Me and Ash will be on Horsepower TV in November when they air the Car Craft Engine Swap Challenge. It was a blast we had a good time and all thanks to LS1tech for the free tickets. We had 2 never used. We kept them as a momento

I like this pic too. I wasnt going to post it since it made me look like I was a 12yr old. I think its funny so I'll post it.
I got a lot more. These were just a few of my favorites.
Fastest pass I saw was a 7.91 made by wormboy (i believe). And hes a member on tech

Watching all the cars made me remember how fun it was to drive mine. Just a few more months and mine will be all the way together. I've been buying up parts about every 2 weeks. All I am waiting on now is a 370ci shortblock and it'll at least be able to go down the road again. All the parts are here to make it go again. I just dont wanna install the trans and stall only to pull it again in another month to install another motor in front of it. I really just assume wait. I've waited soooo long I figure a few more weeks wont hurt anything to get it rolling pretty hard before I put the rest of the goodies on I got for it

Glad you had fun. You're right. I love the BMW and Volvo engine swaps. I think all cars should have LSx engines in them. The Suzuki Samuri LSx made me happy. I bet that's a blast to drive.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any idea about a problem I'm having... A few weeks ago, I got a code for high voltage in the intake air tempature sensor. After searchign around and such, I decided the easiest thing to do is just have a dealership replace it. Had that done for $70 or so, and the SES came back on the next day. If the sensor has been replaced... What else could be wrong? I'm at a stump, and I can't get my car to function correctly if my life depended on it...
Still having issues with rear suspension clunks and creaks, and hood allignment too

I've got what would seem like a stupid question. Do our headlights make that scratching noise like the motor is going out or messed up when you turn them on or off???
I second that motion to doing all your own work.. Ever need help. PM me.

I ran out of day light I miss my tools and garage I broke the shock bolts loose with a 4way that's a new low LMAO! only have torq arm bolts, PHB and lca left. cleaned the sway bar,drive shaft,springs as i was taking them off. My rear drag wheels r 4sale! 15x9 6.5" backspacing. They were $400 new i would take $300obo in damn good shape and are goung to get a fresh polish b4 they go. im going to need a 15x10 5" back spacing with new rear end.
you do not have use spacer! You do not need new longer wheel studs and you do not have to grind anywhere close to what you would have to with welds and other wheels.
Pic just showing where to lightly grind
what mine looked like after

Wow, didn't expect anyone to respond so soon... lol went along and played a bit of the new Halo, if I saw this earlier I'd have swung by.
I would like to do all my own work, and I always attempt to... I have limited tools here in LA though, been buying little things here and there as I need them, but money is a constraint as of late, that and I'm an amateur learning little by little as I go along. Most things I've done to my car was done back in NY when I was on leave using tools at my parents house, with the help of more knowledgable friends. As for the sensor, couldn't find anyone that had it for sale other than a dealer, and from what I understand it required sodering and such, which I don't have the tools for.
And yes, I recognised your camaro when you drove by Hoban Hall. I work at 93rd/11th Intel in that little building accross the street from that parking lot.
Oh and no I hear no scratching or straining noise when popping the headlights. Just the usual clunk when they go down.

If yall ever need any help or tools, I'm usually available in the evenings. I know what it's like to move and leave **** behind, but luckily for me my tool chest rolls lol. I do miss my shop though. Wish it rolled too lol.
On the T/A headlights, it's prolly a bad gear. I've read on here that some guys take it off and flip it to use the side with the good teeth left on it or they are replacing them with some brass gears. They had an article in GMHTP about it and there is a thread on here somewhere.
Chris, nice pics! Would've liked to have went myself. Had initially planned on it, but then I found my own place and figured moving was more important at this point. Next year for sure.
Ren987 I know a few guys that are in the market for a car, I'll put the word out for ya.
If yall need some help or just wanna hang out this is my #318-550-8221.......Josh. I have unlimited texting if your not a talker.
