So any projects going on right now with anyone? I finaly got my C10 back from the shop swaped 6.0 LQ4 224/228 cam, Doug Thorley LS swap LT headers, dual magnaflow exhaust sounds good and dyno'd made 319RWHP and 417RWTQ through a TH400 with a horribly cheap loose 3000 stall lol. can't wait to take it to the track here soon and get some real numbers up. I went out to columbus, IN for an autox they had at a little airport and took the S10. Oh btw I traded my S10 ext cab for an S10 Xtreme regular cab. same 2.2L 5spd cept it has 3.73 rearend gears which is much better on the interstate. Had some shity old tires on it and did pretty well. Someone said they took some pics on a local forum, maybe they have some of me when they post them and I'll copy and paste them up here if so. The xtreme looks like shit but runs well.

I got the motor mounts out of the truck and apart, now to reinstall I need to drop the control arms, not happy about that! Car is just the car, sounds like I have a rocker loose, which doesn't seem possible. I should say probable, we all know nothing is impossible when it comes to these damn mechanical things haha. |

Yes, however its not for sale just yet. I plan on redoing the interior. just need some carpet and a couple of late model seats and 3pt belts and build a console and it will be ready to go. I'd like to convert it over to a 5lug setup with disc brakes and at the same time lower it more with 2" lowering spindles and then I already have 3" lowering blocks. for a total of 4/6 (2/3" already lowered from springs and shocks right now.) then tub out the rear for a pro-street look. but IDK if I want to spend that much on it yet. It would be badass though. |

My truck is finally up and running again. Trans #3. The only thing I have coming up is putting a c-notch the frame so I quit hitting the bump stops. That is getting pretty old! OH YEAH......my battery finally died yesterday! Red Top Optima 7 years old and was in two different vehicles. Ran strong up until all of these transmission changes. Sitting for a month at a time it would drop charge level and didn't want to take a charge anymore. RIP. New RedTop in its place!!

damn you wouldn't even go out there and crank it up every once in a while? when the z was down I'd atleast go out there once a week and let it get up to operating temp. Gota keep the juices flowing. but yea i guess with no trans or starter attached you couldn't exactly do that most of the time.

The S10 Xtreme is my daily. all 2.2L of fury. I'd like to get a clean 98+ S10 regular cab with the ZQ8 package same as Xtreme without the bodykit crap and swap in a V6 and 6spd from the 09+ camaro or CTS caddys. Then daily that with 300hp and 30mpg. |

Nope its gone! And turns out that its a current drain on my truck too. Jumpped in it two days later and it was dead. So now I will be chasing an electrical monster. ***I HATE ELECTRICAL ISSUES***. I have heard that the new optimas weren't as good as the original ones too. But keeping the old one won't solve my problem. It was time for a new one. And NO ONE has given me a good enough excuse on why the new ones are so bad. I have heard people say they are made in the same place that other batterys are made and thats why they are bad. Well thats not a good enough excuse for me. Manufactures have tolorences and specs that they have to comply with the original company. Just like a cake from publix is going to taste different than a cake from walmart......they all use flower and sugar the same way. |
