I like that dual exhaust. Looks good. What's you wife think of the 17" wheels? My wife hated it when I had the Volans on the white car. That's why I have the 15" wheels on it now. I still think the Titans belong on the T5R though.

The wife has only driven it once so far so she is still mixed. I told her to give it a week then if she does not like them I will put the old ones back on.

I wish I could get my luck at Craigslist too. My friend just got a bad deal from there & that scenario makes me to have some hesitations to get some new rims there.

Well, what you have to do is ask a million qestions and ask for a million pictures to see if there are any inconsistancies in what they are trying to sell you... If they are trying to scam you, you will pick up on it. Also pay with paypal as I do. If you get jipped, then make sure your paypal is attached to a credit card and not your checking account. So if something happens, then you can arbitrate it and will be covered by paypal... I have bought a ton of stuff. Some local and some across the US and only one guy tried to scam me and paypal coverd it.

Looks good. Did you do the door handles too? That was probably the hardest part for me, but they needed it pretty bad.

Yes I did and they weren't that bad. I took your Idea off your pics. and taped off everything and so I taped off the door handles so I wouldn't get dye on the paint behind them. Thanks!

Today I replaced my original headlights with ones from an '05. I was caught off guard by the newer wiring harness and other nuances. But they are on, and they work great.

yesterday, got mad. tech u know about this already, volvomotorsports.com sent me the wrong upper torque mount. and guess what? they aren't answering the phone or e-mails when i call and i want a refund. this is not good. i'm just glad it was only 26 bucks. i don't think i'll be using that site again.

thankfully the right one will be here (from ipd) by saturday.

today, since i can't drive my car, i'm gonna wax her up with zymol

Today, I changed the oil in my V70 500 miles after repairing the vent system and adding Seafoam to the oil and gas. I used a trusted Baldwin filter and plan on changing it every 5000 miles or less and using the Seafoam treatments to reduce carbon buildup.

And for the Geo Metro, I got my economy (XFi) reground camshaft, 10 degree advanced timing gear, stainless steel exhaust valves, and hardened head bolts from 3Tech Performance all ready to be dropped in. This will increase my fuel mileage and power.....
