Bakersfield...

Now that's a town I'd not thought about much recently. I have a sister in Fresno and I used to live in Modesto...

Oh yes...great job on the mods... How do you like the sound of your new exhaust system? I'm considering the GHL's as my first big mod one of these days myself...

And...are your new rotors zinc coated? They look great.

Lived in Bakersfeild for 6 years, S/W part of town off White Lane. Still have a aunt and uncle who live in the N/E part of town up on the hill. Great town, Basque food very unique, only negative was the Tule fogs. What nasty stuff that is!

OK guys heres a picture of my Rotors and Wheels. Hope you like them. Give me your feed back ( Good or Bad). Thanks for the kind words. As for the GHL's they will rock your world running through Kook's 1 3/4 headers. Love those GHL's. Best on the market.

When your working on your hands and knees on concrete... that can be very tiring and painful. I single layer of carpet can feel like a matress compared to the contrete... plus it keeps the cold off you back.

Pick up some of the left overs at a carpet store to throw in the corner of your garage. Works great for brake job, low body cleaning, even makes a good catch for fluid leaks while working. Just throw it away when it's trashed. A 3x4 foot... small pieces like that, they may just give to you.




The wheels and calipers look great
