So today I installed my Zspeed undertray and my new fender liners. It looks great and now I can finally drive my car again. Side note, the poly diff bushings are strong as F*$&, my car could barely get on the lift, so I jacked the whole thing up by the diff. There's no flex and the car didn't budge.

18x8+30 all 4
As I recall, the difference was the hole on the "front wheel" for the caliper bolt that nobody uses after they take off the wheels for the first time.

06 chevy Colorado, I bought it back in 2010 with 30k miles on it. My dad wanted a truck so it went to him about 4 years ago and I got the S10.

The Colorado now has 80k miles and has some issues with the engine, so I have the Colorado once again...

My dad took over our beloved element, and I'm once again the owner of this lovely piece of short bus engineering.

Everyone at Chevrolet deserves a punch in the face. I went through three of them before I fully realized that.

You have my sympathies.

Finally finished up the current version of my shift ****. Ended up taking another 50g out of the shifter, it was necessary to get that race spec.

Came out ok, I think, was a fun project.



Also took her to the track, but this was last weekend.

Ordered a new dash waterfall, from the center gauge cluster down to the shifter boot. Also ordered some new nuts for my rear suspension (I'm ditching the Moog products I purchased on my rear end upgrade for OEM parts.) Turns out the Moog products were more of a downgrade.

Jeez what that waterfall run you.

I've had my 07 one out and have been so lazy to finish wrapping it I've only done the cubby door. I want to just paint it or get a new one at this rate.

I'm going to send my old one out to get professionally carbon fiber wrapped and will probably just sell it. I want to keep the dash looking as stock as possible. It was getting scuffed up enough to bother me, so I figured, meh... might as well spend $400 at CZP for a new one. I needed to buy some castle nuts anyway.

Good God man, if you're going to go through the trouble of using kosher salt, at least use real butter! Make sure it's 5W-30 too!

I did not film it, but when I was getting all my stuff ready, I realized that I was actually out of legit butter.
