  • K-member installed

    Got my car back on friday with a new k-member and A-arms. The shop had to take off the rest of my a/c to get to the motor mounts so I told them they could leave it out. So that's 70lbs off the front currently. Lightweight battery relo is next followed by long tubes... Wonder what this new combo will bring.

      BMR, and I was having issues finding the right length belt which I ordered online. I just hadn't gotten around to taking the compressor out when I dropped the car off. Nothing else removed yet. Thinking of some other little things like hood pins, maybe airbag removal, take a drill and start drilling holes in things that weigh too much...

              I think Craig wants to remove the front latch assembley and just add pins to the front, leaving the stock hinges in the rear.

                ummm i think BMR sells a k-member without motormounts that you could put 3.4 mounts on if you really wanted to.

                  I got a BMR kmember with motor mounts. so much room to be able to get under the car and do a tune up on this new motor for it. it saves alot of space, it lowers front end weight. we all want to do that. its stronger. and its much much better looking. i love it. so much better then anthing GM ever made.

                    Me and Josh at FTPP are about to get a tubular K member made for 3.4's.

                    Theres going to be a GP here soon. Normal price is $339 + shipping. If we get 4 (already have 2)people then there is a 10% discount. I'll make another post later today about it with more details.
