What year is the car? :p

Personally I would do the trapdoor but if your exhaust is dumped and you don't have to fight with stuck pipes than it might be worth dropping the rear.

yeah you cut a 6 foot hole out of your floor and some how find a way to stick it back in and tell me its an awesome idea.......

I'm sure you're cut will look similar when its all said and done.


From that same page. you have to cut further over on the 98 as the hard steel lines run down the tank and over a good foot. this is why i just dropped the tank.

LOL You mean 6 inch? If you look in that thread one person made a nice clean cover for the hole out of sheet metal, I would say that's the way to go. Also keep in mind lots of people don't have access to a lift or good facilities to work on the car. Many cars have these from the factory for a reason.

yeah and it can be dropped in a few hours and back up on your back with a walmart jack and stands. Thats all im saying. the 98 is a bitch. and unless turbo or supercharged or a heavy shot of nitrous where a BIG setup in the tank is being changed out or fixed frequently id drop it. Thats just what im saying.

I did mine the first time dropping the tank and the hardest part was getting the exhaust off.

KLAB 03-27-2012 04:44 AM
