It's Done!!!

Finally after quite awhile I got my shaken yesturday. I immediately ripped my stock exhst off and went back to the single last night in the damn rain in a dirt/ gravel lot. I drove it to meet up with some friends for dinner and after dinner while driving home my old crusty alternator belt decided it needed a break so it snapped/melted. hahaha this car was last shakened 7 years ago so I will have lots of issues like this in the near future. So at 10:30 I was stuck in the Family Book parking lot, I had a friend pick me up and drive me to another friends shop about 45 minutes away and picked up two new belts (dual pulley). However as usual the belts were slightly different sizes so I could not use them together but that is ok cause now I can keep one in the car as a spare for the future. So today I will be lowering down the suspension since I had to have it plenty high for shaken and i will also be having a nightmare of a job re-wiring that car! I hate those damn wire taping clips people use. I looked under the dash and saw a see of red and blue wire tap clips (ya know the ones that you can lay two wires in and snap it shut and WAALAAA you have a connection) yeh well more than half of them are not doing the job at all and the other half are gaining and losing power with each bump on the road. My radio, speakers, and boost controller, and gauges are all beeping, flashing, and crackling as I try to drive . Today will be an interesting day as I fish through the sea of clips and random wires. Maybe if I am lucky I might catch a glimpse of the original wiring harness. I will get some new pics up later once I get new wheels and tires on as well as get the suspension set up. Other than that the car runs well and is fun to drive.
