hey if your replacing the **** into a socket, such as i'm guessing is similar to how my install was like.

first of all there will probably be enough grease in the hole/on the old rod to put on the new one

2. If you are putting something into a pivot socket, sometimes you need alot of force to get the rod in

Would you like me to bring my rubber mallet i NEEDED to get my SS in?
Pm me if you want to borrow it or wtever, i have 2.

That would be cool if you could bring one just in case we need it during the install tomorrow.

Well i just got done throwing the front bumper back on, took it off to remove the bumper support and washer bottle but i could get the washer bottle off and was scared of putting the bumper support back on later so i left them both...emptied the washer bottle though.

Time for bed, see you guys in the morning.

-1st: Starbucks on 75 & Campbell

If you have a snell-certified helmet and think you can break into 13s, bring it as you'll need one.
Also, be sure to wear long pants and shoes, as your lower body cannot be exposed.
And lose all extra weight on car, like subs, jacks, spare tire, etc.
To race, it'll cost $15. To spectate, it'll cost $10.

I don't know what the hell you just said, but they only take cash. It's only $15. You can find that somewhere or stop by the bank.

Great big shout out to everybody who made it today. It was fun as usual getting together. I hope everybody made it home okay. It took me forever to get back into Dallas due to some accident

Yea maybe once I'm more sure I won't screw up and get like a 15 I'll run.

And I take averything back about chris "thinking" he was the best shifter. He is since he kept running like 13.6-8 while others were running like 14.2-6

Atleast an S proved that you can beat a Z on the drag strip haha

Fun freezing time
