You know, in case people missed it in the random thread, there it is after all these years, a painted car. :ha

In other vehicle news, the Silverado is getting the G80 optioned locker for the rear axle on Monday. Yeah it was great getting here to PA and then getting stuck in my Dad's driveway in a whopping 1" of snow. :ha Also the locker came with some 3.73s, so a small upgrade over the 3.42s.

Nah, the Z28 is stored indoors at the moment. It will not come out until April/May..... One of the reasons I bought a beater. :ahh

I should do the opposite and go unhook the battery and leave it on a tender, if I remember reading correctly, it is actually bad to start up a car for only a few minutes and then shut it down.... not sure on that one though, just think I've heard that more than once before. :ha

I just remember when mine was crappy down i'd let it run up to temp (10 mins+) every week or so to keep everything in working order.

Most of the wear on your motor occurs before the motor warms up to operating temp. Cold starts for no reason wears it out faster.

It's official, the truck is on my shit list. So I snagged that factory locker differential and 3.73 gears last week for $150. $118 for a installation kit and 2 quarts of fluid. So the shop calls today to let me know the one axle is actually pitted where the bearing goes and some other stuff..... Yeah installation has now become $780+tax!

Looks like it would have been cheaper after all to just get a complete axle from the scrap yard at $600, did not see this coming. Really sucks, I already miss my FL mechanic friend.

phuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk


the mazda is about to be on my shit list as well... for 2 days in a row it has decided it really likes 3rd gear.... and gets stuck, and then i have to carefully limp it home.

then it cools off, and its fine, then you drive it some...... after a while.... 3rd gear.

fluid is good, smells good, nice color.... WTF

The circus with the truck continues!!! They ordered the wrong axle, so now the right one won't be in til Friday.

Only plus side is even though there is a difference in cost, the shop is sticking to the quoted price they gave me yesterday. Madness.

Edit: Topic now pinned!!! Also I didn't actually edit Cannon's first original post, that is just me being an idiot, thinking I went to edit there and pin topic, which did nothing. :lolb

That Aiwa deck originally came with the Z28 when I bought it, I slapped it in for now for the AUX port so I use the iPhone for tunes now that I go into work 4-5 days a week. Need something better than FM after all. :ha

So what is going on out there? Tires soon here for the Camaro!

I think Tommy could do a budget build, pick up a stock Cobra supercharger, everyone dumps them, they should be cheap? Put you in the 12s? Also a set of Bullitt wheels, I've seen some on a Crown Vic before, they look awesome! I think better than they look on a Mustang. :ha

New shoes!!!!!

My first pair of REAL tires, these things are amazing! You want wet traction? You got it! Slalom around a dead dear in the road at 70 mph? No problem, not one peep of screaming tire! Yes I had to swerve around a massive deer carcass.

I cannot even drive to these tires limits yet, there is so much grip I just haven't brought myself up to try yet. I need some more seat time, it is scary.
