Springtime Mods!

I almost forgot. I finnaly fixed my cruise and throttle cables.

the little grey coupleling on the cruise broke right at the throttle pin. A trip to the junkyard and one Ford Taurus later I had a working cruise control (free)

And for ~$35 I replaced my bent, frayed, and otherwise totaly messed up throttle cable. The pedal would go in about 3 inched before it caught.

where Zinc?

Don't know. I made my mom get it for me She was going to a fabric store when I asked her what she was doing and I told her to get me some(I was planning on buying it from ebay).

My box came with carpet on it. I just need to hook it up and mount it down, but it's supposed to rain friday, saturday and sunday =(. $195 refund in a couple days woohoo. $90 to parents and $105 to myself with $50 in the bank and $40 in my wallet. I could get the UDP, but I want money.

I built my box...got it wrong twice Had to recut it twice and right now, it has a perfect fit, but it was so pefect, that I couldn't fit it. So I laid it down flat, and during the summer I'm gonna stick it up right.

 

[AndyG47]

Here's my plan for the new box. Simple bevel corners with two neon tubes. I just made this about 5 mins ago in Valve Hammer Editor.

MM Coil-over kit.

Or

13" rotor 4 piston caliper front brake upgrade and new rotors and calipers for the back since they look like crap.

Not sure which I want to go with. My brakes are pretty horrible, and I figure, from a safety stand point, I should get the brakes.

 

[AndyG47]

I need two new rotors myself. Maybe I'll do that this year. And I'm way over due on an oil change--maybe I'll do that tommorrow afternoon. It's supposed to be really warm.

 

[AP1995V6]

I'm going to change my oil this weekend if it isn't raining. I'm like 1500 miles under, but the car was also sitting in a shop for 2 months.

 

[AndyG47]

I think the last time i did it was in EARLY december, so yeah I need to take care of theat. The only prob it that the car takes 5W20 i think we only have 10W30.

I get free oil changes for life at my dealership

I do it myself, that way I know I did it good.

 

[thebigcd89]

Well I trust them, hehee

 

[zincyellow03]

Sometimes I wish I had someone change by oil, especially during the winter months.

 

[AndyG47]

Is this too common? Icould try a slant back. gimme a few.

 

[zincyellow03]

Is that a sub box?

 

[AndyG47]

yes, here's another:

same box but with a slant

 

[AndyG47]

Oh and I just had a faimily friend of ours who runs a garage order me a Flowmaster 40 Series (not delta or super 40) for $55. What a deal! It will go on next Wednesday. ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! ME PARENTS ARE ALSO GOING TO KILL ME!!!!! been nice knowing you all.

 

[zincyellow03]

Just tell them how much you saved...even better don't tell them Are you sure those boxes are gonna fit?

 

[TMX]

my box fits woohoo. Just gotta get the box wired in =\. It would be so much easier if it was a Mach 460 system but noooo, so now I gotta pull out the stereo to install the subs and get a lead out converter. And it's gonna rain, nooo =(.

Find a garage, some trees, 10 beach umbrellas clumped together, or something else.
