Installed a new turn signal switch so the brake lights work again. It was awesome to drive again!

Waved to another bird owner on the way to work and then began compiling the list of parts I will need to convert over to a T56.

While driving from NY to Miami, I saw this clone of my car. One year color, non-WS6 Trans Am coupe. But my mirrors are body color.

@nightwalker - you'll love the new shifter.

Walked by it again in the garage today. I'm hiding all my kids Christmas presents behind it on the far side of the garage, cause they never go over there.

This Christmas I gave myself a new LS7 clutch. New Tick adjustable Master C, with Tick speed bleeder,and new slave. All new belts, pulley's, and last night and today just finished installing new front cross,drilled rotors with pads, and new polished alum power steering pulley. Everything is finished and works great. Just got back breaking in the pads. It's time to put the girl away and just look at it for a few months.

continued to fight the issues, had a REAL bad misfire condition last week and replaced plugs and wires and it was still doing it, so I swapped out the coil pack for the cylinder throwing the code with one from the ICM that went to the original motor that was in my car and the code hasn't come back but I've still got a feeling like the misfire but to a lesser extent and what can best be described as hesitation so I bought a whole new set of coil packs and will try to find the time to do them tomorrow.

Also replaced the reverse lights as one was burned out so I swapped in a set of 4157's, in hope of getting some more light (and not wanting to have to wait on a package to ship this time of year to get something better), plus between, plugs, wires and coils, not to mention christmas and the tires I just did 2 weeks ago my fundage is to low to justify like LED's or something back there.

Daniel, we don't know what car you have. Year? Mods?

Good luck! The job market seems to be getting better slowly so hope everything works out for you.

got my Christmas present. now to start saving up for a complete rewire so I can actually hook this up and still have my sub amp hooked up.

gotta run a 1/0 from the battery back and get a distro block, not to mention a 4-channel rca cable and speaker wire to go from the amp to the doors and sails.
