psu_Crash Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Welcome and good job on the body work! We don't see to many SQs with the 2.0 around here unless they are swapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I also was impressed with the body resto work. Welcome. You'll find a very knowledgeable community here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thyssenkrupp Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Thank you all, Im not much of a tuner AT ALL, bodywork is my avenue...The idea is to keep it clean and simple with a few minor ugrades.Here are some of the things that has so far arrived in the mail; -Mookeeh ground coilovers (the worst part is that i dont know if the springs from 2.6 wb will fit? I belive thats what they were ment for.)-A wide range of polyerthane bushes here and there-Both tierod ends-A whole bag of gaskets-MSD Blaster 2 + some good NGK plugs (4 pointers)-Over valve cover pipe from Racetep.com-K&N insert-Rear top camber plates (also for the 2.6 but lets hope they fit)- Aaaaand a few other small things. So basically a tune up, but still puzzled what to do with the exhaust, seems restrictive, doesnt boost until 3300rpm...hmm...I cant see a cat anywhere either..Stay tuned, the snow is nearly gone now and I'll start putting some goodies on.. Should I be concerned regarding the stock (im sure they arent factory stock) shocks? Along with lower springs, approx 2" Taras Edited March 10, 2015 by thyssenkrupp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87redcat Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 both the wodebody and flatty use the same rear struts, so mounting holes should line up for your camber plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importwarrior Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 http://www.starquest...showtopic=66449 not sure if there is a huge difference but this is some good reading to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thyssenkrupp Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Oh trust me importwarrior, I spent all day yesterday reading this...But a little bird told me he is writing about the 2.6, is that right? Anyways, I am sure that I'll sort some of my QUESTions out once I start working on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thyssenkrupp Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Haha, dual head?? I cant recall seeing these with anything else than 12 valve heads? They look like the Sapporo heads, Sirius dash they're called I believe.Just put on some glorious stock factory wheels on it last night, how do I post a picture here?

thyssenkrupp Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 My bush-kit from GNT is arriving in the mail today! Any clues on how long i'd take me to do all of them? I have access to pretty much everything I need. Are there any hidden challenges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
