ok time to do a lil boasting on my steal haha

so i just picked up my t5 =) its out of an 86 s10. i decoded it and it has the 3.78 first gear, and the .72 5th gear. 150 dollars i think i did pretty good. it also came with the shifter. so now i gotta have the input shaft trimmed down. get my clutch disk and pressure plate then put it in. buttt tthats gotta wait til like christmas break from school cause the driveshaft will have to get cut, cause i drive it to school everyday.

i can't wait to take it out on the highway for the first time. i'm gonna leave my 3.08s in it and see how it does =)

it's been one of them days. to start out with it's a monday and i have school. but on the way to school my brakes decided to come apart. not exactly sure whats wrong with them but i know drivin down the road they make t his really awesome sound... and at slow speeds they grab really hard then let go and makes a clunking noise. soo i have one more class then i get to take my brakes apart in the school parking lot...imma look so cool while all the rich kids drive by in their bmw's.

sooo turns out it wasn't my brakes it was my lug nuts...i took the center cap off and down comes all 5 of them. not totally sure how this happened but i got it fixed. i'm not sure how long i was driving without lugnuts haha. i'm glad i have rims with a center cap that covers the lugs.

and well now i can say i've drove my truck to wheels fell off...well as close as i wanna get haha

Today I got another steal on some parts for my truck. I traded my old rims and tires and 80 dollars for a full set of 17" torq thrusts with good tires. 255 60 17s

pretty happy, just put them on they fit and look great. and i don't think i could beat the price.

i'll post pics of them on the truck tmrw when it's day light.
