Battery hold down is definitely upside down. I can't figure out how those zip ties are even attached to the fan. And strut bars are for race cars and posers

 

[coyotes]

whut.

Looking good Mike. Keep it up.

 

[Jesus_Negros]

Also your gates sticker is peeling off.

Boy, somebody sure spilled some Hatorade in here /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Looks good Mike!

I see no hating. Just some suggestions that some things may be installed incorrectly. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Actually, that battery bracket looks like it works for both shorter than standard (which is what the yellow one looks like) or standard/tall batteries. Just flip the damn thing. If it does the job w/o the battery moving and also looking fugly....... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

The strap is meant to go over the sides of the battery to prevent it from moving. I have the exact same Moroso battery box. But I use a red top Optima.

Haven't changed the emusa one for a Tial yet , haven't had a chance to put on the bC's yet either. Yeah I like to use those fan tie things. Haven't had a problem with them yet. Eventually I'd like to get some front and rear cusco strut bars later on down the line. And I'll try flipping that battery hold down bar but as of now it doesn't move or anything. Thanks for the tips guys. I don't see any hating, just suggestions and questions.

Mike, nothing is wrong with using the fan zip ties, they just aren't being used properly. There should be plastic mounting brackets that slide into the slots on the side I your fan. They are missing on yours, but that is where the zip ties goes.

 

[Jesus_Negros]

And the gates sticker

 

[GSX_TC]

Ahh ok, yeah I don think I eve had those before.

 

[GSX_TC]

I don't wanna take it off so I know which hoses I need, I suppose I could write it down somewhere but then when it comes time to change it I'll be looking everywhere trying to find what part numbers they originally were.

When you install the BC's, i suggest NOT trying to use the mounting bracket things that come with the suspension for the rear brake lines. Here's why:
1. they're awful
B. they're awful
3. they don't really work
4. they're weak and easy to bend
7. they're awful

Here's how i did it. click

^^You mean when he pays to have his mechanic install them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Mike, I had to /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[GSX_TC]

Lol Craig, thanks for the tip Anthony I'll be sure to do something just like that when I have them installed and set up.

Big thanks to Ed Dobryzn (Blufalcon) for selling me this carbon fiber gauge pod that mounts to the factory driver side speaker panel on the dash.

But how will you listen to jamz now?

 

[GSX_TC]

I listen to the music of my engine =)
