i forgot to post up that i put in my airbag delete tray about a week ago. thanks again opi, and as soon as i get my fuel injector cover studs from racer that will go on as well. did i mention that i found a tranny shield that i bougth a long time ago for sasha and never installed? i put that in as well. and i painted my stock muffler black today.

im still fighting a power steering demon. the pulley on the tensioner squeals like a banshee, andy tips on repairing that? or do i need to just replace it?

changed the brake pads yesterday, there was a set of brand new pads in the trunk of the parts car, woot woot. and painted the brake calipers black, cuz the chipped red exposing blue and raw metal was annoying.

Are you sure one wasn't inside the other? Was the box open for a while? Are you using a coupler as a necklace/choker, or possibly to stretch your ear open?

haha yeah, i had to wait til i had the funds to get the filter for it, thought the one that was on the car would fit, but didnt realize the iceman had such a large inlet on it.

got "new" wheels. ok, they aren't new. hell, they aren't even new to me. these are the original SRT wheels that i had on this car back in the day, the ex and i are on good terms now, and worked out a swap for the wheels, while im not a big fan of SRT wheels, i was planning on using the tires for a set of Enkeis i have, but after taking a closer look, i think the tires are too narrow. oh well, i can rock these for a while. they REALLY need a repaint, they are badly beat up, so after i get moved into the new house, they will get the necesarry TLC. also, this pic shows my new front clip, 04 front with mopar lip, i have the complete kit, should be going on soon.
