Changed the knock sensors today and cleaned up the engine bay a little bit. A sensor went at the 1/4 mile in the summer and engine light has been on since so i figured I'd just swap them both to be safe.

With winter tires they're beastly, as long as it stays below 6inches of powder

It's a base model, so it never came with them. I had wired in oem fogs, but ripped it all out when I went full silly goose mode. The intake sits right behind the drivers side opening, so that works out, and the passenger side housing hit my meth pump. They weren't hooked up anymore anyway, so I just pulled them.

Plus it makes it super easy to pull the bumper. I can pull the whole thing and put it back in about 30 seconds flat haha

I forgot how good the SS SC sounds with a ported manifold and stock exhaust otherwise. Had the windows down while driving through the mountains with no traffic earlier. Sounded sweet man.

that's not what the tint guy and the law say The shades and shadows people on Mesa refuse to do darker than 20% on the rear for that reason.
