    I'm sure that's a lot of it. o2 sensor sure helped too

    Got my rear suspension dialed in. It works awesome! So much better without all that static sag, the car has much less body roll even though I have a stock festiva beam, stock festiva front sway bar. Here are a couple more teaser pictures. I'll post a write up next week.


    Stock parts you say?
    I am very interested in this write up.

    $200 closer to reaching my goal after a grueling few hours yesterday putting a new heater core in a '99 Exploder! Hopefully my wheels and a couple other things will sell soon and I'll have enough to get footers and block done and slab poured. I'm doing this all without going into debt or dipping into savings so it could take a while. If I ever finish the Galant that should be a decent paycheck though

    Turns out the shift gate was bad on the trans I started working on the other day, one of the welds at the top had broke from when the magnet was caught in it. Threw the shift gate from the other trans on it, and it seems to be working fine now. Was all set to seal up the case and realized I didn't have any sealant.

    Filled up! My good MPG seems to have returned. Last two tanks were 39.4 and 39.6 respectively. Not bad for a paper route. I'll have to fill up like every 3 days

    Finally worked on the blue car. Brake lines. Lots and lots of brake lines. Replace one, another would pop. Let Sarah take it on the maiden voyage around the block. Locked up a caliper and needs a master cylinder. Isn't it grand when they sit?
