and i'm the one that mentioned skid plates for them. i was going to make them while i was at the shop boring out my spare throttle body but i had to get home after the throttle body got done. i will make them but i'm not sure when.
ha i just used them last night actually for the tailgating reason. guy was so far in my butt that i couldnt see his headlights in my rear view mirror. so i let him have it lol. keep them on for about 30 seconds and flipped them off lol. he backed off awful quick after that lol

it should just take a 1 second flip on, flip off to get someone to back off. i know mine will hurt your eyes if you get down to ricer level and look at them.

and bluebeast, i know. probably should have put a nsfw tag on the post.

i don't blame ya. i can't stand a tailgater.
i've been known to slow down considerably when somone runs up on me.
a brake check always works too.

a friend of mine has been known to stop in the middle of the road in that situation (slowly, not like a brake check), then take off again as if he had just come to a stop sign.

when i pulled the cat, i found out why it was rattling, the internals had fallen apart and were loose (small chunks fell out when i dropped it

Default The usual things...

Needed an earl change real bad. Went round two with the Royal Purple and a Napa Gold Filter. Reconditioned the K&N Intake Filter and called it a day.

While crawling under the b*tch, noticed the rockers are going to need some serious attention in the near future. It's not terrible yet, but i'm sure the New England weather will do her proper.

Haha I do that nearly every time. Back roads are the best...

I CANT STAND tailgaters. They **** me off.

Back on topic..I gave my baby a bath today. I am waiting on my Haynes manual and NTK o2 sensor (hopefully fits right!) in the mail.

I bought tune-up stuff the other day as well as oil/filter for my next change. Will prob put that on as well. And I need to look into the Hughes plenum plate as well. I think mine is bad. $$$ lol


EDIT: What do you guys think of this brushguard? Good deal? Idk the brand. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/1478181006.html
