Hahah, 140-160

Dude, you can definitely help. Wanna help with the exhaust too? Wanna relocate my muffler to the rear of the car for me? I'll stand and watch and help wherever i can. My tach died mysteriously a couple weeks ago... Maybe because of the points??? HMMMM! Lol. I don't know. We can find out! What are you doing on sunday??? I have to work graveyard the night before(boy is that going to be fun, especially because i don't know how to do what i'm going to be doing very well, but they're strapped, and i have to do it pretty much... Money is money is good), so it'd be later that afternoon...

Also, what's your timing set at on your car? Maybe you should try advancing it and we can try and figure out why your car gets crap for gas mileage. HAve you figured out anything on that yet? How much are plugs? I am wanting to get some new ones... I was thinking of just grabbing some NGKs, and that would be fine, but if you can get something cheaper(doubt it...)... Lol. Also, do you have any experience with adjusting the steering box? I think mine might be too loose. I have some MAD play in my steering, and it isn't from the joints and rods and all that good stuff. The idler arm does have a lot to do with it, but i think the box itself also has something to do with it. And it makes sense too because it was empty for so long and is almost empty again... I need to get some really thick stuff and put it in there. What was that stuff the other guy recommended when i posted about that? I don't remember...

Whatever... It's two am and i'm wasted. Got off work at 1210 ish, and went for a nice HARD drive for almost an hour afterwards. No luck getting the brakes to fade, i need to find a better road, although that i did find out three times that my right front tire is the one that locks up =D. Maybe after we play with our cars(whenever that may be) we can go drive them in good places that you know of... And take turns going for rides in each others cars and all that good stuff. Also took it up to 6k a few times... Just needs to get that fan off of there so it isn't so loud and hopefully will free it up a bit up there, and then the SUs put on... and yeah. BLAH =D And get this, i'd pay you to help. Not a million dollars, but some money yes. And you can't say no. I never said how much. It could just be a couple pennies... ;) Or enough for a drink or, i'll shutup now.

Gnight/gmorning guys!


EDIT: Oh and i want to change the coolant too... It's getting dark...
