Changed the oil and filter. 6 quarts Royal Purple 5w30 with a K&N short filter. 5 quarts came out but I don't know how much went in or when. This is the first oil change I've done since buying the car. Also visually inspected the tires for signs of feathering or other wear.

My best friend and his wife are moving across the country to Washington state, so until they get a house with a garage I'll be keeping his Chevelle with me. Pretty neat to have them both side by side!

Alignment so the car is technically derivable, but certainly not a daily with open headers.

Finally did the Moser girdle... considering I've had it since December.



Install was straight forward. Cleaned off old gasket with razor blade. Put Permatex thread sealer on the fill and drain plugs. Used provide new gasket with Permatex high tack gasket sealant. Torqued cover bolts to 25 ft lbs and cap bolts to 5 ft lbs.

Had a chatter noise in the driveline, for the past few weeks, when decelerating, when I engage the clutch before stopping. That's gone now.

Met my dad at the local car show last night... his '02 along with my '00

I got them off amazon majestic. Number 881 on the bottom of the lights. $29.99 I just searched led fog lights and found the ones that Amazon said would match my car. Also got some for my 05 dakota. I'll see if I can get the part number for you.

Took her out to the drag strip and made 3 passes before throwing the belt, and over heating.

Pulled the Alternator since it wasn't charging. Being drenched in ATF from the power steering killed it. No ATF in system now, only Royal Purple now. Before the Alt took a ****, the power steering reservoir wasn't spilling over anymore either as it now has the correct fluid for a Turn1 pump.

Default Trailer Hitch!!!

Hey guys,
I finally got around to installing a trailer hitch and even the manufacturer says you cannot run this with true dual exhausts. However, they are wrong! Attached are a few pics and I will even attach one of new damage. The passenger front fender was broken when a local shop serviced my A/C and put the lift post in the wrong sport. Also is a picture of myself and BR-Piner at the lake and last but not least... my lifted miata.
