Default Summer Abandonned Factory fun

Took these the other day at an undisclosed abandoned Waste management facility.

Not all of those tire marks are mine. Some were there before i got there but i was nice to test out the 4.27 welded rear. That odd noise is still there, Im starting to think it might be bearings still not w whine or grinding though, i put 1.5 bottles of valvoline synthetic gear oil 75w-90 in the thing so it should be just over the standard operating amount of fluid.

Oh well worst case is it is the bearing and it take the carrier out and put them in my other pumpkin.

I'm currently waiting to hear some info on how manual w58 swap goes in a 97+ machine in a state that does smog and such. NYS and the whole CEL BS. Next purchase for me is going to be daizen sways i think.

Looks nice! But IMO, raising it a bit would do MUCH more than a sway bar would at that hight. (if you're going purely for grip that is, which you're most likely not ) Still a good looking car though!

The daizen sway are actually going to load the suspension enough to raise the car a bit. Least thats what has always happened on previous cars I owned that i did big sways on.

Also i want the sways to reduce some body roll a bit more and allow me to increase grip up front and maybe decrease it a touch in the rear

I am definitely leaving the big violent running tribe sticker and the High road stickers

Ugh. Purple + stickers = girls car. All you need is a Girlie Girl racing or "I'm a quick chick" sticker and the look is complete. What great potential wasted.
