Mine are not, those maybe the new XXR copy cat wheels now that I look at them. I think the bolt pattern is a universal, mine are not.

Hmm, I'd be down for both if I can get my car washed. On Saturday it's a 70% chance of rain. I was hoping to debute my new wheels but the fender roller is not here yet.

No, that was scary. I did swap my front tires to the rear so I should be a lot better off in the rain but I need the new tires on ASAP.

Anyone going to Wek Fest Sunday in Austin? I think I am gonna roll up with Claudia in the 3.

I'll be competing at wekfest, got a question about the filler neck, I'm guessing I have to pull the upper intake manifold to get to it? Or? I'm trying to do that now but there are some bolts right up against the firewall that are fighting me a bit. I've got a ton to do and it's stressing me a bit.

Yes you have to pull the whole manifold, they will both come out together and then you can separate them. The ones near the firewall just require some 1/4" extensions and ratchets to get them off. then you just have to get the two 10mm that hold the filler neck to the engine. You can get an assortment of 1/4" extensions from harbor Freight for like $6.00.

So far I have the the three on the passenger side loose, and some of the hoses disconnected, I can see the filler neck bolts so I'll try those next.

heh, mine has just been one of those things I've never had to mess with, I got it all put back together now complete with baller Sampco vacuum hoses, the nused part seems to be working fine as far as I can tell, car was idling nice, won't really know until Sunday I guess but other than it stinking a bit (hasn't been started in a while) it purred. I've got more work ahead of me tomorrow as I'll be swapping the intake, probably pulling the battery and some other pieces to clean around them while I have it all apart etc. I'm going pretty crazy cleanliness wise for this show but it needed to be done anyway so it's all good. I just wish they let us have electricity there, kinda' irritated with that but oh well, maybe having the only actual custom car (as opposed to an "import") will still blow some people's tiny minds I'll be parking with Sifu's club which should be pretty sweet as well.
