Good selection of wisdom Space.
It is the great debate. I understand both sides very well when I am working a lot.. without all the work, I am home and have all the time in the world to sit here since I have no money to spend. Yet while I am working a lot, I have money and not a lot of time to spend it(except for many bills) and its there when I have time to spend it.
Everyone gets tired of working all the time but without work we have too much time...

Someone might plagerize that for a school paper Space....

Afternoon all, just got done installing my down pipe ect, it is odd how queit the car is, unforuntly i forgot my phone so i don't have any in progress pics =(, but will have pics of the finished product,

I was kind of hopeing it would be a little louder but once the glass pack breaks in it should change the tone a bit!


Don't mind the craptacular welds... They don't leak so thats what counts!!!

LoL `Jerry, that's OK, I plagiarize many things from the `web & some/many of my posts are borrowed from other's on the web or from my grandfather/mentor's/teacher's/professor's that have taught & influenced me during my journey of `life.

I think we are all molded from everyone that's been in our life. Are we not really like those we prefer to share our life's with ?

Oh, did you check out that link I posted earlier on the Blog about Cocoa Beach ? It has some useful information... When I go to Cocoa Beach, I just go to the ocean or the surf shops, but don't go to other attractions or retail shops/restaurants, etc.

==================================================
The Bum's & I just finished watching the Red Bull Rampage & those guys are crazy good on their bike's...It was great to be with my friends & watch a TV program without falling asleep from work'in double night shift (LOL)...+ a bonus 2day..One of our senior friends has invited `us all to dinner... Another Home cooked meal & a SuperSuper cook also

Life is good & I'm happy & I hope that the reader of my words is Happy 2 `be 2
========================================
Hi `Justin, don't worry ~> it will get LOUDER

Hope/Wish everyone a fun/safe/happy eve ~> EnJoy

Peace/Out

An old school trick we use to do before we insathl a new glass pack etc...
We use to pour gasoline in them and light them on fire...

Then you dont have to wait til they break in!

Been working on my stepsons 94 LHS the last cpl of days....
Put a new fuel pump and fuel filter on it...EGR,Plugs, Wires, coil pack ...cause it has a a rough idle...needless to say none of this helped...

We fired it up after the final instahlation of the new fuel pump and ....the same problem....til we revd it up .....and wouldnt ya know it....
It snapped the timing belt....The 3.5 thats in it..is a dual cam 24 valve engine...So, I told him I can do lots of things...But Im not doing a timing belt on it...this LHS has a ton of crap you have to remove just to get to it...The gears and belts are huge on it....You basically have just about disassemble the whole front end....

So, the decision was made to let a shop do it...that way its repaired with a warranty....
