Nooks are good and always available. Toolman's on this board look great (capped ends) and the price is good too from what I recall.

 

[Toolman]

I will send you a pair Prophet. $85 shipped.

 

[SHOMurph]

Im interested. Are they the long ones or the short ones?

Can you post a pic?

Thanks,

UPS just drop off the subframe connectors , strut towers braces should get here friday,im gonna need a little more power to make up for the added weight,either nitrous or go on diet to make up difference ,how much weight will these mods add.need to count my calories ...lol

Make sure to let us know how big a difference they make to you. Yes, everybody who has them says they make a big difference. It's just nice to hear the reinforcement of an opinion.

Enjoy your SHO this weekend Prophet!

Rick

Now I want some SFCs too!

 

[PROPHET]

I got them in i didnt go wow like most ,you hear your exhaust in the cab more ,im gonna take it to hills see the difference ,you do feel more connected to back end,while car was lifted looked around a bit man that H brace bracket whatever its called ,flimzy thats gotta go.i came straight home to let you guys Know the guys says he will fabricate and install sub frame connectors for 100 bucks ,San Jose Muffler Shop [408]298-5170 call ahead of time so he can order material .Strut tower braces in soon oh yeah and that H-brace too that is a must

The creaking and the vibration at around 4k rpms are not allowing me to concentrate on the better handling or even enjoying the ride for that matter.as of yet thumbs down if i cant get the exhaust not to vibrate or creak ill proabably have it removed ive heard others have had same problem ill look into fixing.

 

[PROPHET]

Fixed the creaking and most of noise ,took a ride up Mount Hamilton road and the verdict is in WOW the car was glued to the road i was here yesterday what a difference nice road, third gear highest i got a headache from all the g-forces and altitude changes a lot of high revs on first and second this is an awesome road goes for about 40 miles ...verdict WOW

For $100 installed it sounds like this would be the best bang for my buck as far as inexpensive handling mods goes (*inexpensive* handling mods? What are those? )

Rick

 

[PROPHET]

the best bang for the buck would proabably be the buick strut towers for seven bucks from www.GMPARTSDIRECT.com part 12456148 one will fit your front and other can be made to fit your back ,youll have a nice suspension for 125 bucks thumbs_u i got my Intrax springs and kyb struts from SUMMIT racing for 400 bucks ,money saved is money for other mods.

Toolman,

are these the long ones? if so, i may be interested also.

post some pics for us!

 

[PROPHET]

i got everything in the sbcs and tower braces ,stiff as a board,handles like champ,super glue on the twistees...im still getting a nice chirp on first gear roll and punch it at about 3k and then hang on your going for a ride ,it did help on over all performance ,car is much quicker ,and car is a lot more in control at those real high rpms on first and second,im not much for the quarter mile but this thing with a little shot of nitrous would be a hand full...HE HE,well Christmas is around the corner wife says "no supercharger or turbo " said nothing about nitrous.

I got Nook's Long ones about 6 months ago and I noticed a nice difference in the handling.. especially the corning of the car. THX Nook..

 

[Toolman]

Yes, they are the long ones. I am at work now, and do not have access to pics, but I will get some up soon. As I do not visit SHOforum as much as I did in the past, you will have better luck contacting me via e-mail ([email protected])

 

[nc89sho]

toolman, do you know how much those weigh??
I may also be interested

 

[SHOZ123]

The long bent ones I have weigh 23.5 lbs.

I would go with the short ones.

 

[PROPHET]

the shortys 20 pounds ,big deal .Get optima battery and fiberglass hood,anyway with the extra traction youll be faster even with extra 23 pounds.

 

[Toolman]

My long ones weigh less than 17 lbs. Here is a pic.
