Wow you're probaly the first person on LS1tech besides me and my buddy that know where Hermitage is haha.
Are you out there much? I don't think I have ever seen your TA. What color was the 2g? The only 2g that really rolls around hermitage is my friend Matt and it's red. Can't think of any other 2gs around. If it was red and auto it was him.
You got any plans to go to the LTx shootout? I'm trying to get a convoy from the East.

I did spray on POR20 once (the high heat stuff) on my headers and it was the opposite, it was extremely glossy when I sprayed it on. It looked glossier than fresh ceramic coating. It did flake off though since I couldn't get it on thin with the spray gun because you can't reduce it, and that stuff is real picky and needs 2 extremely thin coats on parts that see really high temps.
I'm 100% all POR. I love the stuff and I will use it every chance I get. My engine block is POR15, bottom of my car is POR15gray, 9 inch is por15, driveshaft is done in POR20, intake is POR engine enamel, brake calipers are POR engine enamel. Basically the only thing not POR is my heads and T56 which are sandblasted then cleared. If I could go back I would have bought some POR clear and did them. The rattle can clear blows. I cleaned my T56 off with gas when I took it out. Well I didn't finish all the way and I came back a few minutes later and the clear had gotten ate up then dried with the dirt stuck in it. That was fun getting clean.... Gas and other solvents won't touch POR.
Well enough of my longggg *** POR15 Promotion. haha

Broken parts wall o fame.
LOL
And sorry for no update yesterday, I left for summit at 1 pm and didn't get back till 10pm. Lets just say my friends transmission locked up in his mx6 on 80. Which unbeknown to me wasnt even registered in his name and was using the wrong plate. What a night, but I'm going to sleep I'll post that story later.. lol

Hey don't knock on that clutch! It still gripped damn hard and barely chattered even with no springs left in it and a broken hub. Only sign it was messed up was a noise it made sometime when you first started the car. I believe it was the springs getting shot to the outside of the clutch by centrifugal force haha.

Man Spec sucks. I fucked up a spec 3. It was sad considering when I did the car only made 286whp.
Jason at TDP laughed he said it was pretty bad.
But your right as shitty as it was, it only noticebaly slipped once and I could never get it to do it again.

Started on the torque arm tonight.
Need to cut some excess metal off, round some edges, little more welding, and wait for my polyurethane bushings to come.
Need to pick up some mandrel bends from summit.
This is what my manifolds look like !flanges and primaries. Still waiting for them to come.
I have my T4 flanges and head flanges on the way. Also have two 6 inch flex pipes on the way. I should be able to wrap up the hot parts shortly.
Friends paint is done. Starting on my body work shortly, and I finally picked a color. Think 09 camaro (transformers).
Pure Ls1tech lol
