Well I just recieved my FSTB today in the mail. I bought one off ebay for like 25 bucks. Well, I am not very mechanicaly inclined but it looks pretty easy to install. Is there anything I need to do special or just bolt that thing on under the existing nuts? I have a 2000 SE. If anyone can give me any information I wuld appreciate it, thanks

 

yeah thats pretty much it. make sure your car is on level ground when you do it. and torque the bolts correctly.

 

Make sure car is on a flat surface. A torque wrench would come in handy too. I think you're supposed to tighten the bolts to 32-38 lb/ft. Don't quote me on that, I'm not exactly sure.

 

yea its 32-38.. keep it in the middle at 35

 

On my car I placed everthing on see if it would bolt right on and on the drivers side of the car the metal plates that hold the air box are in the way. Anyone know what I am talking about and any solutions

 

Anyone have any suggestions? I thought I remember this being talked about before if anyone can link me to the old thread.

 

It shouldn't be in the way. Grab some cold beer and think. You can do it.

Allright everyone, I got it installed. It was easy. I was worried about the piece being in the way because it appeared to be when i just place fitted everything. Piece of cake install was a breeze. Thanks everyone for your help and input on this stupid question I had. Overall I am really satisfied with the effects on the steering. Just took it for a ride. The front end definately seems to be a little stiffer. For 25 bucks you cant go wrong, it looks cool under the hood also. Thanks again!!!
