Thanks! I love them on my car, but I'm gonna swap them for a set of brushed 03/04 cobra wheels one day. I like the fact that you don't hardly ever see the GT4's though, I just can't afford the tires I want for 18in wheels.

Yes I thought about getting some 18's but I didn't want to pay the money for the tires ,and your car would look super sweet with some 03 cobra wheels

Thanks!

I got my over heating issue fixed today! The car was thinking it was over heating and shutting down but it never actually over heated. It had bad ect or etc? sensors. I also fixed my reverse issue. Ever since I got the car, every time I put the car in reverse it would pop out of gear. I thought it was the transmission, turns out theres a bolt at the shifter and whoever put the short throw in put it in too much so the shifter never went all the way in gear. So crazy how something that annoying (both the over heating and reverse), that I've dealt with for over a year, could be such simple, cheap fixes.

I also might have found a new engine for my car. I wont say anything else but if I get it, it'll have a lot more power than it has now. I'm also buying new exhaust if I get the engine. It's gonna be an awesome summer! haha

haha picture from under the car my group gets to work on for the rest of the semester, it's a '67 Chevelle.

GT500 while I was waiting for parts.

Not sure what this pictures have to do with my build thread other than I was killing time while fixing my car, but I wanted to share. lol plus my build thread is boring.

Thanks! It's nice to be different in a good, subtle way.

The Tangerine PITA is still doing what I thought was it thinking it was over heating and cutting off. Lots more work to do, can barely drive it now. I just want a new motor!!

I changed my fuel pump today and it made a hugeeee difference in my car! We took the old one out and someone had put it in wrong and the filter was sittin at the bottom of the gas tank. I also got my windows tinted the other day. I got 20% everywhere but the windshield. The guy did a great job, but there's a few things he has to fix. Mean while I had to ride in like 90 degree weather with the windows up and no a/c. Anyway, here's a photo of my car at school today after we did the fuel pump. BTW my photobucket is no longer public which is why my photos are broken links. Someone keeps going on there and blowing my photos up with ridiculously rude comments, hate from a complete stranger makes sense right?

Thanks!! I thought there was something wrong with the fuel when it kept dyin like it was running out of gas, my teacher told me the fuel pump had probably never been changed so it would be a good idea. Turned out it had and we done wrong so I'm really glad I spent the money and changed it. The car cranks so strong now! Before it was like putt putt putt putt crank, now it like cranks and demands respect. haha just kiddin but it's definitely a huge improvement! I'm glad things are finally starting to go right with my car for a change!!

haha two more pictures because I'm bored!

My car was DISGUSTING in those pictures! You can't really see just how gross it was though. I washed it two days ago but it rained and I live down a very long dirt road so my car stays dirty.

That indeed is a Geo Metro, I have no idea why it is there. The man who owns it is in my class, he brought it in dropped the gas tank and left. I have no idea whats up but that thing makes me laugh. My friend has one we used to drift on dirt roads, it was so much fun!

Haha nice . Are you a farm girl Liz ? Hope you say yes . Dirty or not I love the tangerine mustangs. I'd have sex with one in one whatever , it's all good

I am 100% farm girl, born and raised. We have fields and have had just about every farm animal known to man, and a couple that you don't normally see on a farm lol.

Fuckin rights love it. I love country girls. Being a city boy I've always had a thing for country girls because I love the out doors camping etc dirt biking. Farm girls are the best kind unless you mouth them off. Then you should prolly watch out
