  1. ill swing by later today. i actually went to valaya racing in san jose. they mostly work on really really high end cars like twin turbo vipers...so that probably has something to do with it
  2. So i live in fremont, california and i need a good mechanic that knows pretty much everything about everything. I went to a performance shop in san jose and they were really nice and seemed really knowledgable...the thing is everytime i call to make an appt to do something....everyone is "at a doctors appt" or "getting a part". ive been waiting for quotes on some work and its been over a month. so basically im looking for an honest, reliable mechanic close to my house who knows what he is doing. any suggestions? i dont have work tomorrow so if i get a recommendation i can check the place out asap. THANKS!
  3. -its a daily driver but i also take it to the tracks every month. -i currently have headers, cat back exhaust, short ram intake, and chip. mostly simple stuff but im slowly trying to get it all done. -gear ratio is stock, ive got 22s now but going to 20" ss wheels -tc is stock, but upgrading soon -future plans include posi, new gears, upg trans/clutch/tc, heads, bore, stroke, rocker arm package, sc or turbo, pulleys and obviously cams! its eventually going to be show worthy AND track worthy.
  4. yep i have a black LEER 700 series tonneau. im looking to get rid of it so i need someone to buy it! i really dont want to ship this thing....i prefer local pickup. im in the San Francisco Bay Area of CA. price is $700 PM me ALSO! Im selling my 22" DAAT wheels wrapped in Falken ziex low pro tires. heres the craigslist link http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/298307595.html
  5. found it thanks! these should fit on my 4.8 right? the posting for 1200 i mean
  6. im probably going to get a goodmark, then have my mechanic MAKE a flipper hahaha
  7. do you have a link to the posting? or do you know his name? i just checked it out and then only one i saw was 500 + shipping for just the headers w/no cats
  8. so im looking to replace my edelbrock shortys with some dynatechs. anyone have it?!
  9. ive been looking for a while for some light weight wheels and im having quite a bit of trouble. im looking for either 18-19" and preferably 5 spoke. if you have some or know where to get some let me know! post pics/links
  10. did you use the kit at all? if so what kind of gains did you get
  11. Well, just like the title says....a set(4) of 22x9.5 DAAT d60 rims wrapped in Falken ziex s/tz-04's i love these wheels and so does everyone that looks at my truck. Im selling them because im starting my ss clone project. i originally got the package for 3300. im letting them go for about 1700. the price is negotiable. i am also willing to trade for a set of stock SS wheels and tires. and just so theres no surprise the passenger side wheels have some slight curb rash. i have SOME pics but not super super good ones. here you go! more pics on request
  12. what applications is this for? oh and polished or non-polished? i hope it doesnt say that in earlier posts haha thanks!
  13. i want this so bad. let me sell my other car first and ill get it! haha but seriously if its still available after i sell it ill let you know
  14. i was looking at some hoods and found one that i really like. its the keystone good hood "flipper cowl" i was going to get it but then i saw it was only for 99-02 models. is there a cheap and practical way to modify the hood to have it fit on my 05? or is it possible to modify a regular cowl hood to have the flip feature? heres a link to the hood http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/GoodH...truck-hood.html
  15. good one lafleur. "the way i see it when you have no goals...there no way you could ever be disappointed for not reaching. and i gotta tell you, it feels phenominal" i know its not a direct quote but you get what i mean....its genius
  16. when i was little i wanted to be either a cop or a firefighter...but since ive gotten like 5 speeding tickets and a couple other ones i decided cops are jerks...only the ones in my area tho. i live in the safest city in the US according to a recent survey, so the cops have nothing better to do. so thats why im on my 2nd year of fire school. i actually worked as a wildland firefighter last summer. it was tits
  17. yea to be honest i wasnt too keen on the license plate in the tailgate idea. and now that you mention rice i hate myself haha, ill check out stiff1's
  18. ok so ive been wanting to get a rollpan for some time now. what im looking to do is run the exhaust tips out of the middle of the rollpan, pretty much like on a vette. i WAS going to get an ss vent style rollpan but if i run the exhaust thru it, i dont know if it will look lame or not. i found a smooth rollpan for cheap that has no vents or license plate inset...would it look best with what im doing? i also want to relocate my license plate obviously. probably inset it into the tailgate and flip the handle to the inside. what do you guys think?
  19. are they still available?
  20. are they silver painted or chrome? im definitely interested...PM ME!!!
  21. originally i wanted to do a 6 speed manual conversion from my automatic. but that would cost waaaayyy too much...like 6 grand at the least. so i randomly thought of the b&m rocker shifters. i went to a performance shop not too far from my house and they said theyd look it up and see exactly what would have to be done and give me a quote. so my question is, have you heard of this being done before....if so how much would i expect to spend. and also, is it worth it? Thanks!
  22. i already did a search but didnt find the exact answer i was looking for. i have a 4.8 and im looking for the best cam setup. im looking to get noticable gains. and i guess its a 2 part question... -What is the best cams for my engine? and -What is the average cost on getting it done? and another one -Is there any other mods i should do with cams? since they have to open it up anyway THANKS!
  23. thanks everyone. i already read alot of good stuff in here and ive only been browsing for a day. everyone seems cool here so i might just have to keep coming back!
