To everyone who's been here for a while, finding the good fixes, workarounds, and resources. To joegr for responding to my little questions. To Alax and others who actually tool up and fabricate parts. The car is in the shop now - finally! - for a bunch of suspension work. Originally the...

Another question, something I just picked up on yesterday when I got the quote. Listed is "Tie Rod End, Rear, Outer, $155.99". Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know I don't have tie rod ends on the rear of the car. He calls them that for whatever reason. I'm guessing he...

Thanks, joegr. I called them and they said parts are out of stock but they get them 3-5 days after I place my order then about another 3-5 days to ship. Standard shipping is about $75 but that includes both uppers and both lowers. I can live with that -- my local quote for all 4 rear control...

Did this ever happen?

I bought these... I'll prep/paint them when I get time but they're so clean I had to grab them now

now see, this is the drawback with having a black car - you can't use black as an accent color.

I don't mind the purr and growl of my stock exhaust, but if I have to start replacing I think I'd go with magna w/ the x-pipe. I haven't heard all the examples available though...what Alax talked about sounds intriguing. The LS deserves some thought when deciding on exhaust note.

Nice, but with black paint I gotta stay with chrome.

Just passed 150,000 last month 02LSS

That gunk comes from the underground tanks at the gas station. It typically settles but gets stirred up when the tanker delivers a load - hard to avoid but I don't get gas if I see the tanker there.

Yeah. Just read the whole thread...made a lane change after just entering the highway and something gave way
