  1. Thanks guys! All I have done recently is maintanence stuff, like replacing the entire steering system, and I added an aluminum 3 core radiator and a plate/fin style 24,000 GVW tranny cooler. I have a nitrous system that will be here tomorrow.
  2. Hi guys, been awhile. Since last update, I have done a few things here and there. Main things being a 3 core aluminum rad and a 24000 gvw plate/fin tranny cooler. Hope all is well.
  3. Thanks Mark! Keep it going guys, I am still in this but 45 votes out of the race for first! please help!
  4. Thank you very much guys, just keep it coming!
  5. Thanks Young Gun! Just keep the LIKES & SHARES coming guys, I am getting way too far behind 1st and 2nd (both chevy's), and we all know a Pontiac should be in 1st!
  6. Thanks man! Make sure you guys share it too, because I'm falling way behind first place all the sudden. Make sure they know to click the photo, THEN click like. Liking your post about it doesn't count. Thanks again everyone!
  7. Thanks guys! Keep them coming, I'm back in first place now and need to hold it until the 18th.
  8. I am in a contest on FB to win a full fluid change from royal purple, and I need everyones help! Right now I am in first place, but only by 3 votes.

Also share it please, and make sure everyone understands to click the pic, then click like because liking your post about it does not count. Don't forget to like the host of the contest too, milestone paint & body.

  9. I've owned manuals, and had this discussion a MILLION times, on a million different forums. I simply do not care about manuals. Yes, I understand the attraction, but it's just not my thing. I am perfectly happy just cruising along in my auto, knowing I have the power to take alot of what is around me in my class. I don't need the gratification of a manual to feel like I'm doing something, because the gratification of having an awesome car that I made that way, is enough for me. The fact everywhere I go, I get questions and thumbs up and smiles, is all I need. I guess you could say I'm easy to please, because 1 squeeze of the gas pedal in my GTA is all it takes for a smile on me, I don't need to change gears myself for it.
  10. No amount of fun is worth an extra $1-2 thousand dollars and days of work, over a 5-8 hour long, and less than $800 4.44 auto swap. Plus, you still end up no faster as has been proven by me. The SVX has manual mode for the tranny, and if you learn how to use it, it is fun. I will take an auto any day.
  11. Lol wow, I just saw this and was like "wait, this is a Pontiac board" . Had me confused lol. Nice find, but about $900 more than I'd give. I'm not a fan of the manual swaps. Just way too much work and cost, for something no faster than a 4.44 auto with QC shift kit, which costs 1/2 as much time and money.
  12. Got a few last pics for the year, before I put it down to hibernate for a few months.
  13. They screwed me around for 5 hours after my first run, repeatedly telling me "oh after this, and oh after that", and then after they ran all the richboys finals they tell me "sorry, we're closing". So basically stole my 20 bucks, not to mention all the gas and hours of driving I did, and crap I went through just to go. It was thompson raceway park, and I'll never go back again. Plus, I never seen so many rusty junk "race cars" in all my life. Lots of them I was faster than!! That GXP was a joke, dude never ran better than a mid 15 and had no idea wha he was doing. He was more worried about lookin bling with his GF, then he was racing. If you pop on some headphones, you can hear it way better.
  14. Went to the strip, but only got 1 run in. Luckily, that one run was impressive. Got a [email protected] MPH. Stock cam and heads, full bolt on, street tires at wear bars. [media]http://youtu.be/FSyfmzth56E
  15. Thanks man! Yeah, it is most definitely a good time to cruise around in and I love taking it out as often as possible. Rarely anyone wants to run it, but I get alot of thumbs ups and people that walk up to tell me how much they like it, so it is an attention magnet too lol. I am heading to the dragstrip with some other F body 3rd gen guys on Friday, so I should have new video this weekend of what it can do.
  16. Well the 4th gen rear is in. I ended up getting a bad one, taking it back, and then finding a way better one on CL for $80 out of a 2000 Camaro SS. Here is an HD video with the new diff in.
  17. Probably in the future, but for now I have to do what money allows so I can get it back on the road quick.
  18. Haven't got that part in quite yet, it is sitting on the floor next to to car waiting for calipers and brackets and some new brake lines.
  19. UPDATE: Just added Spohn tubular control arms and panhard bar, and a 2001 Camaro rearend with 3.42 gears, zexel posi, and 12" disc brakes.
  20. Made a walk around video of the car with my new 1080P HD cam.
