Took a drive to Elko Warrens house today to pick up his Famous Wheel Wells, dayum they so smooth as ****!! Big shot up to u 🙂 also picked up the steering gear box and all installed...

I did do a test drive, in my vid i mentioned i wasent but i couldnt help myself lol...

Note: it ran ok.. Im not use to this 200r4 and shift kit in it, im not sure what a shift kit is suppose to feel like :rofl: , 1st gear was fast and 2nd was ok and fast to with alittle tug... I did the adjustment and i think the shifts are to tight... Im not goin to risk it and just wait till monday morning and head out to the transmission shop and have them adjust the cable and bracket and have them test drive it before i do with the new adjustments..

Just alittle update, i still need to change my oil pan and a good oil change, hasent been changed since purchased...i will feel better knowing the pan,gasket,oil filter,oil etc has been change and fresh... Posi coming soon too... Untill all this is done then I will start driving more than offten:

CLEAN!!!!! The wells look right at home in there bruh! Those were a rush job, but def look killer. i left the stock windshield bottle mount holes cuz I was keeping that setup in my bu. I feel that a fresh bottle with some clean blue fluid makes the bay look all official. Good seeing you and I hope to see Tuck in traffic soon.. :mrgreen:

Thanks bro... U always got my back!! Much love 🙂
 
Shop!! Pshhhhhh why needs them!! What for??? I do it on my own!! :rofl: i moved the tv braket back, which i totally forgot to do when i did the adjustment, maybe thats why it was kinda wacked out! And wow what a difference, know its shifting what im use too, as far as the shift kit, know i can feel the shifts, nice smooth and accurate 🙂 had a good test drive on this superbowl sunday, nice and warm drive..

They are dave!! Went to hang out with my boys from high school to watch the super bowl and took the bu, they were like :shock: dayummmmmm this ride is clean especially those wells.. Lol thanks
 
So today was a good day...very sunny and malibu driving was awesome!! Sad enough to say but going to park her till i get these things done:
AGENDA 4 THE MONTH: all new items/parts:
1. Change oil pan
2. Change oil/filters/& gaskets.
3. Get a trans cooler and mount it.. Need to keep this 200r4 cool 🙂
4. Drain the power steering fluid and replace o rings..
5. Install new mini starter when i do the oil pan..
6. Call Ace Da Repp to install my posi unit with 3.08 gears and T/A Gridle cover.

Untill then shes not moving, all this should be done before i can really really start driving her daily.. Plus never had a oil change since i got the BU so alway to be safe then sorry..stay tuned
