Re: Before and After
Here are some more pics. Bought the matts also. Now I gotta work on the engine. Anyone know someone in Houston that can clean up my 305 and make it run better? i drive it 65 miles a day but i want a little more power. It boggs down sometimes. Ive done a full tune up but still needs something.

Re: Before and After
Any ideas you guys can give me would really help. I got a low budget and these gas prices just made it lower. 60= miles a day is killing me!

Re: Before and After
Looks wayyyy better!! very clean!
BTW, what is gas prices down there in Houston? Hovering the $3.00-3.50 per gallon? if so... you GOT NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. Up in Canada we are currently paying $1.00-1.20 per litre.... which equates to $3.80-4.50 per US gallon. Diesel is the same price (which honestly makes no sence because it's cheaper to make). We're one of the worlds largest producers and exporters of energy... I have no idea why our prices are so darn high compared to US. So... SUCK UP THAT GAS WHILE PRICES ARE LOW!!!! lol (...isn't it sad when I wish I was only paying what you are?)

Re: Before and After
Kyle,
That sucks! I don't want to hear it. We are moving back to Alaska via the Al-Can.... Sucks now also that the CAD is stronger than the USD  Posted via Mobile Device

lol I didn't even consider the exchange rate!!! That means up in Canada we're paying $3.90-4.62 US$ per gallon!! (at todays rate of $1.03) OUCH! Anyway, enough about fuel prices, I'm going to still pay it to drive my truck! ....I'll just drive like a grandma. (It's not my fault my grandma drives fast...)

As far as the scooter... try driving through the snow and ice with that thing 4 months out of the year, then slush and mud for another 2 months out of the year! Up here you need 4X4's!!! They don't call Alberta the truck/hillbilly capital of Canada for nothing! lol ...commuting the 40+kms to work would suck on that thing too... but you would look SUPER cool! Man, I wish gas prices were the same here as in the US.
