• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

My beater

Got it all buttoned up, just need to do the fuel filter and the ZZP Oil filter adapter kit tonight and she is done done done. I hope.

Gotcha, I came from the great Commi state so emissions here are a breeze, the only two things they care about are if it looks like a cat under there and are there any codes coming up, a tune on any Obd2 or later car can fix that and I use the fake catalytic converters. A few guys here just clamp on a catalytic converter cut in half and hollowed out to their existing pipes and pass.

Fair deal, I have played that game in Georgia for years. Just exploring options. :) Sick and tired of Floriduh.

Come to Michigan ;)

The state where you can drive your "Nice Cars" only 4 months out of the year, but gives zero fvcks about emissions.

As much as I'd love to drink beer with you guys on a regular basis, I'm going to have to hold out for something with a better climate. :)

Maury county is emissions free, there are a few counties around that are emissions free, but maury county is about 45 minutes South of Nashville, also Williamson county is kind of high priced for the area, it is really nice but you cannot posses fireworks in Brentwood or Franklin, if i would have known this I would have pushed to buy a house in another city within the county, but oh well.

All in all though Franklin/Brentwood are wonderful areas, some snoody people around since it is an area with a lot of money but whatever.


Also found another bad coil pack. That was pretty awesome, not.

Thanks for the info. I tend to migrate more toward East Tennessee, Kodak, Sevierville, PF, G'burg etc. I'll keep the options open regardless. :)
 
No worries man, I love it here, I know another ls1tech guy who lives in Chattanooga and he loves it there. I don't know if Lemons still posts up in racers lounge or not.

Yeah, he is just a couple years younger than me and man I wish I had done my car too, he was a bit disappointed when I did not ship the Camaro out here with me.
 
02 how old are you then? in your 40's?



Well to bring this back, I will get to do some painting, and some front main seal work soon. And I will be doing a write up with pictures of my brake upgrade using Rotorsonline.com slotted and cross drilled rotors and hawk hps pads, I swapped to the Imapala front caliper bracket and I am running fbody front rotors with GP calipers and pads for the gp.
 
Well I was at the pull a part and there was a white coupe that had the lower panel that I needed in perfect condition, so I picked it up for $17 as opposed to $100 for the same part from morad or other online parts places. Well today I got around to getting out the compressor and my sander. I hit it a few passes to knock off the clear coat and smooth out and rough spots. I then did several coats of primer today and lastly I need to wet sand the primer and pick up the paint, clear coat, and reducer, then paint this panel, sand down the other panel a little and respray it.

 


Got some wet sanding done Yesterday on both panels, this Friday I will be hitting up the single source paint supply store to get the paint, I will see about getting the clear and reducer there as well, or maybe at the auto parts store. I am looking to make it appear somewhat decent and not all old and faded. I will be glad to get the body panels on and have the car looking somewhat back to normal since she has been looking like a true beater.

Also I get to tackle the front main bearing too. I do not get why people reuse a tty crank bolt though, it's only $13 for a new one.
 
Because that bolt is a boss and never needs replaced.

Ha.

****, we even re-use the cam bolt.

It's just a 3800.

Yeah well I like to make stuff last, I know I could replace it cheap, I prefer to do things right the first time. One day there will be no more 3800's.. Hah who am I kidding they're everywhere keep on blowing em up! haha.
