Well in a week I gotta go out of town to help someone drag back some LSX POS, the only stipulation I have to drive the embarrassment. Pimped out suede interior will probably make me sweat too.

^Oh you poor thing, if you pay me Ill relieve you of your burden!


After Twitchs nice detail and some soul searching, think Im gonna keep the goat. Shes stored away already and modding this winter will be addressing the suspension problems that plague these cars...

Anybody got any cool winter mod plans?

V6 4WIN

Nah it is a very nice car and hands down nicest interior I have ever had the pleasure of feeling up. That is the interior vettes should of had all the time, instead of the chevy cavalier interior and the S10 Radio.

New vettes are not moving off the lots and great deals are to be had. Really to be had for any left over 2011's.

Well, I got some more work done on the TA the past few days....
I finished up installing the Line Lock, Proportioning valve (for the rear Strange brakes), and I re-did the rear brake lines for the 4 channel ABS brake system. (My 9 inch had the lines fitted for a single brake line going to the back, bc my 98 Z had a 3 channel setup) & My TA has 2 Rear brake lines, with different size fittings, so I had to adapt them to fit with what I had.

**Heres some pictures...

And, The car is officially Swapped over to an Automatic now.
I kept the 6 speed console, B/c I like how it looks as opposed to the auto console. But by keeping that, it caused me to have to move the shifter all the way forward, to allow me to still manually pull it down into 1st gear and still reach park as well.
**Heres Some Pictures of that!

I also used the factory holes to mount the plate where the 6 speed shifter was. I just enlarged the holes a little and mounted it using bolts. I wanted to be able to make the car a 6 speed again in case I ever decided to do that in the future. So I did the comlete swap with that in mind. Everything will unbolt, and bolt the 6 speed stuff right back in. Even the master cylinder hole in the firewall, for the 6 speed is covered with a plate and I used the pre-existing factory bolt holes to secure it... using push pins.

And to prevent water from coming in, I used a tube of RTV to seal the floor around the shifter. The underneath of the car is getting undercoated this winter, so that'll all be hidden soon.

Can't wait til Spring!!!

well, i can add a ******* starter to this list now. why the **** couldn't this piece of **** not start on a weekend. has to be a monday morning. so i push it out of the garage attempting to roll start it in the rain (lol ya) so upon dumping the clutch the tires just lock up and slide in my driveway.

****. so i wonder what woke my neighbors up. me slamming the door 3 times, the yelling, or kicking the back bumper - cause damn that was loud. this was at 3:30 am, btw haha.

wow! Sorry to hear brotha! Damn cars.

jrob, Sounds good!

babbage, Me Either.

Indy Jax, thats funny! Footprint FTW.
I want a hammer gas pedal, That way I can literally put the hammer down!
But I guess I could do a chevy Bit(h too, That way I can say I made the Bit(h go down!

Stealth, Thanks man... I decided to keep her and just finish her.
I'd lose too much anyways by selling her.
So I got some things in the works, and by spring I should have most of it ordered or going on the car. It'll be done by summer for sure tho.
