I'm saying you know the rules........ You don't trailer and **** breaks and you need a trailer. You DO trailer and nothing bad happens to the car. LOL

Soooo, soooo true lol... Hopefully the new clutch setup will be easier on driveline parts. Nice to know I have your spare trailer at my disposal though. Maybe I should get the Tahoe setup for the correct trailer lighting plug you have for that flatbed trailer?

It is just a standard flat 4. Where it has surge brakes, you won't need a brake controller.

But if you go to all the trouble to wire a connector in, I would suggest going with the big round 7 that is more standard now-a-days. I use an adaptor from the round 7 to flat 4 on our Tahoe and the truck.

BTW - How is the "new" old job?

Results from a few weekends ago. As I suspected, a nice hole. Should have it yarded out next weekend so I can get some new slugs for it.

Ordered a new cam as well to wake the car up a little. Going to really step things up on the fuel side as I think it was lacking a little to keep up.

The biggest thing will be a rock solid tune.

Yeah the horse trailer I tow all the time has a round style but I use a different rig.

Job is going really good. Getting some overtime and that is cool w me. Its nice getting to/from work in 15 minutes and not having to deal w Portland traffic.

Ouch. Sorry to see that. Any damage to the block/sleeves? I'm looking for an aluminum block to use with the Darton sleeves I have here taking up space.

It's a 2000 nassau blue FRC vette, a bunch of bolt on's, the Fikse's, in really nice shape for how old it is, and it's really well optioned for an FRC, HUD, digital climate controll, fog lamps, etc.

Oh and did I mention, it's NASSAU BLUE?!?!?! lol I'm really excited about the color. It's absolutely stunning in the sun!
