Hey Napalm, Ya got any idea where I can find info on hydraulic struts and shocks for an early 90s J-body GM car?

My '93 Ponty Sunbird is Chevy Cavalier-based and I hear about people juicin' those alla time.

I can devise my own tank, solenoids and dump valves, but I'd rather not have to re-manufacture and machine a set of OEM struts from scratch. I know the kits are out there-I just can't seem to get a handle on prices and application and availability. I only need to find the actual uspension components.

'Preciate any info ya might be able to happen upon :wink:

Yer better off baggin it DB...

Air bags are less likely to fail than Hydros... and are less violent in regards to frame twistin'

I'll check into the Juice and the Bags fer ya and bring back some links

Hey! Thanks-I heard about bags-I wouldn't mind checkin' into those either...I understand the twistin' thing...but most people who install juice don't install any way to tell the pistons when to stop. A simple hydraulic pressure switch inline before each piston just like the ones on your power steering lines that bump up your idle when you turn your wheel too far. That would close the valves when a certain pressure was reached.

Most people that run juice just slap the parts on, hook 'em up and go-I'd rather run juice because of the harsh winters up here-granted, my convertible won't come out the garage uless the ground is dry, but there's always the chance the other car won't start and bags would deteriorate too fast under those conditions. I could use some info on both type systems tho.

;Preciate anything ya can find, man...I wanna be jumpin' come next summer :grin:

Nice! Very informative-and even an example of a 'J' setup w/airbags.

Now if I could just figure out how to convert English Pounds to US dollars.

was it 8:30 at night when i wrote that ? damn lol :smile:

dB you must of heard of the term jellymould before ? the shitroen 2cv is usually labelled as a jellymould .......or to some people just shitheap with a rifle loading action gear change bloody weird ideas the french come up with especially the citroen visa and others around that time with that really wired barrell looking thing off the steering column with all the switches on for everything it was huge you twisted it for one thing you pushed it for another, it was like fathoming out a rubix cube with an orange crate full of hornets and rabies infested chiwowas with lots of acidic needles in there mouths, lodged between your arse cheeks :smile: yes that did take some thought in trying to find a comparison for driving the car and using that stupid control thingy, the crate being the car.

anyroad were would the world be without ridiculous cars like this for us all to point and laugh at ?, bored maybe ?

cya all i think its late now, its dark outside so it must be night time or the oil depot up the road from me has been blown up filling the sky full of poisonous oil fumes :smile: either way i dont care itll be a quiet night and day.....

have a good one.......if not have a cold one

Hey, don't knock it! That's a cool lil' car! My wife had a '95 Accent. Lil' sluggish with the A/C on but if ya cancel the AOD it's not too shabby. They customize nice, too.

Well, my lil' black Pontiac Lemans is gonna start livin' a new lifetime this weekend....I'm giving it to my stepson who is gonna prolly be ace-ing his driving test on the 14th.

I'm replacing it with an '87 Chevy R10 Stepside pickup. Got's me another V8 to play with :wink: It's only got 67k on it and one lousy rust hole in the right rear fender. Easy fix.

Time to start customizing again :grin:

Don't get me wrong, I really like my little car... In fact, it was modded, really little of it by the first owner (I'm the third) There are false airvent on the hood, but it give it a good look, Mazda mags, yup you read right, Mazda mags, some blue lights fixed inside of the car, at the 4 sides and such... Well, the guy didn't do a good mod job, the blue lights aren't even connected to the electric box... Anyway... When I'll get the money, she'll have a complete new paint job, but I'll keep the false airvents I really like the look it give to my car... And well, the engine isn't modified a lot, only a bigger airfilter... Other youth with highly modified asian cars try to race me, cuz they think I have a heavily modified engine since my muffler is peirced... But until the cops say to me that it ain't right, I won't bother with it, cuz I don't have a lot of money...

Hmm... Ya got Maaco in Quebec? They do a good paintjob cheap!

Far as a muffelator goes, If the hole ain't too bad (crunchy, I mean), take ya a pop can and cut the ends off and sheetmetal screw the flattened leftovers over the hole with some stovepipe cement on it and the screws and it'll quiet it down and save ya some backpressure for awhile.

Failing that-head to the local parts store with 20 bucks and getya an econo-muffker that's got an inlet I.D. that's 1/8" bigger than the exhaust pipe yer puttin' it on-hacksaw the old one off right at the old inlet and clamp the new one on (not too tight-ya don't wanna warp the pipe or it'll leak), and prolly should replace the hanger, too (usually no more than 5 bucks.)

If ya know somebody with an air cutoff tool-even better than a hacksaw (torn-up knuckles really piss me off).

For $25 bucks, yer all nice and legal and yer trunk won't smell like exhaust... :grin:

If ya still want the exhaust note-a turbo muffler ain't that much either-it'll give ya a throatier exhaust note without splatter. (unless ya like that sound).

I don't think we got Maaco here... Well, I gonna look at the muffler thingmagin after I repair/repaint the trunk door... Seems like the first owner had a wing there and someone decided to pull it away from the car, leaving 4 holes and a nasty bump. Me and dad repaired the bump as much as we were capable, and I got the paint and all the stuff needed, I just need the time now... :grin: What I really find funny is that when others (mostly young with asian cars) hear a loud rumbeling noise, they don't take the time to listen if it's a muffler prob or a highly modified engine... They just get the gaz pedals to the ground and try to race ya like if there was no tomorrow...
