Great looking headers. I wouldn't flush the fluid at 159k. Asking for trouble. Possibly a filter change.

Yeah I hear ya on that one man. Mine was still good after 200k+ miles. It was still shifting smooth as silk and didn't have any issues when my sister traded it in. So hopefully yours will be the same way as mine was and you won't have any issues with it either.

Sure would be nice.
So a small set back on the car today, which i think i finally fixed today.
My TSW bronze wheels are no more.... Reason being they are a 114.3 bolt pattern (alero is 5x115) and BEFORE i bought these wheels i did hours of research. Ive come accross people who say a dead no dont do it, and others who have ran them fine for years with just hub rings.
So the past couple days ive been doing ebrake work (wasnt engaging) so i would have to remove the wheel, well in the process id have one lug nut freeze up, and result in my having to snap a lug stud, i snapped 3 in 2 days. Front never had issue... But the rears kept snapping. They were stock hubs in rear (215k miles on em) so they could have been weak. But even torqueing the wheels to 100 ft lbs, i would come accross lug nuts thay were super tight, and others that were pretty lose when removing the wheels. Which worried me.
So last night, i replaced both rear hub assemblies since they have never been done. And now im selling my TSW wheels because i personally think its a safety hazard, i dont care if someone else is running a 114.3 without issue (GA owners are running them fine apparently) but i will not run a 114.3 wheel on the car again. To much to worry about. So sadly they have to go. So anyone who has a 114.3 bolt pattern and wants some 18's i got a set... Lol
But i picked these up today to replace them, and they are 5x115. So my issues with lug stud snapping should be over with.

I think there was a guy on here named Chris that had those wheels and they look amazing when slammed. I think Randy had those too.

No one had these only other person who is running them is mfuller. Matt is running 17's though.
And anyone else probably had a similar style but doubt the same brand.

Thanks! Quick sudden change before the show....
Also had another issue today that i fixed. The bracket that holds my intermediate shaft to the block... The bolts backed out. And caused MASSIVE vibration at 80mph today. Funny cause i never touched those bolts since it was swapped. Needless to say the bolts were still there, very loosley, and i pulled the bolts put thread locker on em, and cranked em back down. Shouldnt be an issue anymore.
But just goes to show, this is why i want drive time as much as possible before the trip, i have to get all problems i may have sorted out before i drive 400+ miles...
