Oh it's on. 
And in the "Blake can't win for losing" news...
Press fit ball joint in one of the new control arms I put in last night just failed. 11 miles of use. Either the ball joint was too small or the control arm was too big. Either way, it failed. Of note, I didn't assemble the arms, they came assembled from the manufacturer. New in box.
I'm getting sick of this ****. I'm taking up knitting or something.

Have a good weekend guys!
Junkyard shopping for doors on Saturday......unless........ c'mon guys anybody........82-93 sonoma, blazer, s10,s15..........manual windows and locks.........regular cab.
Most of the places I called said that they wouldn't even price what was in the yard they were in such bad shape. But I need something that latches and windows work, so I might have to settle for some trash.

No collateral damage other than making me miss a few hours of work, and having to borrow a spare truck from my parents for a week until my parts come in. I'm using the downtime to get adjustable camber arms for the rear so that I can dial the camber in correctly and a brake upgrade/replacement.
Still need new tires for it. 225/40/18s ain't cheap. Even the cheap ones.

i'll still have more psi in the blower if my numbers are correct. 2.1 will out perform the 2 old 2.2 in every aspect, except for sound. God those old 2.2 sounded amazing.
Jake, if your bored go look up what a 2.1 will do over on kennebell.net their not to bad for a little guy. i've always got laughing gas just in case.

Yeah, the part had a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. I think 12 hours and 12 miles fits within that.

Here you go, balljoints don't only break on you, there is a recall for Eclipses too. One guy I know had $500 repair and that was just pulling out of the gas station.
Wider tires won't clear the fenders anyway.

Thats exactly how my friend's car looks currently. He pulled into a gas station or something and KABOOM!
Well I would, but it's a lot safer to have your girlfriend fellate me while I'm driving and not while she's driving.
Skyline? Truck?
Whatever it is...needs to be cheap.
