Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
Nice I can definitely use that info. Gotta do the coolant elbows now, the o ring one the intake manifold side has gone bad and is shooting out like old faithful. They where replaced but with the OEM plastic ones. I'm going to get the dorman metal ones and OEM rings. Went to the junkyard and found a ...

That's good to hear I've lost a few cars to rust. Glad you are keeping it together and not giving up.

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
I'm trying to go for a 9.5-10 wide at the very least on the rear. I need to dig out my wheel fitment tool also, I need to find either a replacement for the vacuum lines or custom make some I was looking into my high idle issue. I have found the lines have become very brittle and have started to leak.

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
So a few updates, the company that made the custom bags has gone out of business. :sad:

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
SO this past weekend I 90% completed the suspension. :beerchug: I still need to do some wire tucking and sorting but the system is fully functional and working. I need to get different wheels and tires to go lower and modify the exhaust to not hit the ground when laying out. She looks so good. For ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
Update: I have ordered my Management system along with a tank and compressor. I am looking for some custom rear shocks and may look into 2004 rear Impreza coil overs and just remove the springs. Still undecided about wheel selection. Car is put away for the winter and I probably wont make any ...

Re: My 97 Lesabre Project
Yeah they definitely are the have some good weight to them. The bags themselves are nice and thick aswell if memory serves the bags have a 5 year warranty. Idk I'd have to recheck. The rear brackets are really thick.
