  • Installed some new rear struts, replaced the mid pipe and muffler on the exhaust, welded up some pinholes in the front downpipe to get me by for a while. took it out today for a long test drive frigging thing runs great. I'm in love. got some new front ones to install just ran out of time... Sensatrac FTW.

      • Had to repair the exhaust on Babystiva today so I figured while I had her in the air, why not go ahead and install a muffler instead of the glasspack that has been on there since right after we got it. So I got a $25 AZ special. Sounds much smoother now. I'll probably put the glasspack onto chuck since he has no muffler at the moment, just a pipe straight out the back lol. But wifey will be happier not having her car droning so loudly on the highway
        No festiva for me ATM...

              • .... I still have the original struts, with the exception of the LEFT REAR, which froze up from snow and moisture with over 480,000 miles and still going strong.

                      • I pulled the speedo on Fajita and swapped the odometer numbers out with the spare speedo I had. Just popped it out with a small flathead screwdriver and popped the new one in. The needle shaft was no longer attached to the big gold thing the cable goes into.

                        Hindsight being 20/20, I shoulda lubed the cable. DOH!!!

                          Thank you. I love these bumpers. You did a awsome job fitting these bumpers to the car. Bolt on installation. Side skirts are going on when it gets a little warmer out to finish off the look.
