They didn't have wesley's bleach, so got purple power instead. Then also got some shop towels and the turtle wax headlight restoration kit for the blaze's headlights. Looking forward to doing some of this tomorrow before class.
Check out the build thread man!

so yesterday was going to change the wiring for my 2000 mirrors on my 98 zr2. I also intended to do plugs wires cap rotor and check the vacuum lines. Ended up changing the lines and while i had the thing apart noticed nice puddles of antifreeze in the valley bw the intake and valve covers. Now the question is fix it or wait for it to blow and just throw a ls in it.

Thoughts?

had to get an alignment again!!!
it seems like my camber keeps slipping out of wack to the negative side.
dont know why...i dont beat on my ride.
i checked the torque after the shop did them....seemed fine.

now i am paranoid that its gonna ruin my tires before their time.

All you need is soap & water & a little elbow grease to get that blue crap off the raised white lettering or outlined white lettering - nothing more, nothing fancy. Works every time.

Bleach white is great for keeping them white though. Instantly washes off all the grime. Spray on, let set, go at it with a stiff bristle brush, and rinse. Used to use it on whitewalls. Gets stubborn stains out of your clothes too. Been using it for over 20 years.

As for what I got done to my '89 S10 Blazer - NOTHING! .. & that's a good thing. Since I ditched all the electronics & went with a carb & HEI ignition, it's become as reliable as a stone ax. Wife has put over 5,000 miles on it since the '00 engine swap without one single problem. The Jimmy got towed home 4 times in 5k miles for comparison ....
