They have s techs on them (that may be another factor besides their age that did it, lol) Plus I need them on tomorrow, since I am working sunday-wednesday, and am not about to drive to Deals gap with a blown shock, seems like a very bad idea. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

This weekend I will be doing: a radiator swap, fix exhaust leak, fabricate a heat-shield for the intake, tune, check brakes and everything else, wash the car cause it is dirty!


Procrastination.
