Finally got some new tires on the rear, last week I broke the belt at 120 "KMH" not mph, because thats just recless. anyways, tire was somhow still holding air, but 1/3 of the belt was missing from the inside!!! I had no clue it was that fucked up. I just thought it bulged. worst part is I was still beating on it. 1 tuff tire. new tires made a BIG differance. thanks to my buddy matt buying me some used ones.

long story short I probably should be dead or injured, But we had no clue untill we got them off what it looked like, my other tire was messed up also, but the belt was mostly intact. I need to start checking my tires more often. I wouldn't of driven on that thing if I would have looked, I've been driving about 70 miles a day also.

Yanked out my A/C, found a big ole huge ants nest inside the unit under the dash. Luckly it was confined to the A/C housing and it was long dead/abandonded.

I put insurance on her, washed her, polished out the scratches, fixed the stereo, fixed the muffler, and drove her! Holy crap I missed my car.

Today I get to change the oil, struts/springs, wheels, wiper motor, fix the 10-4-10 boost pattern, fix the passenger door handle, fix the ebrake, and fix the dent on the pass rear quarter.

Loaded a different map that corrected my tach rpm problem. I don't feel the torque of from the other map though. I need to sit on a dyno with a proper tuner.

Nice Jesus! Lookin good! I got the oil cooler mounted, but with the factory lines I couldn't keep my rad and e-fan. had to go to a short style rad and stock fan. which pissed me off. Then the rad hoses won't fit, so I'm installed and mostly ready and at a stand still. The temp sensor on this rad is up top and a 2 prong bullet style too, so not sure what to do about that as well. The temp sender on the water pump has a different plug as well. I even have a temp sender on my J-spec waterneck, but it's a single spade connection........................... so for now I'm just staring frustrated and wanting my daily driver driving!
