I haven't done anything to the car in a while. I get married in May so naturally funds are going towards that. I need new tires BAD- waiting on tax return. And I have some small odds and ends I want to do- repair my seat, paint some suspension stuff and underneath.
I'm always down to cruise. I gave you my cell number, so just hit me up.

Finally.......some updates
I painted my TB and MAF ends. Cleaned them up real good, self etching primer, gloss black spray paint. I also painted all of the bolts since they beat looking.
I was talking to David at MightyMouse Solutions (http://mightym0use.wix.com/mm-solutions) one day and he convinced me to sell my Norris Motorsports catch can and then install one of his new "Black" Series Catch Cans. My Norris catch can sold in a day or two, so it was a done deal. I ordered the PCV can with the barbed fittings since I am running rubber hose. There are options for AN fittings as well. It came with good instructions on how to hook it up. I opted to keep the same line routing that I had before, and just had to run a longer hose since the fittings were in a different position.
I have the following connections to the engine:
-Passenger valve cover rear to can inlet
-Can outlet to side of LS6 intake
-TB to driver valve cover
I also opted for the 'LS head mount' he offers since I still have A/C, stock coolant overflow tank, and the battery in the stock location. There didn't seem to be a good place to mount the can with a basically stock engine setup. The can is of nice quality and David was very helpful through the process.
Anyways here are some pictures....
I also ordered a yard of perforated vinyl from YourAutoTrim in the Dune color. It's a close match, although not perfect. I plan to remove my driver seat bottom and sew in a replacement piece where the bottom ripped. At $15 + shipping, it will be a cheap/temp fix until I can afford to re-cover all of the seats in black leather.

How does the saying go......."out with the old, in with the new" ????
I went with Bridgestone RE760 Sport's- 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear. The rears are a little taller than the 295/35-18's I used to run, and I like the new look. Also, the 295's were a little too wide for the 9.5" wheel. Not terrible, but not ideal. The 275's fit much more flush/square to the wheel. The tires are asymmetrical and look awesome. I'll grab better shots this weekend with the car out of the garage. These will do for now.....
