Title: Finally, an easy weekend......
Post by: vinnietbird on July 25, 2015, 10:16:39 AM
Seems like for the last couple of years, I have spent time under the hood searching for an answer to a miss in the idle, or lack of power, or a smoking engine, or some other issue. I'm finally at a point I cna relax and do simple things like clean on the car, move a couple of wires, Just "want to do it" stuff, not "HAVE to do it". I will admit, after spending so long on the "Have to do it" stuff, I feel like it has become a habit, a regular task, and it is actually kind of hard to teach myself that I can relax for a while. I'm going to lift the front of the car today and install my chin spoiler, then watch TV the rest of the day. I need to do a few small things. I'm afraid if I quit cold turkey, I may have withdrawals. LOL. I am enjoying the car more than I have in a long time.

You'll always find something to fix/upgrade. We all do. It's part of the sickness.......

I did it last summer. A friend talked me into just drive it.  After swapping back to efi I cant wait to just drive the car.
Enjoy the day....

It won't be much of a drive, but i'll enjoy the 2.5 mile drive to work in the morning. Steering rack and tie rods go on this week when I get the time. It's been over 100 degrees this week, .....107 today, but, it has to get done.
