Chancho Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 anyone got anything, or am i a rare commodity on here, wanting to do performance parts on a 1.5 gen lumina lol Quote
AWeb80 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 You Don't Need To Drill The Body. The Bar Will Fit Right Over The Rear Strut Studs. you will need to enlarge the holes on the bar a tad though. takes about 15 mins to put in if your slow. And Use The Stock Nuts Too. I Did My Brothers 2K Gp. Quote
Euro Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 really? I heard you need to drill for the GMPP bars to work on the front and rear. That's why everybody bought DonRome's stb brackets. Quote
AWeb80 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 My Brothers GMSTB Fit Perfect In His 2K Without Drilling Anything. Fits Right Over The Stock Strut Bolts Quote
runt Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 I also have mine installed over the rear strut tower bolts. I elongated two of the holes and bolted it in. I really only have it held on by two bolts, but it works pretty good, IMO. There was no way in hell I was dropping the rear suspension for a $20 bar.... '01 GP for those too lazy to read my sig. Quote
Chancho Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 Which of the 3 bolts, the ones in the front are too far away, and the ones in the rear are too close togather, and it cant go on the other side of the strut mount, does any one have pictures? Quote
Andrew Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 I really only have it held on by two bolts, but it works pretty good, IMO. AHA. i was wondering how that worked! That's why everybody bought DonRome's stb brackets. Do you know if he is still making them? I would like em. Quote
runt Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 I can't say for sure how it would bolt into your car. I know I just lined up what bolts worked on either side, made the slots longer and slapped it down. You'll pretty much just have to look and see if it works. Otherwise, I'd find someone with a machine shop to make something up for you. And what is the Don Rome stb bracket you speak of? Quote
Andrew Posted December 12, 2007 Report Posted December 12, 2007 And what is the Don Rome stb bracket you speak of? Don Rome is a member over on ClubGP, and im assuming he was making brackets like the one ZZP has for the front. Quote
Chancho Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Posted December 13, 2007 zzp makes a bracket for this, i havent seen it, and besides i dont really like em, but if they got what i need i cant complain Quote
Andrew Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 no. what ZZP makes is only for the front. it WILL NOT work for the rear. Quote
Chancho Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Posted December 14, 2007 Then im still lost as to how to get the rear mounted, i noe a few 2nd gen gp guys on here have em in, the gp's rear end is the same as the luminas, so then therefore my rstb should mount the same but i just dont see where it needs or how it needs to go Quote
Euro Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 Our strut towers might be different since the cars are different, but I'm not sure. Try this guy for rear brackets. He does them for GP's, and a lot of people have them. http://drcustomparts.com/Prices.htm Quote
Guest BrOnXBoMbAz213 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Posted December 14, 2007 2k GP is a second gen.... lumina is a 1.5, so it might be different Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 2k GP is a second gen.... lumina is a 1.5, so it might be different thats what i was thinking. Quote
Andrew Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 http://drcustomparts.com/Prices.htm thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! Quote
Euro Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 http://drcustomparts.com/Prices.htm thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! lol no problem. I panicked when CGP banned him from the boards for selling his stuff. I just happened to stumble upon his site by accident! Quote
AWeb80 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 You Can't Sell Stuff On CGP? How Gay Is That Place.....So Only Zzp and intense can market their stuff? Quote
Andrew Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 WTF!?! they banned him? (no wonder his posts stopped in sept) he should come here! Quote
Euro Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Yeah, apparently Mike gets pissed if you try to sell your products without giving him money to advertise/sell on the site. ZZP and Intense don't really market their own things on the site, or at least none that I've seen. They just banned Farnsworth last week(GR8RacingFool) because he made reference to his chrome plated valve cover bolts that he does to someone. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 I guess its a good thing that this site isnt run by people like that. Quote
AWeb80 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Geez i've had tons of group buys on there. lol Quote
Euro Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Geez i've had tons of group buys on there. lol probably because they don't bother to check the "first gen" board........ Quote
pontiacmaniac94 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Geez i've had tons of group buys on there. lol probably because they don't bother to check the "first gen" board........ ironic isn't it? and you arent even the only one doing group buys! more power to you Aweb! Quote
