Update

so i got my new cv driveshaft today and i opend it to look at it and it looks way too long. is the left front shaft longer then the right one? (dumb question)

also i dont care what you guys say i bought a muffler TIP today that is like 3" wide becuase my stock muffler is so gay. it makes the back of my car look really really good especially becuase i got the goo of from debadging. ill get some pictures up tomorrow. no sunlight and my garage is too small to get a pic of the back. yea its a small garage but only because of the 20 toolboxes and welder and a bunch of metal workin machines that is taking up alot of space.

Sorry for all of the miss spellings and no punctuation... kinda stoned
GOT PAID TODAY!!!

Going to get new tires in about 15 min, and allignment.

So here are pics of the back now that I got the goo off and the tip on.
The tip isn't completely on yet I just slid it on there to take a couple pictures. Ill put it on completely when I get home from getting tires.

My car is kinda dirty right now, but I don't have time to clean it.

Even if it does nothing, it makes the car look so much better

yes the driver side axle shaft is longer then the passenger. Unlike B series engines, the D series do not have an intermediate shaft. So the driver side axle goes from the hub all the way to the trans.

Thank you so much 315 Customs for answereing that question. I was so damn worried. Big weight lifted off my shoulders.

Yes I agree the tip makes it look WAY better. It isn't permenant, but for now it looks better. Also its too wide to clamp onto the stock pipe so ill have to figure something out. My dad is amazing with metal work so he could figure something out.

Grr my parents are takin forever to get ready to leave to get tires... PITA parents...

glad to see you back, as far as the interior id spray them black until you find stock ones. Its starting to look respectable I'm glad you took the goo off. You might think of taking the hubcaps off and riding steelies

Finally I got new tires, and it is so much better. The ride quality and everything is better. Im gonna wash it and take a bunch of pictures soon.

Kanarrjl I was thinking of painting my steelies gunmetal and gettin rid of the hubbies

Edit: It was $250 for 4 new tires by the way. Incase anyone was wondering.
