I know they're easy. I just hate working on the car, cause she beats the death out of it. The car is only 3 years old, only has 35K miles, and is now on it's 3rd set of brakes (OEM, then I did 'em last summer, and again this summer). She is on the throttle until the last possible second, and then slams on the brakes, so they get killed.

Â*Not to mention the $ saved in installing these parts I have gathered an arsenal of tools...everything from my mig welder & air compressor with everything from a blow gun to a paint gun to my wrenches, drills, hammers, pulley pullers & so on and so forth...bottom line is your have to figure out what you want...because if you think your gonna have someone make you a fast car you need to make more hourly then your giving them...or you can make $10/hr & do the work yourself & have a car thats just as fast. Â*If you can do both the more power to ya.

Bills air compressor rules... but how do you put air in the kiddie pool with it? :lol:
