i had a buddy that came there from detroit. parked the car for 5 mins. went into a store. came out and it was gone.

stock looking hatch with hubcaps and a gsr swap. never to be seen again.

 

Shitty ------- luck then. Are you saying I shouldn't drive the car anywhere? Sounds good. I'll just keep it parked in my garage.

 

Just get a snap off steering whell and take it everywhere, fair enough youll look like a dick carrying a wheel everywhere but at least anyone with half a brain aint gonna rob your car.

 

havein a detachable wheel helps but it doesnt make your car theft proof. (there are ways around the wheel, whick i will not mention) I have a detachable wheel for my hatch, its just 1 more layer of added security(but works great if you have many layers of security for your car).


extra methods of security:

-remove ecu
-add kill switches
- get "the club" (for your clutch pedal)


there are alot more, if you need any help with that lmk.

 

just be careful where you drive and park. stay out of frogtown and the surrounding area and you should be okay.

 

I've got a ton of things on this piece so it doesn't get stolen :P

 

yeah, this is Paul

 

oem rockers and quarters!? Nice. Of all the panel replacement write ups I've seen this one is the best.

Bumping this back up! Got the motor finished and suspension finished yesterday. I'll try to take pics of some stuff to show you guys. I decided to not do the body work until i get this bitch running.


I ran into a bit of a problem though, maybe you guys can answer it for me:

I was bolting up the rear tranny mount (that attaches to the crossmember) and noticed that it rotates the engine forward quite a bit, to the point where my driver's side engine mount looks like it's "twisting." Is that normal?! Are there different length metal brackets for that mount, and I have the wrong one? I'll get pics tonight if that makes anything better.

 

Innovative mounts will help that flexing.
