Spohn has a huge sale going on

I think I'm going to drop $600 or so into sway bars, LCA's/ relocation brackets and subframe connectors. My car is long overdo for some upgrades.

The multipoint sfc's are very nice, you can really feel the tightness and rigidity brought back to the body.

You can have the bill if you want :P

I got subframe connectors, LCA's, relocation brackets and subframe connectors. Didn't get to install them yet. My tranny started acting very strange. Sometimes, it feels like my clutch is really slipping badly under acceleration, but the clutch has less than 6,000 miles on it and releases at the usual point. Sometimes, it feels like I have to rip it out of first gear. It sounds like it would if you forced it out of gear without using the clutch. My suspension is off too. My steering feels a little loose and wobbly. I really think I'm going to try and sell this P.O.S. I just got the damn thing running again and it's already giving me problems. My plan is to sell it, get an economy car and see where I am financially in about a year. Forgot to mention, just found out my A/C compressor is blown. This car is awesome.

That's too bad to hear that the car's giving you problems after spending that money...

Forcing the trans out of gear wont hurt it unless you smash the shift slider into the next gear face before the syncro can get the next gear to speed with the mainshaft...

I actually have a good first gear with a good syncho if you need parts, also have the shift selector too...

One problem is solved. The car doesn't drive as well in hot and humid weather, but that's to be expected. It seems a bit too dramatic for that to be the only thing wrong, but I suppose it's possible. It still doesn't grab and go right off the line, like it should. Since that's out of the way, I can move on to issue number two.

How difficult would it be to install sway bars? I don't want to mess with the LCA's and I'm not touching the SFC's (even though they seem to have bolt holes, despite Spohn saying they're weld- in). I might consider keeping the SFC's if they're easy to install and I like the difference, but I'm thinking of just selling everything. Now that the car isn't running so poorly, I'm debating whether or not to keep it. The nose and rear bumper are faded and would need to be painted, the car has 120,000 miles on it and the A/C compressor is blown. What could I really get for it, even with the rebuilt motor? Probably not enough to justify selling it. If I'm lucky, I'd make enough to break even with what I put into it...plus, I dread the though of having to drive another economy car with no torque. The year and a half I spent in my Del Sol were beyond torturous. It simply didn't fit my driving style.

Sway bars are super easy, hardest part is breaking the old rusty end links off (they will need to be replaced).
