ok guys I have been working most of the day I finished up all the bushings and by the time you read this I will have the car sitting on the ground for about the 5th time. Later tonite after I get back from going out I'm going to be putting the tank in with the rest of the fuel system. Here are some pics for the rear bushings. I also got my exhaust the other week I'm post some pics of the best deal ever on Ebay. 75 bucks for Apexi Dual N1!

Why do you say that?

I'm going to be cutting the Y off that and running duals to a X pipe then to the 1" 7/8 headers I have for it.

Oh my gosh, it has been a long damn time since I have seen a stock LS1 exhaust manifold.

One big question I can't tell by the angle but are the new rotors actually smaller than the rusty *** ones?


Damn good labor.

I was shocked The brakes work with abuot 10 mins of bleeding. **** this made my nite I thought I was going to have to bleed the ABS block and the master and then the 4 wheels. I did get some nasty looking fluid out the line on the 1st few times of bleeding but its all out of the lines now. Today the tank!
