    I'd like to offer advice. Don't change out the rubber donut on the steering shaft to a solid disk. It'll drive like a go cart. That extra play in the rubber donut is so much nicer. More forgiving.

    Big 3 is on my list, just going with 1/0 probably.

    Also been sitting on energy suspension bushings for the front sway bar. Had it over a year and been lazy... clunk clunk clunk...

    Are you referring to del-sphere joint drama or is there some other drama I missed?.
    Yeah that and some delivery issues and such, nothing too major but people got pretty heated.

    That's LT1 stuff, they didn't use a rag joint in LS 4th Gens.

    Bought an Xterra a few months ago.

    I recently did the Lucas oil treatment. That was a good move. That 3.3 motor only holds 3.5 quarts of oil. The Lucas cut engine noise in half.

    I was shocked how quiet it got. Due to its capacity, I only put 1/2 quart of Lucas with the oil change.

    After running about three minutes, it just got quieter and quieter. And now there is no valve clatter on startup.

    I pushed the heated seat and heated steering wheel button on the Camaro. Okay, so they're pretty pointless in a sports car, but I chuckled all the way home with toasty warm hands and backside.

    GHG, here is a couple of pictures of the car you asked for. Sorry, they are crappy and it is dirty and it still has the stock wheels. I have new wheels/tires that I'm going to put on after I convert the brakes to C6 Z06 calipers/rotors.

    Well $hit. Woke the motorcycle up.... That fork seal I installed is leaking. I gotta pull the fork back off. Figure out what's going on with the seal. Maybe a spring ring on the seal lip came off. Maybe it's installed incorrectly. Maybe the fork oil is going between the steel ring on the seal and the seal seat. Maybe the fork tube is phucked up.

    It's not bad to change it. The dampening spring is tricky.

    I thought I bought two sets of seals. The other set I hung on the wall. They grew legs. I've even looked behind cabinets and the tool box. It's gOne and brand new. I'll order more. Once the new new ones show up. The last new one will probably fall from the roof.

    Also ordered o-rings for my truck's CPS to see if that fixes the infamous bellhousing drip.
    Also ordered a new EGT module and sender, mine had never worked well and is about 5% functional now. Bought it new 3 years agp. for $140, scored the replacement dorect from PLX for $45

    I'd sure enjoy a motorcycle jack. I didn't think the bike would have to be up in the air this much. I'm sure if somebody else owned the bike it'd be fine. Not around me. Things have to break down more often.

    I know I installed that fork seal right but because I have a tool box. It's gotta leak. I thought I was doing good. So why the bad karma?

    Guess I need a motorcycle jack...
