    Big ticket items came in last week's mail. Hoping to put this stuff on tonight.

    I got the kyb police shocks and an addco rear stabilizer. I'm hoping to order the front this week. Depends on the budget.





    Has anybody used the walker exhaust before? Is clamping the mufflers to the h-pipe appropriate or is welding strongly recommended?

      I'm using the clamps. Just be forwarned that those Walker units don't hold up in the RustBelt too well.

        I'm fine with that. The wife doesn't want me running loud exhaust until the kids get a little older and I didn't feel like screwing around trying to find it in the junk yard. If I get 3-4 years I'll be happy.

          I got three years out of the first one.

          Things I just realized:
          If/when we have a meet, it will be epic.
          Reason?

          The Fist of Pain, Tank of Justice II, and the Battle Wagon will all be in the same place at the same time.

          Holy hell.

              Damn. That merc sure did take a beating!

              Do you still have the 88 vic or is that gone too? Any stories for the 88 vic or the 07 gm?

                  The 88 vic is gone. I bought it from a friend. Then sold it to another friend. Then the guy I bought it from bought it from the guy I sold it to. Then the head gasket went so he scrapped it. I've been managing to keep the 07 safe so far. My coworkers make fun of it because it doesn't fit in the parking spaces at work.

                    I used clamps on mine.

                    I'm in! Just took the Merc out today for the first time too.

                    I wish the Merc had a cool nickname.

                      We can work on that. Usually, we meet up at Quaker Steak N Lube on Transit. And when GabeGT is in town.
                      But I should probably wait until I'm actually in North America before planning a meet.

                      Rock.

                            The car is longer than the parking spaces. I'm a cop in the air force and if I park like that I'll probably get yelled at or maybe car will get keyed. Who knows. These people can be pricks.
