pucking ball joints on the fiero arent bolted in, i'm going to have to drill out the brads or whatever they are. I don't want to set up the drill press in this heat...so it'll wait until the new ball joints come in.

my upper balls joints are riveted in as well :(

Holy crap who are the 16 idiots that bid on this?

is it me or the steering is kinda whimpy for such big tires ?

maybe i looked at too many drag link conversions for xj's :horse:

I'm sure it is undersized for the wheel/tire package. That's the thing about cars like that. Wheels that size add immense stress to all the steering and suspension components, and they never beef it up. There's a guy in the local Impala club with these huge, ugly 22s on his Imp, and he goes through suspension components like it's crack.

And of course... there are these guys with 9" stock used rotors & stock used pads behind these 22" wheels... morons. Everytime I see one of those, I sarcasticly tell them they have nice small brakes.

My favorite shots:

Those look like Kodas! LOL!

My favorite shots are of the wheels. Hello, I need brakes. You know you're going to have a problem when the hub on the wheel is larger than your rotor.

Hmm, go take the Chevelle out or go try my .17 at 100-200yards....

Damn.

I should have taken the Chevelle out, but instead I went out and punched some holes in paper with my .17HMR.

Does anyone know about the sound systems in an FJ?

A friend of mine has one and I know you could easily fit a 10 in that big ass door panel if there isn't one already there. and then some sound comes from the headliner????
