Rest of the day will be sorted there. The non-locals want to head to Va. Beach to check out the fat tourist chicks from WV and get tickets. Also under consideration is a cruise (& pic ops) on Colonial Pkwy. Langley races is a possibility, too.
and take pictures nect to the no cursing signs

i dunno man, you got everyone on JBO saying you were there and showed up unannounced =P

--- so exhaust is installed.. i got some bugs to work out, but i feel a major gain driving the car...

the exhaust cut out sits about 2" from the ground... so i need to get this mounted higher... and i need to get a better gasket on it, because the one that came with it from QTP leaks like a siv...

can anyone tell me if the LSJ muffler is supposed to have a weap hole near the center/rear of the muffler that exhaust gasses come out of. it doesn't seem to make noise, but i can feel the air from it...

ive noticed now that the wideband wants to sit around 12.5 instead of 14.7 at idle,

just pick up some grade 8 bolts for it and the should be no problem!

ive always just used an air chisel for the rivets! if that helps any

I've slowly been paying attention to G M S P O R T C O M P A C T and Y O U R C O B A L T which are both better in a few aspects. Plus CSS is kinda losin it's thunder to friendly sites. YC for instance, has a big 2.2 community so there isn't so much hate on 2.2 owners because they can't afford an LSJ or LNF. Not saying it's anyone of you guys. You guys and a few others are the only reason I even check CSS. Some people around treat 2.2 owners like we don't belong here cause the site is Cobalt "SS." Never saw that in the User Agreement.

GMSPOCOM is better...well, I dunno I like it better lol. Friendly people. It's fairly new so there aren't any immature haters and naysayers on there yet, lol.

He's coming to my house Friday afternoon if you want to help. He'll be here some time in the afternoon. We ended up with Moog ball joints. They came with the bolts for install. They are pre-greased, but I have grease and a grease gun just in case. I have the tools to drill them out. Yes, I know they're gonna be a bitch. I have a few tricks too, plus the air compressor and air tools begging to be broken in. You know my number.

Steve! I told you if you're ever on KAF go to the morgue. That sounds terrible, lol. But no that's where I be. 0900-2100. TGI sucks and is over-priced. Went there when I first got here and picked 5 things off the menu before finding something they could serve and when I got the meal it sucked. =\ I'll stick with the SF DFAC.

As far as getting home, I'll prolly be heading back around the beginning of November. And pick one of two options that'd be smart Steve, keep the car and mod it and tune it blah blah or sell it and stop putting money into it! :P Doesn't seem smart to put more money into it if you're just gonna get rid of it in a year.
