Black is better than gold. And yes, I AM a pro at photoshop :help:

02 sensor is changed, two rear spark plugs (that I didn't change before because I didn't have enough room) are changed, fuel filter is changed. The two sparkplugs only had a gap of twice of what it should have been. Needless to say between all those things, it feels good again. It actually feels like I have secondaires again. :eek:

good luck.

how retarded is this: i have a meeting at work tonight at 7:30. and this weekend i had saturday, sunday, and monday off. smack in the middle of my long weekend. how stupid.
 
I snapped one bolt but it was one that held the ypipe to the cat so that isn't a big deal. The only other problem I had was that the support bolt kept spinning and spinning and spinning. Had my father in law look at it, and he got it. So the old one is off and the new one is on. It doesn't line up perfect though. Little bit of a gap on the bottom near the cat.....put some steel putty there to seal it up. We will see how that goes. Going to fire it up in a litle bit.

I didn't wait long enough (or didn't kneed the stuff enough) for it to harden. I am thinking I didn't kneed it good enough. It blew apart from the exhaust gas presure. It is loooooud!!!! :laugh: Going to give the putty another chance tomorrow, and if it doesn't work then I will drop it and mess with the alignment some more....or something. I can feel the power difference, that is for sure. Revs up quicker....not a huge amount but you can tell.

Holy negative rear wheel camber, Batman!

I'd leave the wheels stock. Good to see she came back from paint in good shape. :cool:
 
:mad: I hate ISP's. I have been having problems with my internet lately and they are basically just telling me that "it should be working properly".:nonono::nonono:

I get disconnected at random times at night, and sometimes during the day. It's also really laggy during the day. Charter is the only one I can get right now that offers the speed I want in this area. I have 10 meg right now and Qwest only offers 1.5 here. If they had even 5meg I would switch in a heartbeat.
