I had a car once that had a shitty tank vent. When it got low it would suck the bottom of the tank up and raise the float on the sending unit giving an incorrectly high gauge reading.

So, I got about 38 mpg, but my gage is a bit wack. It has to be something with the altenator or how I wired it in. Its the only thing that changed.
Everything else is working good. But im going to swao the oil filter because it seeps alittle, theres a drop danglin from it every time I look, but I never see it on the ground.

There where 4 different greens listed for the 1200s!.
So today i was driving up the winchester grade. 7 miles of 7percent. And a deer jumped out infront of the dodge truck doing 75 4 car links infront of me. The truck never hit its breaks so for a second i thought "must have missed it" then it came rolling out from underneith the truck. The front suspention on my 1200 cleared what was left fairly well. Little bump. But the rear axle spread the carcuss out all over my lane.... it was pretty freakin gross.
Ive been thinking about getting a much lower geared rearend and lifting my sunny to a rally stance all day.

I like the angle of this. It looks like the camera is seeing the car look down the river. Teehee!

Had to rip may master and calipers out and rebuild them after work, brakes stuck hard on during a drive.
Spent four hours rebuilding them. Took one picture. Lol.

I've got a rear end here and not sure what it's for. Call me with a measurement and I'll check to see if it will work.

well I think me and my old buddy got things worked out! could have this on the asphalt again before too long! so excited.... trying to fight the urge to swap the struts and lower it, but that dear carcass I stratlold last year has me sketchin . also eagle adam found and sent me a stearing arm that I broke and couldn't find. I also got some more front end bits, but need a pitman arm bad, my current one is off of a 710, wich is different than the 1200 one, either I need the one with the stud, or the one with a hole... cant remember now that I'm not under it.
