Oh, and it feels damn fast now too!
Your car was never a POS, but I get what you are saying. There is nothing like doing surgery on your car to bring you closer to it!!

LOL sounds like you are saying you have been out driving my car, but I get what you are saying. Nice!

I was thinking about it. Kind of just a feeler for now.

I was in my " I want a truck" phase for like 2 weeks.

Now im trying to get some new coilovers lol.

I made a 7 year commitment so I might as well follow thru with it instead of trying to trade it in....lol. then I can have my truck and my scoob.

Took my car to an exhaust "shop".
More like a guy in a tree service yard with a shed and a lift lol.

Told me he couldnt help me out but just seeing my car on the lift was help enough....

Found out I lost a bottom nut off my downpipe and a whole nut and bolt off my axleback LOL.

Perrin downpipe fits like crap.....so im trying to get in late on that grimmspeed downpipe group buy cause they said it fits fine with the 4eat.

498 shipped for divorced catted with 3D cut wastegate transition for optimal flow.

Crossing my fingers they can hook it up!

Measured my tread depth front versus back. 6 months / 6500 miles and already wearing out the rears twice as fast as the fronts. Time to rotate and quit goofing around long enough to save up for a new set.

You're always welcome to ask to sit shotgun in mine for a quick trip up the freeway. Just make sure I'm actually going to make the Wed's Fremont Meet on that specific day and be there.

You're as bad as Hide. No, I don't believe you should have to buy fuel and separator filters every 8,000 miles along with a gallon of blue dyed deer ****.

Stepped down from intended purchase (CCSB 2500 CTD 4wd) and got the QCRB 1500 4wd/Posi 5.7l instead. Hearing some stories about issues w the 6.4l I made a good choice. I get 13 to 16 city and 23-25 highway, both b/c of cylinder deactivation.

Payoff, please, I straight traded my Forester in w money still due on it and just added another 8k to the loan. It's only money after all.
