  • this was a biiiooooccchhhh..gauges workin ;)

    why I hate interior mods........

    got the radio removal tool, radio came out no prob..... eveything was pretty easy accept the lower console kept hanging up on something, one of those things where you keep to hear something go "snap".....and then its #%$*^%$ but it didn't.

    the plug was neatly taped and jammed into the crevace beside the right center ac vent



    here's the scene before I found it.....



    the rewards are worth it..alls well that ends well........

    reading oil pressure in bars is kinda......cool!!! lOL

        winter? awful......... with this kind of torque?.... maybe if he got an automatic, and put tall narrow snow tires on, and drove with an egg between his sole and the gas pedal...... granted, the weight distribution is not too bad.. but I personaly would not want to drive in snow with this car.....even if i wasnt a "fair weather driver".....

                broh, I'm not trying to burst any bubbles or take wind out of sails, I'm just speaking from years of experience with muscle cars as everyday drivers in 4 seaons....before i was able to isolate them only for fair weather cruising. mary, my wife, got caught in a sudden snow storm one day on the way home from work on our 97 hawk...... she was light footing it up a hill...it downshifted, put her in a 360 degree spin into oncomming traffic, they missed her and she slid up into a parking lot a Church....she was real lucky..... i have a lot of stories like this one......from way back.....LOL...

                tell him to get the goat and a beater for bad weather

                      Unless u live in So Cal. HA ha ha No snow ever unless u drive up to the mountains then drive back down and drive to the beach and go surfing...lol only in Cali... I hope it does not rain like last year. That was fun but also awful. Nothing like LA traffic plus Christmas traffic. ha ha...j/k
