managed to avoid almost all rush hour traffic.

Got home and got the drivers side bucket seat picked up, but DAMN does it need a bath..

Also got a line one HELL of a deal for a rear end. Just gotta get him to pull it and hand it over.

Watched a video earlier of my S-10 launching and managed to snag the attached picture of just what this thing is doing to these slicks on launch. And they were at 12 PSI...

Managed to also not get ANYTHING done to the truck due to the on and off rain storms over the weekend.

If/when I get in this weekend, I have a few things to look at doing.

Change serpentine belt.
Change needle and seats to the .130's
also change them to the nylon washers.
Look at getting the regular float level plugs installed.
try to stop the secondary whistling.
see about removing the power steering pump.
install temp gauge upper hose splice and add ground wire.
add a port for the steam port tube to ^^.
pick up the 8.8 3.73 rear end and driveshaft.

sell current laptop
buy new laptop

Try not to have a stroke.

So far, the deal is still on for this little rig to take flight under a new owner.

If not, I have several things that will take place with it by the end of the racing season, as you can tell by the list above.

She is gone folks. The little blue demon spawn of an s10 is now long gone to a new owner. So far plans are for them to change is the cam to a larger one, get an 8.8 under it with 4.10 gears, and maybe change the converter to one that is tighter so when running nitrous thru it it wont blow thru the converter.

Why are you bumping up the thread if you don't even have the truck anymore?

Because I was trying to chase it down on my cell phone to link it on facebook for a guy doing a similar project, so I thought.

Come to find out his is an 02, so most of the info in mine wont do him a lot of good.

And on top of that, I was going to send him the link to the build page so he could read it, the guy who bought mine, so he can see exactly what all has been done in case he had any questions or wonders in his head.
