Wassup everyone, yeahyeah it been like a few months since ive checked on norcal...

but 3.5months and hinson just got me my sexy LSx mount kit

hoping to be swapping and running by mid january, Yay!

so whats new?

How much for the Z06 jake?

 

I'll post up some pics later this evening.

 

Asking 27500, 43k miles.

Good luck on the swap..... can't believe their turn around time on the subframe is 3.5 months that is ridiculous!

 

lol i hope the wait is time will pay off wen the car runs at least.

Goodluck on the sell,

 

Time for the obligatory bi-weekly "Has anyone seen Ben?" post.

 

I saw him. He looked like he was makin some good progress on your motor Dinnacoat. Had the motor torn apart n stuff. Not sure where he was like if he was assembling or what, but the parts looked clean so I guess hes getting ready to reassemble or something.

 

Alright guys I have an issue. Should I keep my A/C or not o.O
Also should I keep my power steering or not? Anyone want to let me drive their non power steering car =P The A/C is probably going to go seeing as I didn't even use it during the summer and I'd rather open a window.

 

Yeah if you don't use the AC may as well get rid of it.

For the PS though I dunno. I "think" my FB as manual steering and parking were lots were still kind of annoying even with how small/light that thing was.

 

Thats cool, just if he's inside of it though I was hoping he'd call so he could let me know what the issue turned out to be though he may still be determining that ...

 

The P/S I like so it might be a keeper the A/C is nice as well but... well you know I just like the windows down =P

 

I don't have p/s or a/c and am in Modesto. Honestly, it's not that bad as long as you have the tires aired up correctly, but i've been driving it that way for years so I bet i'm used to it by now. Anyways, hit me up if you want to see the difference.

p.s. If they work i'd keep them in unless you have some plans for the car. The p/s i can live without, but it'd be nice to have a/c in the summer.

 

I don't think I can do it, just something about the GXL that makes me want to keep it luxury sport. I think I am just going to fix the A/C (or recharge) and restore it. Then buy a junker 7 and strip it down and make it my project car. This ones just too nice to mess with you know.

 

I know exactly the feeling. Now don't ever question yourself again and make sure everything else works and stays working.

 

Hey you're coming up on its 1 year anniversary, should come up to Chico to celebrate and let me take her for a spin for good ole times sake xD

Maybe then I'll get off my *** and find you the hood latch lol.

How many miles have you put on it so far?

 

Sounds good to me. The a/c and p/s never worked in my car so during the motor swap I just left them out and have a very sparse engine bay now. I don't really miss having p/s, but a/c would be great for the summer.

 

Thought I'd say HI and hopefully someone around sac has a FD I could meet up with and get some tips to use for mine. Thanks

 

hope its not your only car, you should spend some time doing research

 

Lookie everyone

Sexy drive shaft

Still waiting for POS brian from HSC to send me my ****....he said it was done 2fridays ago and he sent it out and sent tracking and all...then his excuse this monday was, ooops they put the wrong shipping lable on the kit...WTF!

Hope you all are doin well!

 

I am up to about 12200 or so miles =P Still running strong as ever! Don't worry I got another hood latch. Though its from a JDM car I was able to use the spring from it so its all good! Maybe I'll come up there XD ya never know right lol.

 

So how is everyone loving the new NorCal weather?


Personally, it's refreshing.

 

I hate it.

 

You talking about the rain or the cold *** nights? I'm loving both, just not at the same time. My car screams when it's 30 degrees out ...but I still can't get this stupid turbo to hold 15+ psi to 7500rpms ;[

 

Rob I've still got that stock exhaust sitting here, YOU NEED IT. so come and get it. I'll make you a real good deal.

 

Lookin good Jackie, I'm Jealous. I'll be starting mine in like 5 years hahaha. Lookin for a house right now that way I have somewhere to put the damn car. lol

What'd the driveshaft set you back?
