Oh yeah i do!

OK first off, some amusement. The local walmart seems to carry these all the time!LOL, front and rear bodykit is on but he/she is missing sideskirts!

Second, I got my catback in on Friday, havent had a chance to get er' installed though...

I like it.

And third, my left rear strut is blown! Time for springs and struts!

Ben: Yeah i thought so... Thats my parents' silver silverado behind it. My buddy is supposed to pay me ~$400, which i told him he could pay me on a weekly basis... Long story.... Anyways he hasn't payed me yet, I'm not too worried though cause he's good for it, but when he does I will have to grab those seatbelts

I can't wait to get the damn thing welded on though... I wanna hear it sooo bad.

How the hell does a 3" exhaust "directly" bolt up???

Besides... I am going from 2" to 2.5" cat to 3" catback.... I wanna go 2.5" to 2.5" to 3".... and eventually when turbo'd 3-3-3

OK, as stated, my left rear strut is blown... And the proof (BTW, pictures don't do justice)

Front right (Opposite blown strut) CHECK OUT THAT FENDER GAP!

Left Rear (Blown strut) Wow

And because i was tired of looking at a gloss black car with a primered pass. fender, I shot it with a couple of layers of clear gloss...

If you're buying timing chain parts I'll sell you my ka de timing chain. It had 75k miles on it before I tore the motor down to part it out.

I have quite a few other parts still here. Namely 2 dohc heads.

Good lookin build man. I have 2 things to say:1. Take the second timing chain guide off when you can, because it can cause that noise, and find the top half to the other guide because it could be floating around hitting the crank. So pop off the oil pan someday and look around.

2. KA's do not have 'lifters.' I noticed you said that a few posts back. Just clearing the air for you. They are cam on bucket design I'm sure you saw. Just springs, hats and cams, no lifters.

u should quit smoking. More money for the car? Sorry I shouldn't b telling u what to do I'm not ur mom .

Yeah, im trying to quit... Im slowly cutting back. Every day I smoke less and less!

Depending on the price, I'll take that timing chain and one of the KA heads off your hands .... after I grab Ben's seatbelts

Haha, the rocker rust is nothing compared to my frame rail rust!

Yeah, until I buy a new fender, the gloss over the primer will do fine for me... Im a lot happier with the way it looks now, although it still suckz teh big one!

your exhaust will bolt up. i dont understand why you think it wont. no welding needed, just get under the car, unbolt old exhaust, bolt new on... i have a stock KADE with stock exhaust manifold, a 3" test pipe, and a 3" catback. all bolts(ed) up fine.

git under yer car and bolt the bish up

I know you are NOT telling me HOW my car is setup.... When the person before me WELDED straight pipe all the way through and then you tell me that it "will bolt right up" damn peepz! I dont want to sound like a d!ck but damn man, I know what a welded exhaust looks like....

If you want I'll take pikshurz and post them for you!

NO mention of welded anything man. you asked how A (singular) 3" exhaust bolt up. i answered. oem downpipe is roughly 2", oem cat is roughly 2.5", so do you see in any way how your statement about exhaust could lead someone to think that you had an oem exhaust system... the rest of the car looks stock, figured the exhaust might be too.

OK, with the stimulus check, I just went ahead and took my cat and catback to a muffler shop and had them weld the damn thing on. Well, didn't manage to take any pictures, those will come tomorrow, but I did grab two videos before da sun went down... Enjoy... I know I did!

Yeah, not much of an "exhaust" huh? I should have taken a picture of the whole damn thing at the muffler shop just laying there in one piece... It was crap. Yeah. Im bought Ben's rear seatbelts so they are on their way and Im getting a Digital Speedo and Passenger fender here soon so that will be fun!

Yeah, I like it, especially at WOT. My auction had a $75 shipping charge (BOGUS!) and a $99 OBO bid. I submitted $70 and it took, so you might try $50???
