Lighting is horrible since this was at 7:00 before heading to work and the sun wasn't even up yet... but they ARE on the car



Should get a better pic tomorrow though (it will be dark by the time I get home tonight

Well, it wasn't today, but Tuesday, and Wednesday, I installed a new Clarion deck, 300.1 Kicker amp, and a 12" Kicker comp in the Festiva. Sounds amazing! Tomorow I (hope to anyway) will be installing my console bucket, and my marker lights!

Got the brakes finished, I realize that it was probably the worst brake job ever, didn't machine or sand drums, didn't overhaul cylinder, didn't repack bearings. But most everything was uber clean, the PO did the bearings and the grease had no particulates in it whatsoever, I have to adjust the preload nut, everything spins so much easier with the ebrake not dragging, the left rear drags a bit from the bearing I think, drove it 12 miles home with a stop in the middle for gas. I got home and the right was barely warmer than the rest of the wheel, the left was warm as the outside of a mug of coffee. This was the absolute limit of my shop time as this was the last day of my shop class. Otherwise I would've done more. Stops better but it does need a bleeding which I can do at home.
All in All, I think I did well for figuring it out as I went, first brake job ever, and the shop teacher hasn't dealt with auto adjusters before, he just wanted to crack the line and clamp the pistons in then quickly slip the drum over after removing the clamp.

Fuelled up this morning, first time since just before Christmas.
Went from 36mpg to 30mpg ugh!

That is normal...... I did the same thing for a fill this winter.......I normally get 45mpg, and only got 35mpg for one fill! I did almost all city driving, but also a lot of idling, and some snow fun.......

Dont worry, your next tank should rebound to normal....

Those wheels look nice. Where'd you pick them up?

CL. They were from Pep Boys according to the guy I got them from. All brand new in box except for the one that he took out for the CL pic. Tires are 155/80 Douglas Xtra Trac from wally world at $41/ea. Its gonna be a pizza car so no reason to spend a lot on tires, they'll be gone in a couple months anyway. Lol

Thieves are why I love factory or old cassette decks. Cassette adapter and an iPod and you are good to go with no temptation for the thieves.

Glad you survived that one crazyrog!
