Guest Anonymous Posted September 27, 2002 Report Posted September 27, 2002 I got my STB yesterday. I can't believe how noticeable it is having it on there. Here's a few pics. It still needs painted,though. Hopefully this weekend. Quote
Brian P Posted September 27, 2002 Report Posted September 27, 2002 Did yours come wrapped like a bar of chocolate too? It's impossible to get this tape off! ANd to think I paid $7.50 ship! Quote

LukeZ34 Posted September 27, 2002 Report Posted September 27, 2002 Yep Yep Yep Sweet! What's the part number for that bad boy? Did you order it from GMpartsdirect.com? Quote
Lee Posted September 27, 2002 Report Posted September 27, 2002 It looks tall but it must fit. I have a FE1 Regal that could use some stiffening. I await the part number/ordering info. $18 total????? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 27, 2002 Report Posted September 27, 2002 I bought it from someone on here so I don't have a part #. I can get it though. EDIT: Part # 12456148 Quote
per0781 Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 use laquette thiner to get the paint off, thats what patgizz told me to do. Paul Quote
Brian P Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 I'm so lazy I still haven't unwrapped it. I should install it this way! Quote
per0781 Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 put the food down, and exercise bye unwrapping the bar. Paul Quote
Brian P Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 Put tha Cookie down! Heh, "im browsing the board with cookies" LMAO Quote
93 Cutlass Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 How hard is it to install? What I mean is, do you bolt it down using exsisting holes/bolts, or drill new ones? Just ordered mine as I'm typing this. Can't wait to get it!! Adam Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 28, 2002 Report Posted September 28, 2002 You have to drill new holes. Set the bar where you want it and mark where the holes need to be. Take the 3 nuts off the strut tower and drill the plate where you marked the holes. Then just bolt it down. Quote
dykz34 Posted September 29, 2002 Report Posted September 29, 2002 FYI, it wont fit the DOHC cars without washers. Quote
SuperBuick Posted September 29, 2002 Report Posted September 29, 2002 Thats because cars with the 3.4 suck. uuuuh wait, I have one, nevermind.... Quote

Vegeta Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 yeah, they just suck so bad cause you have to overhaul them every 60k, and it takes rocket science to change the timing belt! Thats a joke...since I now have to state in my posts that I am joking because everything thinks im so damn serious all the time...suckers. Quote
SuperBuick Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 Uh Ben, you know it really offends me that you said timing belts take rocket science to change a timing belt because my moms brothers friends cousins doctors landscapers sister is a rocket scientist. Next time try to be a little bit more sensitive. Quote
Vegeta Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 Yeah, im sorry. I should have realized that even a rocket scientist is too damn stoopid to do the 3.4 DOHC timing belt. Seriously, it must be the hardest damn thing in the world to do. I lost a finger just looking at the setup, I can't imagine what would happen if I EVER picked up a wrench. Quote
Brian P Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 You have to drill new holes. Set the bar where you want it and mark where the holes need to be. Take the 3 nuts off the strut tower and drill the plate where you marked the holes. Then just bolt it down. I dont think you had this problem, seeing that you have the normal hood light. I have one of those retractable lights I want to install (the car never had one) I remember someone saying they had to move it...where is a good spot that it won't interfere with the bar?? Is it a matter of like an inch or does it have to be in a spot totally away from it? Quote

Brian P Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 Bolt on? You mean the one from the convertible that's attached to the plates from the factory? Have a pic? Also Shawn while you're here I have a question about your rear sway bar Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted September 30, 2002 Report Posted September 30, 2002 Yep, that's the one! You can kinda see it here: It's skinnier than the F-bar kit, but it's also much heavier because it's solid instead of hollow. What would you like to know about the rear sway bar? Quote
Brian P Posted October 1, 2002 Report Posted October 1, 2002 Do you have the addco rear or did you just stay with the stock? I wanted to know if the thicker bar has a stiffening effect beasides just cornering (like you have a stiffer spring IE wont bottom out, handles rear passengers without dragging its ass, etc) since I noticed that when I put the bigger solid front bar in. Thanks! Quote
