Default Agh, so many little things...

Man, this whole car scene can be frustrating...First off, I get the springs put on, but notice my brake pads are dangerously low, so I blow about 175 bucks on the new pads/rotors/etc. Well, I was supposed to buy the back two deep dish wheels and tires for the car like 2 weeks ago...now I have to buy a new clutch. LOL, shambles, I promise Ill order some bullitts from you soon. Anyone else having the nagging problems lately. It doesnt end, I swear. Oh well, I can now do a brake job in my sleep...not to mention the fact that I have to pull the brakes apart again to put the rotors on because they were on back order all last week, and werent here today like I had hoped when we fixed my no stopping brake problem. A little tip for those that use the autozone pfc pads, make sure you notice that the pads are not all the same, that way, you dont replace the pads and wonder why your car wont stop like it did with worn out pads...Yall have a good night. Thanks for listen to me moan and complain.

Tell me about it. I had my gears done and my pads were almost gone. I now need front and rear brakes. Im going to just upgrade fronts to cobra and buy some brake pads and get my rotors resurfaced in the rear. I also need new tie-rods because of my lowering job. But id like to get tierods and balljoints at the same time so I dont need 2 alignments.

Three words...

Exhaust Header Studs.

Did my exhaust and one of them snapped, so now I have an exhaust leak and my car has an idle problem. Go me.
