My new 1LE website!

Today I announce the creation of what may possibly be the largest 1LE website on the planet. We still have more content to add. So keep your eyes on it. But when we are done we will have over 100 photos for the 1LE front brake upgrade alone.

Go to www.3rdgensolutions.com and enjoy!

Thanx,ANDYZ28

Thanx for all your effort on this subject.

This is the one big mod I'd like to get done before racin' season starts.

Yeah, As many of you will recall. I have been promising this for over a year now. I spent over 70 hours taking, editing, and annotating these photos. I think this will be a big help to ALL of the 3rd gen owners. I wish I had this kind of info when I did mine.

And stay tuned. Their is still more to come. I am going to do the same thing for the rear DRUM-TO-DISC conversion. You will have to get your own shims though!

Thanx,ANDYZ28

That 1le section is AWESOME...I definitely bookmarked your page, and it reminded me to check my door hinges when I get home

Thanks for posting the 1LE info...it makes it easier for me to visualize what the parts are that I need, when I do the swap.

As for that other post where someone thinks the hinge repair kit is too expensive...he probably goes to junkyards and gets used oil "cause he won't be screwed by the high prices set on new oil by the oil companies"...In other words, don't worry about it.

Keep up the good work!

We have a young guy who works part time were I work. Despite the generation difference, we get along quite well. So if you don't mind I would like to quote him here. "DUDE!!" He always points his finger straight at me when he says this.

Thanx,ANDYZ28

Wow! Rock-on Andy!

You've definitely put yourself solidly in the running for the 2002 Thirgen MVP with this one.

Thanks.

Eh, i have seen better

I assume that's you smack in the middle of the conversion page. It's good to put a face to the emails and phone calls.

The site looks awsome!!

Don't forget to include a section about the 1LE chassis bushings. I just installed them all in my firebird and -WOW- what a difference. I wrote a thread called "1LE front bushings" in this suspension section. I've included all the part numbers from GM along with the prices of each. I think it would make a nice addition to your website. Good luck.

We just upgraded the 1LE front brake upgrade page on the website. Many new and more detailed photos.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanx,ANDYZ28
