw the process.
In the directions for the tranny mount they show, detailed, instruction on where to cut the original mount. If you arent using the stock exhaust hanger you do NOT have to do the modification. Im using it, so out comes the grinder. I make my marks on the mount and fire up the Makita....Opps, the Step daughter has school in the morning.
No grinding tonite. :frown:
Its early and Im in the working mood. So I decide the rear seat needs to come out. It was old and dry rotted and had alot of cracks in it. It looked good when I got the car, but then I touched the back while cleaning the window. Man that stuff breaks apart like no other!!
I got ahold of my friend and he said his mom does upholstery, so I called JAX and got their rear seat covers. They look very nice and Ill have pix of the install after I get em back.
That did no take long at all. So I hit the CD changer and good ole Audioslave kicks it up (the first album)
Im looking around the garage and trying to decide what to do next. I could clean it...Nahh its not too hateful. I then remembered I had Kirbans rear sear X brace. Hell yeah!!
So I dig threw my asortment of goodies and drag out the bars. Nowhere is the hardware, so the search for the bolts and instructions begins. I quickly stumble onto my Metco DS loop, behold inside the box, the directions for the X brace.
VIOLA!!! Its time to drill!!
As Im lining up the holes and braces, Im wondering if the drill is to loud...Ah heck, its only 5 holes to drill. So I quickly line em up and drill away. The whole process goes without a hitch. Although drilling the bottom holes requires a SHARP bit and a steady hand. At first my bit was wanting to walk all around. So I changed bits and pressed a bit harder. BAM, holes were done.
I alomst started the Metco DS Loop, but that requires removal of the Drive shaft. Since I have that out.....Does this ever stop????
