I will trade you my perfect Xbox with like 20 games for those seats. 3 controllers, guitar, big hard drive, modded, etc.
You can always find a better set of Vaders but not a Xbox like this | | | | | 08-27-2010, 04:14 AM | #588 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
I'm not that big a gamer honestly, plus I've waited a long time for a set of vaders to pop up that were close enough to not have to ship | | | | | 08-27-2010, 04:56 PM | #589 | | Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: Long Island, NY Posts: 62 |
Purchased Powerflex subframe, and differential bushings and rubber RTABs in addition to the items to make the homemade subframe bushing tool! Hope to get started on it as I try to find time between classes next wk... __________________

Nice upgrade on the seats!
My maintenance today consisted of cleaning an atomic bird turd off the window.
I don't know what that bird was eating, but my guess is a mixture of road tar and tree sap. __________________ ...

Stayed up Friday night finding and glueing rattles in the interior cabin. Drive, find rattle, glue with potatoe chip clip to hold in place. Slept all Saturday afternoon to recover after mowing 4 lawns @ 7am and then fishing with my sons on the dock  We used Bacon and still caugth fish Sunday ~ It's a lot more quiet in there now. My car with the stiff mounts, frame mods & cams has a little race car feel to it. It also has the harmonics and shake too which I don't mind unless I have a important investor in there trying to make a cell call. | | | | | 08-29-2010, 11:16 PM | #595 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |
Installed factory keyless entry (swapped brain with one from ebay) tested both fob's I got. lubed the glove box door before reinstalling and made it quiet. Put in the new AC condenser, will try to get it charged next sunday.
