Funny how history repeats itself. We used to do the same thing until the cops got really tired of it. Mainly the ricers out there cuttin up ruining it for everyone. The cops eventually started just pulling everyone over and told us once upon a time that people would start going to jail. It slacked off for a while. I never went back cause I didn't live there anyways (at the time) and didn't want to drive all the way over just to have my night ruined. So now if I want to take the ol girl out I just drive around maybe go to some friends houses and go back home. I don't get messed with anymore now that I quit frequenting those spots. Bert Kouns is where I usuallly encounter some battles on my way home. My car is so damn squirrelly on the street anyways that I just cruise. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are useless on street tires or drag radials.

The stripes and Z28 are free handed and painted on. The salad shooters have to go. i have a set of 2001 v6 wire looking wheels that are about to go on for now. Do you remember the black 02 Z28 that showed up and parked accross from us at C/F? Im buying the 2 piece 5 star wheels form him and powder coating the centers black and leaving the lip polished.
I rember that one, i think. Good idea for the centers, any other way would be distracting.

There not perfect but i like them more than the stickers. I dont like the pin stripe that the kits have that outline the hockey stripes. Another reason is, on all of the kits that i found for our year car are UGLY!!! Then there is the fact that the kits stop at the bottom of the front bumper and dont flow under the car, MINE DO 
. There are a lot of reasons i did them myself and the main reason is that.... I DONE IT MYSELF.

I drove mine on the street for the first time in about two years yesterday to get it inspected. I forgot just how much I miss driving that thing. It is one rough riding, noisy SOB though. Man, with that locker, chassas mounted TA and those new LCA's, this thing rides like ****! Sure feels slow with all the stuff put back on it. I gotta get the speedo working now.
So, no one wants to be the official camera man this weekend?

Chris, can you make the speedo work on the original cluster with the th350 or will you have to swap back to the T56? I'm sure you could buy something that will adapt, but..............................you know you miss the 6 speed

Yea, you have to splice the speedo wire that plugs into the trans. into the front abs wire and then measure the rollout of the tire and then change the tire diameter in the tune. I can't put the 6 back in there until I wear out the new DR's
