CONGRADULATIONS!

 

thx guys

I have a slight idea of what i'm getting into, but not knowing is part of the fun!! hehe

so I picked up my plugs tonights, got me some nice TR-55's... I've been using them for the past 4 years (2 plug changes) and they seem great! I'll be interseted in seeing how these plugs are doing actually, as I only changed them about a year and a half ago, perhaps only 15,000 kms... but I figure if i'm in there doin wires, whats 20 bucks for new plugs!

I got some brake fluid as well, as no doubt we'll loose some taking the lines off the old stuff

Payam, Meidy had the same thing happen, she ended up doing another sesmister as well, other wise she would of been done awhile ago, but it wasn't that bad... Just think of the great feeling once its all done and over with

Then join the rest of us in the real world, heheh
workin for the man... 9-5... bah!!

Craig, lookin forward to seeing you man, and checkin out the beast!! Eager to see how it runs!

How many guys does it take to change some plugs and brakes? Damn LT1 guys ....I'm just kidding...it's good to see support...

 

hehehe, its more for the beer I think

but yes, i'm quite pleased with people saying they'll come out and help!

I'll appoligize for how dirty my car is now however... Driving over rogers pass and such in april with lots of snow and road dirt everywhere makes underneath quite the mess

I'd like to get it up on some ramps eventually with some de-greaser and really give it a good going over!

I'll be leaving in 20 minutes for your place Shaun, but I don't think I'll make it for 10... perhaps 20 minutes late

but see you soon!

THanks,

jeff!!

 

Im not sure when Im gonna make it. This job I am doing has turned into a ****ing gong show. Wrong parts, missing parts etc.
Anyhow, hopefully Ill see you later.

And home again...

Thanks so much to both Shaun and Cory... Without who I'd never of been able to get this stuff done!! Thanks a million guys!!

The car has lost its low rpm stumble, but I never had nerve to check the upper miss but it does feel ALOT better below 2000 rpm when light on the throttle! Which is great!

The brakes seem great as well, there is no shimmy or shaking when i'm on the brakes with light pressure...

However, that bloody steering knuckle is bent Or it certinally seems it! The passenger front wheel's camber? is way off! With the top of the wheel angled out, and the bottom in... it looks like this: / heheh, not fun!!

Think of the way the steering wheel normally sits with the wheels straight, and for my car to go straight, the wheel is turned to the right about 20 degrees or so, doesn't feel the greatest driving from cloverdale to my house around canada way and boundry! But i made yet thankfully

And the tire actually looks no worse for the punishment it received... HOPEFULLY the alinment shop will be able to fix the issue, but we're thinking not

I'll get in touch with the dude that I bought them from, and let him know the situation, and I'll try to re-confirm that the car was NOT in an accident, but i'm sure I asked him that several times before I bought the stuff from him.

It might take me a week to get an alignment done however... perhaps next saturday, but thankfully I don't need my car in the mean time.

Again, thanks a ton Shaun and Cory!! You guys were great!

And then, it went something like, who opened the gates of hell and let that black devil with the chrome roll bar out?!?! heheh
We took Shauns car to mopac for the steel braided LS1 brake lines (that I need to return, as we didn't need them after all)... but my dear god...

All I could think of was when he got into it was, (I was trying to watch the FAST setup on the laptop and the road as we ATE it up) ok, this is 70 % tps, and now we're at 100%... like, SERIOUSLY planted in the seat... but then review the logs, and all i could do was shake my head and laugh... we never even got over 55 % tps What I thought was 70-100, was 30-50... hahah Its NUTS!!!!!!!

The blow off value sounds SOOO good, and that FAST setup is unbelievely awsome!! Real-time updated of the fuel grid is so amazing... EXTEMELY impressive... My poor tunercat seems so old and antiquated, hehe

But now to go clean up and check in with the dude I got the LS1 stuff from...

a for the most part pleased with the days work, but a little disapointed, jeff (all i have to do is think about the ride in the black beast and i smile, so its all good, heheh)

 

Well I felt for you when the wheel got bolted on.

Glad to leave you with at least a BIT of a unique experience. LOL
