Nate,

Good job on the times! Lets get something together in 2 weeks! I'll have my car back down here, and I'll be ready for it.

Sorry Cody, I don't have any help for you either...but I'll check the dealership to see if there is any junk around there while I'm home for fall break. I also saw your car parked out between Meridian and Dodge on Friday...looked nice as usual.

Thanks Ed, I had the car out all night tonight and it was loads of fun! I love when it gets really cool at night, the car runs like a bat out of hell and the tires have no traction. I am used to a little loss of traction as I initially hit 2nd and mostly through 1st, but tonight there was "NO" traction at all and its was all over the place until mid 3rd. It was soo fun, I was driving my *** off tyring to keep it going straight. I can't believe how much of a difference a little cold air makes.

ed, got the wires and plugs replaced...runs much better, but we discovered a clogged cat, rocker arm needs to be adjusted/lifter noise. the guy is a genius! he had a lot of cool cars and got a chance to really learn a lot from him. his ls1tech name is jarretthise, if you have any issues i would talk to him about it...he knows his ****. Anyways, we couldn't tackle to cat so i need to get it taken off by someone...but don't know where to go!

would anyone be able to take my cat off, and weld in needed pipe? Trying to sell this car and need it done soon.

I think that's what he is trying to do...

Eric, sounds good man. I'm glad you have that car going in the right direction! I tried calling you Sunday, but it went straight to voice mail...I'm guessing it was a late Saturday night. Regardless, I'm glad you learned a lot, people that are willing to do those things for others are invaluable to the hobby.

yea that is what im trying to do but i don't know where to get that pipe because i would need an adapter for it and i don't have any tools to take the cat off. I just need someone to do it.

not sure how the single cats work but just take a sawzall and chop it off and weld a pipe in place..once again ive never checked out a single cat exhaust system for the lt1 so idk if there is a special piece you need but i dont see the problem w/ just welding in a straight pipe

There is a car show at Hooters, I think on sat evening, if you guys want to cruise out to that and check out all the cars there. I don't know if it is just a cruise in or a judged show. Anyone? Im not 100% sure I will be able to go, but im throwing it out there for everyone else.

I am open to anything. I haven't driven my car in 2 weeks, so I'm a little bit anxious. I'd just about drive it anywhere except over a cliff, just to drive it.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I will probably at least stop by sometime during the night, but it will just be quick.

I'll be back in Elkhart, so I will not be able to go to Hooters on Saturday night. Should be a good show though, I have heard it advertised on the radio stations up here for the last few weeks as the "last car show of the summer." Hope its fun!

Fellas,
How'd the car show go? I was in Columbus at the OSU/Purdue game.
The car is still in the shop. We did look at it this week, and waiting on a new master cylinder. Also noticed the clutch line was sitting right on the header..... Nothing like boiling clutch fluid!!!!

Cody, I have nothing at our shop for you as far as spares. If Jarret has nothing for you, I don't think it'd be too expensive to get a few from a junk yard...
