Those pics in post 1 are from today.. These next 2 pics are from yesterday.. I had a rear caliper bracket bolt back out on the passenger side rear the other day driving home.. So I went and replaced the bolt, took the drivers side caliper apart and lock tite both sides on the rear.. Next up is the front..

how I found my caliper......


Scored the inside of my wheel

LOL, man where do I start. My paint looks like my clear coat developed cancer, sail panel is bubbling & the actual base coat is peeling up now where the bubbles are, tranny is grinding & needs a rebuild, clutch is about gone too.

My interior is finally coming together though. The car is driveable still cause I drive it everyday, its just **** bothering me. I cant afford the new clutch/tranny rebuild till bonus time at the end of the year so I'm prayin it hold out. Then I'll keep prayin my 170k mile stock short block keeps holding out till tax time so it can get yanked & fresh gaskets/ring tossed in.

Car is just really starting to show its age. Its kept outside year round & driven year round. Its just finally taking a toll on it.


^^Lucky you caught it before it fell off & took the brake line with it man. That could have been bad.

Yup I'm glad I caught it in time thats for sure... That bolt was a PITA to track down.. I drive for 3 hrs and 100 miles yesterday to find it.. Everyone kept looking up the wrong p/n

I guess that's why I'm glad i don't DD mine.. My car still feels brand new. Has 50,3xx miles on it. Garaged year round..

All my friends make fun of me b/c I never drive my car. Never seen snow, and has seen rain since 2006..

Cool, but you need some back up jack stands under there! I have been hearing about too many people recently crushed under their cars because something failed, always have a back up! Your 3 yr old will thank you!

AND, is that stock decarbon shocks? Dude those So have to go, they suck right off the line, last 20k miles max, toss those asap! The difference in ride quality is night and day, trust me

Other than that, killer ride
