    firestone claims they could not break my rear tie rod bar free to adjust the toe, so i broke that free today with minimal effort. i tried to just ape on em but the bar was twisting, so i grabbed a wire brush cleaned up the threads, then sprayed some wd-40 on the threads, tapped on both lock nuts with a hammer a few times, and dont ya know they both broke free......guy at fire stone had the torch on them and failed to move em. lazy muther f ers.

    Built a smaller, sealed sub box for my W3. The old box was ported and too small, so it's hard to compare because obviously this sounds a LOT better. It's 1.125 cubic feet and 100% sealed, I made sure of that lol. Total cost including lunch for my dad and I was $55 so I'm not complaining, I'll gain a bunch of trunk space back, and it sounds amazing. My lights still dim when it hits full tilt at idle, but I'm going to drill a new ground in the floor of the trunk when I finish everything up tomorrow, I don't trust the ground on top of the strut tower brace.

    Good ole jesus clips.

    I get odd looks when I say that to people, because they never understand it at first.

    found out my vibration was caused by so far it looks like one wheel is missing the hub ring. so i measured the inside of the wheel and bought a set of hub rings.

    firestone finally got my alignment done right. the wheel is a touch off center but ill get used to it. car drives straight again, all that matters.

    and it looks like my water pump took a crap on me. pulleys got play and i got a off/on coolant leak. wet belts and balancer too. weep hole area looked dirty compared to the rest of the pump snout.

    if it aint one thing its another

    3 years! I dont feel sorry for you anymore.

    Waterpumps seem to go on me in a year and a half tops... On the last 4 GPs It would be like clockwork.
