going back to work tomorrow after a week off is not going to be fun. 8 more days of work for the rest of the year... this should be fun.

PSSSSST....Picked up a 2001 WS6 Drop top... Heh 6000$ with 78k on the ODO. Only issue is the paint(black but faded on the hood and trunk))

6 speed, with SLP Loudmouth II Exhaust (header back)<<dont know what headers though. OH It wouldn't fire up when i bought it, turned out to be loose wiring on the fuel pump.

I don't feel like making a thread for it, so im just gonna bring it out and let the haters hate.

[jpalamar]

That was a steal for that price.

Agreed.

Morning all.

So Friday.. not only did my neon throw a rod, but my roommate totalled his suby, and my other buddy got into an accident with a lady in an acura. Holy bad weekend for cars, batman.

Now Im gonna be parting a civic, a neon, and a suby. My house is gonna look so white trash.

You can hit low 12s cam only very easy. Great budget cluch is the GM LS7. It will bolt right up as long as you get an LS7 flywheel too. From GM Parts House its under $450. My buddy Antonio's C5Z is heads/cam/intake/exhaust on stock block and he is putting down about 500 to the wheels and is a low 10 sec car.

Good morning everyone.

had an awesome weekend, and have a 4 day work week this week.

[jpalamar]

I only gotta work 4 days too, but Friday is our work Christmas party so I'm stuck driving in anyway to spend time with people I don't care about.

[Big_Jim]

My christmas party was last weekend....... in cocoa beach fl....... and it was awesome.

[grimm]

4 day week here myself, with monday off on the other side of the weekend. My wife was much smarter than i and she only has a 2 day week. YAY for her.

[420sx]

I work all 5 days this week! Hooray for working in a 24/7/365 bakery!

[Meeshell]

Morning everybody!

my work doesn't have a Christmas party anymore... we need to prove to the government that we're a "low cost provider" since all of the mortgage companies started to go under.

being back at work today is wicked discouraging. found out about all the work drama that i missed out on and then looked at my email. 390 unread messages. awesome.

You can also find some used 243 heads(stock on LS6 and LS2) and direct bolt them in for a nice 25HP or so gain for under $500. Aftermarket or porting will def net you more but your paying a premium for a few extra HP. Based on your goals, I wouldn't spend the extra money.

need a winter DD.. The boss wont let me get another VW though lol

Hmmm. Sounds like a decent option, I REALLY only want a car that is gonna be a weekend racer. My boy D is gonna sell me his wheels and tires so i don't gotta worry about that he is picking up something new. My issue is the rear, im gonna find a strange 12 bolt as soon as i get the asset's

His car w/ wheels.



He is helping me a TON with this car already.

Like I said, an old 325. 170 HP, and they have a timing chain. Do a cooling system overhaul and it will last forever.

EDIT: Nm they're kind of expensive.

saw you at the mall Saturday while i was shopping with Big Jim. It was pretty packed though and I only realized it was you as we were already passed each other. Would've said hi otherwise!
