Got my TSP Rumbler installed. I absolutely love it. Its definitely not as loud as I was expecting after reading comments about it.

Just finished my twin filter intake( Big thanks to 01badbird for his help) , along with Mighty Mouse's air breather.Re- sanding my strut bar back down again and hand polishing any signs of rust off. Replaced all fluids with AMSOIL to be ready when the snow leaves! Just buying **** and replacing **** so I can keep her forever. Replaced all lug nuts with new red ones. All new front and rear sway bar ends.Sanded down the inside barrels of the rims and re-painted them chrome.

Disconnected the car from the battery tender. Then went to the emission testing place and good for another two years. The car is back in the garage and hooked up to the battery tender.

New head unit got installed, ordered STR.T fronts (shout out to Strano), gave the bird a wash, now about to take my pup on a ride with the t - tops off to see how she likes it then vacuum the interior.

I took the t-tops out today, it was 65 degrees in Southern IL, then gave it a wash. I like your positive attitude....no more snow!!

It got up to 45 here. With the sun out, it was nice enough for me to roll the windows down and take off my hoodie. Not quite nice enough to take the tops off though unfortunately.

You're gonna like those shocks. Did you get Strano's springs too?

Started my WS6 Formula and let it run for a while. Too much mud, salt and anti-skid left on the roads to take it out.

All in due time..................awww....who am I kidding...it's KILLING ME!!!!!

No but only because I have to go over so many speed bumps daily and I barely clear a few as it is. But the reviews on them are awesome and making me wish I could get them.
