Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

TLSheff - Silver Sled



Ya I am very fortunate for living in Oklahoma, we have no emissions testing, no front plates, we give no cares of this "O-Zone" thing lol.

I think every state around Oklahoma is anal about the cars, Oklahoma doesn't give a dam lol.

It's very nice, I'm really happy with how it came out, could have been much worse, but I took my time, prepped it really good and didn't rush. Plus that spray paint "Gun Handle" thing is AMAZING. I'm like a pro with that thing.

Anywho, now I just gotta figure out what to do next, and how much money I gotta scrounge together. It'll be so much fun with the GF graduates and actually bringing in money, I will be able to get more fun toys for the car.
 
:th_flamingdevil: Aaaaaand it begins...



gonna take a while...


But process is process.

Got the puller in the mail. Really good timing coming from New York to Oklahoma in 2 days. Love it. Gonna get to start playing with the charger now that I have a puller. Now I just gotta get a hub and smaller pulley and play with a tuner.

Know a local F-body guy with a tuner who said he would love to have a chance to play with my car. He's tuned several 3800s in the f-bodys and tons of LSx motors, but I would be the first with a boosted v6 for him to try, so it may be a little hit and miss but this summer will be fun.

BTW, ignore the diner plate in the box. Guy was throwing out spare 3.8 pulleys with each order, so I got one thrown in as a bonus.
 


Correct. Bought outright from Fremmy182. It's an older design but still fully functional and all hardware in the baggy.

Tonight I plan to attack my old motor like a spider monkey and test it out by ripping off the stock pulley on my old supercharger.
Needs a new snout seal so its gotta come off anyways. :th_sinister:
 
I'm an expensive date. Drink of choice.

But regardless I never turn down a free beer. :th_thumbsup-wink:
 


Sure thing. I don't plan to get rid of it anytime soon. I thought something broke when the pulley finally budged free the first time. Had to get out my big wrench and the breaker bar to bust her loose and the *ting* was the sound of something breaking. But everything is solid, it was just popping loose, just 14yrs stuck lol.

I got pics to upload tomorrow nothing special, just process shots when I wasn't grunting or swearing lol
 
So yea... because phones are a pain and mine was glitching with photobucket last night. I got off work and showed the GF my new toy, she was most excited :th_eyesrolling: lol. But I had to try it out. So I pulled the motor out from its little cubby in the corner, cleaned off some spider webbing, and realized how dirty it is.

All the parts were in there, more than I actually needed I think, spare bolts that I don't know where they COULD go, and tons of washers. Oh well, more is always better than less. So I got to playing, glad I wasn't making a video, I was no pro with this, tried wrenches, big ratchets, finally got my big wrench and a 3/4 breaker bar out. I thought I broke something.... but no she came off, just needed some convincing.

Convinced ^^^ Threw that hooker on the floor... not really, dropped it, was heavy lol

Ewwwww... that's just nasty, didn't clean up much better either.

I also got a syringe and a rubber hose so I can suck the fluid out of the supercharger, so I can take it apart and start my process of checking and cleaning and porting. Wait did you just, yes you read that right. Porting. Not doing anything else with it so why not, right? Gonna be getting fun soon. Love spare parts.
 
Silly GF decided that I don't spoil myself enough, I'm always buying things for her, and friends and don't really spend too much on myself unless it becomes a necessity and that doesn't count because its required at that point. So I said ok, I'll have an extra couple hundred out of this next check, I'll find something to spoil myself, got a couple parts for the car I wanted to buy.

But... I screwed up saying a couple hundred extra. :th_doh: So somebody used her wild women charm and trapped me into thinking part of my money could buy her a Fossil purse on sale. :th_shakinghead2: I'm so weak. But regardless still left myself with a little over a hundred to play with. So I narrowed down to a 3.4 pulley and hub... or new black/clear crystal headlights (mine are starting to haze over again and I don't want to wet sand them back to clear for a 3rd time). After much thought, and a talk with a friend, we agreed, seeing at night is slightly more important than speeding, so...
$T2eC16h,!zcE9s4g4wllBQOrJiGNW!~~60_3.JPG


Ordered.

With any luck they will arrive next week, and I'll break out the polish and clean the car up all sexy and take some nice shots.

Maybe for my birthday I'll get some money and buy some go fast parts. I really want the pulley drop, got everything prepped so I just need the extra $100 now.
 
I like getting some booty before bed... so no... I think she can keep the purse.

As the saying goes, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"... I like her to be happy.
 


LOL No, no Coach. I told her if she wants one of those she'll have to buy her own. My bestfriend's younger cousin bought his fiancee` a Fossil purse and the GF went crazy over how "pretty" it is and just had to have one, a different one so not to be a copy-cat, but still, and yea...

Headlights show to be tracking and should be here on Wednesday. Gettin all excited.
 
I gots me a big box in the mail from the Fedup Guy. Opened it... saw awesomeness.

Will post pictures later.

Mwuahahaha
