You should start getting it ready now. THe late night shenanigan races are gonna be starting soon. What i would suggest, tackle something that is a big pain in the ***. Once finished, i bet your motivation will be back.

Well warm weather gave me some motivation. Got all the electronics figured out and got the starter all wired up. Turn the key and the motor turns over very nice/fast! Was hoping to get some oil up top but these ls motors don't work like that so I just poured oil all over and that's about it. Got some gauges to wire up, order harness and actually fire it up!

Well got it fired up! Took turbo off so i dont blow all the garbage through it. Tore it all back apart after it fired up to weld in o2 bungs in hotside and do a few more odds n ends then i can get some real idle time with it with the turbo on.

Awesome. It must feel good to have it up and running. What are you gonna tune it with? Are you going to get it to a dyno?

Yea I'm sure it doesn't help I'm in my insulated garage acting like a speaker box, lol. I'm sure it'll tone down a little being outside in the open. Plus on the other hand, I don't really give a ****, lol.

Cool man look forward to seeing it.

Just a little car show deal on I want to say Wednesday nights. Bunch of older restored cars and the other half is some faster street cars. It's in Schererville on rt 30.

I always swing by simon sez on fri or sat night. Usually saturday at about 8 or 9 until everyone leaves.
