Talking

last week end i was rolling down i75 in the flint area and i was think as i was boosting past ppl that my exhaust sounds louder than normal. as soon as i got home i could see that the can was kinda cockeyed. Took a peek under and the only it was attached to was the handers it had rusted and broke free from the 3" piping... so time for new exhaust and i will be going back to duals!!!

Grand blanc here. White 90 GTU needs a paint job, but otherwise very clean.

There is a '79 first gen (pretty picked over) and a '88 second gen GXL (I think GXL) (no trans but pretty complete, bad paint, engine turns over by hand with wooshes, rear seats, 5 bolt) at the LKQ just South of Grand Rapids, MI. I was down there today. Just a heads up to the MI guys.

Registration for these events can be found at www.myautoevents.com

Also, our local club will have lots of information: http://furrin.org/

You can also watch the sticky thread at the top of this section for details.

If you haven't tried this before, you're in for a treat. Hecubus84 is also in Flint, and usually comes over for these events (although I haven't seen him yet this year)...
