Got a call from the dealship and said my GXP was good to go!!! Put in a new turbo bypass valve and changed the MAF sensor. Will pick her up later today and see how she runs. Vroom Vroom.

Put on some new wheels I got last Tuesday at TireRack. Kazera KZ-J that were on sale for $59 each.
Couldn't pass on that deal.

Looks Good!

About a month ago I ran over a possum at 80 mph at night and he took out the R front fender well and cracked the RF fender. Yesterday I replaced the fender with a new one from ICS and today I got her back from the body shop where they installed the fender well and brace. No more worries about driving in the rain!

DirtyMike: can you please share some prices for those?

Brazen17:

RedSkyMan: what is the weight of one of those? 18x8?

RedSkyMan · « **Reply #1233 on:** July 16, 2010, 08:45:09 PM »

Kelu,

They were shipped in two boxes by UPS, and each box was 58 LBS, so each wheel weighed about 29 LBS minus the weight of the box.

i wish they had the rk cf rear for quad tips for sky. they only fit dual solstice tips

Kelu · « **Reply #1240 on:** July 17, 2010, 07:00:46 PM »

DirtyMike: thank you for the price, I checked the prices locally for oem and flywheel is $400 and the clutch is about $300 so that is a great price for stronger versions.

Today I have installed Z0K bars, I was missing a bushing and I re-used the bushings and the clamps from the FE3 ones.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1241 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:25:25 PM »

Kelu,
I am assuming you know that the front clamps and bushings are the same for the Z0K bar.
The ones in the back are definitely different size and the ones from the FE3 suspension are to small.
So if the ones in the back are the ones you were missing try to get the Z0K one as soon as you can.

Kelu · « **Reply #1242 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:32:44 PM »

I didn't knew that, I received only 2 clamps and one bushing, but the bushing from the FE3 fitted and kept those. Will not be a problem to switch them, to replace the bars was a lot harder in 98F working on a garage with too small hole (under the car) for me.

I will look forward to replace if they will remove the winter squeaks will be nice.

LatinVenom · « **Reply #1243 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:45:34 PM »

Kelu,
They look like they fit but it is actually to small. The FE3 bushing is I believe a 25mm and the one from the ZOK is 27mm for the back.
The front FE3 bracket and bushing is the same for the Z0K Front bar, I believe those are 33mm.

Kelu · « **Reply #1244 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:50:09 PM »

In next shipment from US I hope I will get it. THANK YOU for info LV

Any suggested place from where I can order it (except CED)?

Sol Asylum · « **Reply #1245 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:09:19 PM »

If its a GM part I would think you could order it from an Opel dealer. Worth the call to find out.

kennysabarese · « **Reply #1246 on:** July 18, 2010, 09:59:12 PM »

I have extras I can send you.

Why didn't you read the billion threads on installing the Z0K bars before you did this Kelu. Cmon....

Kelu · « **Reply #1247 on:** July 19, 2010, 02:20:44 AM »

SA: Opel dealership

Went there and asked for Z0k bars, after 30 minutes the parts guy replied "there is no such thing in our system", same for GMPP kit/sensors.

typical!!
if they knew, that would be unbelievable for an Opel!!!

IBDRINKEN · « **Reply #1249 on:** July 19, 2010, 05:53:39 AM »

so let me ask this and I did read the millions and millions of the sway bar threads. Is the only difference between the zok and the gxp are that the zok are have thicker walls.
