Default Hmm what should I do while my lisence is suspended.

Well for a reckless driving charge I got owned with a 1 month suspension so...while my LT1 is off the road I was wondering what is something easy to medium difficulty mods I could/should do.

I was thinking of LT's and y pipe install - the cats +o2 sims (for now), 160 thermo, e fan switch setup, 1le elbow install, maybe new plugs and wires if I feel like doing a job that should take 10 minutes instead in 4 hours.

Anyone suggest anything else that I could see a good to semi good gain for not alot of money?

haha i got suspended for 90 days for a speeding ticket so i decided since my formula was bought as a project then I may as well start on it so i tore it down completely for a complete rebuild.

"86+" in a 45 (speedo clock)

was at night 2 in the morning, passed a car in a passing zone on about a mile stretch of flat straight road (cop was behind me, didnt know it at the time cuz of darkness) came up on me after I was over a hill and already had my brakes on getting rdy to turn in less the .1 tenth of a mile and he rode right on my *** (without his lights on so I thought it was someone wanting to race) but he put on his lights so i was fucked cuz he was close enough for long enough to get my plate.

that sucks. i was on vacation in ocean city maryland for a huge car cruise and show. it rained 3 1/2 inches the second day i was there. i had to go the auto parts store for some tranny fluid and had really bald tires on the rear. i ended up getting lost on a back street and finally found my way to the main strip. i had to make a right hand turn and when i did i felt the rear of the car starting to hop and it kicked the *** end sideways. i had the traction control on and everything, which it did kick the pedal back out at me and straightened itself back out. i look in my rear view and there were the lights lol i pull over and to make this already long story shorter the ******* cop gave me a 575 dollar wreckless driving fine, for something i didnt mean to do.

now for a mod to do, get a flip lic. plate like on the transporter

Thats funny, I get pulled over every time I go down there. No joke. I almost got a wreckless driving ticket last week too. Cop ended up letting me go after scaring the hell out of me for 20 minutes. Next time I'm toast though.

i wish i could get a warning. lol! everytime i got pulled over ive gotten a ticket. when i first got my lic. i was being stupid and did donuts in my third gen. and ive gotten a speeding ticket in the lt-1 car for trying to get to school on time. they are the only two i will admit to doing wrong. the ocean city ticket was just plain retarded and couldnt be avoided. i hate ocean city cops lol i wanted to go again this year, but i def. wasnt going to drive.
