yup! ^^^ if I could id rattle it myself lol. Reminds me of the damn red calipers on mine too! SMH.......

**Alix0r** · 07-14-2014

Yep i need to paint them silver but like I said I'm still picking back up the rear CTS-V upgrade.. so I figured eh what the hell lol

**Alix0r** · 10-22-2014

Finally found a sub box that would fit my system! After months of driving around without them lol. The problem was my rear strut bar and air tank were not clearing every box I measured and tried.. my buddy had this box in his Camaro to i stole it from him lol..it has a cut out in the back that fits right under the strut bar, it fits like a glove! Like it was made for my setup lol

Wanna do my car next?

Sent from BFE

**Alix0r** · 10-22-2014

Thanks man.. lol ya i can do your car but it would be expensive

**Jomamma** · 10-22-2014

No DO MINE!

Reminds me that I need to prep my system for winter.

BTW did you ever get those center strut shaft bolts to tighten?

**Alix0r** · 10-22-2014

Oh ya Jomamma ya i had to take the strut out and I ended up cutting about 1/4" of threads off the shaft and about 1/4" off the nut/tube... for some reason the nut/tube that screws down on the shaft I guess was stripped. It's tight as hell now lol

**Jomamma** · 10-22-2014

What do you mean when you say the tube?

I think mine are the same way. I feel like the nuts barely screwed on but its stuck there. I'm thinking maybe the rear bags lift higher than the maximum strut length, and it ripped the nut up?

**Alix0r** · 10-22-2014

Look in page 9 im talking about that nut but there is a threaded tube welded to the nut. The strut rod doesn't extend all the way threw the top mount to the nut/threaded tube goes into the strut mount hole and threads down the strut shaft

**Jomamma** · 10-23-2014

Ah gotcha so the nut/tube is 1 piece? Mine might be a little different. I'll have to take it out to see.

**Alix0r** · 10-23-2014

Ya its welded on the nut and the tube and nut are threaded.. it is weird when I was mocking everything up lol.. one of the tunes was too big to fit into the top mount hole so I had to enlarge the hole lol

**PurpleGuy** · 01-19-2015

I may have missed it. What brand are the struts?

**Alix0r** · 03-11-2016

And Purpleguy not sure on the brand but they were Easy Street.(Only took me a year to respond haha)

**REDCRAPGP** · 03-11-2016

And still probably rocking that red wire loom

Yup I forgets nothing!

**Alix0r** · 03-11-2016

Hahaha I was literally just thinking to my self I wonder how long it will take Red to bring up the damn wire loom! Haha

**PaintChips97** · 03-12-2016

I just read through your whole build looking for the origins of the red wire loom lol. Car looks great, god I want that Inferno hood

**Alix0r** · 03-15-2016

Lol Paintchip... It originated about 7 years ago when I thought I knew what I was doing lol My theme was silver and red... So I thought hey why not red wire loom too lol and it has forever haunted me
