main relay was replaced last Wed so the week trial period has ended and I'm happy to report she hasn't given me any problems starting whatsoever. So i'm hoping that takes care of that.

Today I replaced the o2 sensor. took a few quick pics...



it looks a lot worse in person. the outside is supposed to be dark/burned I supposed but the inside looks plain out charcoaled. New o2 went in without a hitch but the weird hesistation I described is still there, although not as pronounced as before it seems. I hoping the ECU just needs a few days to tune it out and all will be good from there. We'll see.

in other news...I brought the car over to Trip's and we jacked it up and what used to be my front bumpstops pretty much disintegrated off the top of the shocks. not good. also we think the shocks might be possibly blown, we saw some gas residue on the very top near where the bumpstop used to exist. in addition to that, the rubber piece that goes on top of the spring perch is ripped to shreds.

lastly my brakes decided to make themselves known today by squealing like a raped mongoose. looks like its time for new shocks,brake pads, brake rotors, and stainless steel brake lines too bad i'm brokeasfuq

I'm driving the beast up to Alabama tommorw....please pray for me TR.
