The one redeeming thing about michigan lol, no emissions no problems getting registered. I think I've come across his car when I first started researching the swap before I even bought my car. Sucks to do all that work and not be able to drive it to cruises and stuff. Around here a lsx or even a...

wow quite the parts list, i changed almost all the cooling stuff as i came across it replacing the oil cooler, the brakes are all new now after the isssue i had with the rears, including the fluid. the cops and plugs were done recently and theres some other maintenance stuff i have recipts for...

yeah i just don't want to dump a ton of money into it just keep it on the road as a dd. if i have to start spending 800 here 1,000 here and amounts close to that i rather just keep it as a slow project and do what i kind of envisioned for it in the beginning. I will look into the solenoid pack...

I take it you have some experience with the issue lol?

its a 2003 LS v8, i got the car off a friend and his family had owned the car since new. it was well maintained and i expected some maintenance costs but not to the extent of some of the things that have popped up lol. the trans to date has been fine, when i first started using i had a harsh...

so this $800 bargin is quickly becoming a couple thousand money pit. a few day ago i was driving down the hwy and went to pass a lady that cut me off as i was traveling in my lane, as i punch it to go around the car went to downshift but it was like it didn't know what gear and bounced off rev...

there is a dye that can be put into the cooling system but i'm not totally sure if it will seep through a small crack that pressure is escaping from but not coolant. i had this issue but it was after i flushed the cooling system because this car has the most complicated bleed procedure i've ever...

sorry, dont mean to hi-jack your thread. i'm really interested in how you did the lsx swap. i actually bought my car with that intent as soon as something major craps out. i've seen them done but never anyone that's active on a forum that you can ask questions and get some finer details.

yeah i was carful to keep the resivior full as bench bleading a MC is pain, my buddy that was helping is just as anal as i am about following procedures so he kept his foot down. the only thing i could think of is would the fronts require bleeding if only the rears were worked on? my assumption...

like most have said, as i just finished mine tonight lol. if everything is tight,caliper bracket bolts and the 2 bolts that attach the caliper to the pins there shouldn't be much play. maybe just take it apart make sure the pads are set right, nothing is cross threaded or hung up and reinstall...

Thanks for the help guys, here is an update. So I went with the method I know best which is having a buddy pump the brakes, the new calipers, hardware, brackets, rotors went on without a hitch. We started bleeding the rears beginning with the side furthest from the MC, and by the time we...

Thank you, I believe the auto store I purchaced the calipers from rents them so I'll make sure to get it. Do they require any special type of bleed procedure or will one of those hand pump vacuum ones cut it?

So ran into a snag on what was supposed to be a simple job of replacing rear pads. the driver side caliper must have been frozen for some time as the inner pad was down to nothing and the outer pad was ok, pins were also frozen too. long story short i went ahead and ordered 2 new calipers...

curious what were the parts you purchased and from where? i have a 03 with the in-dash six disc and would like to do the same thing. looks really good.

thanks, 255 is pretty good width. i totally forgot these are only 7.5 wide, i'm used to dealing with mustangs and trucks lol

thanks i found a place here in michigan also but at 75 a wheel and the new ones only costing me 150 i went for the 5 spokes. even though i actually kind of liked the factory chrome mutlti spoked ones. they just fit the look of the car to me, but the 5 spoke are nice too and had the center caps...

so i finally found some rims for my car at decent price. the original chrome 17's were corrided so bad they didn't hold air for more than a couple days. I picked up the stock silver 17in 5 spoke wheels. My question is will a 265/40/17 or a 275/40/17 work on all 4 corners?

so to go with the 3600 ones being recommended for headlight use they will require one, do they come as a plug and play type kit?

excuse my ignorance, but will a switch to led headlights require any type of add-on or modification like when you go to hid and need to add a ballast?

^^Thanks!!! We've been emailing, amazing response time. He is looking into a specific aux adapter for my year, I don't want to commit to an iPhone/iPod type only so Andy is going to look based on my year for aux only. Going to take the advice from the others on here and not do the tape deck idea...
