  1. Does the 96 imps speedo even go to 145??
  2. haha... I would've been looking for a cop to pull me over just so I could mess with him usings that "What do you mean I was going too slow officer? My speedo says I was only doing well over 120mph the entire time."
  3. It sounds like you finally see you made a mistake and took it like a man. Good job Now hopefully you learned your lesson and won't do it again.
  4. Damn I'm excited to get this thing on the track!! Woot woot!!
  5. Lets do that... meet up at Farmer Boys and then we can all line up as a group.
  6. I'm not thinking it could entirely take over the tire market b/c it doesn't look as if that design could effectively protect large rims or rims requireing a low profile tire... but cool thinking.
  7. I still use chamois... its my preferred meathod of drying. The problems many people run into with them is usually the result of either poor product or improper preperation. I use only 100% lambskin chamois... a lot of the cheap ones you'll find are not defined as the type of skin, or a synthetic. A good chamois will be oiled with 100% cod-liver (fish) oil. Prior to using any new chamois it should be soaked in hot water and cleaned out thouroughly using a mild soap and air dried. Dish soaps work well b/c they repel oils, ideally you want a very slight mixture of soap as to not over-clean it and leave the chamois without any oil in it. The manufactures over-do the oils and thats what causes the "residue" misterp was referring to. Most times I wash, rinse, and dry the chamois 2x before its used on my paint. You can usually see the water turn a yellowish orange as you clean it the first couple of times. Its also a good idea to chance chaomis frequently. They do loose their effectiveness and stiffen up over time. When they do this just toss them out b/c they'll do more damage than good in this state. Always be sure to rinse the chamois completely each time before using. Dirt and dust in the air and deposits from the previous use will stick. Make sure its completely saturated and rinsed before using it each time. Hope that helps.
  8. Looks good... kinda diggin those rims too.
  9. So is everyone rollin' in at 6am?? Hopefully Eric will be there with that helmet for me.. I'm hard headed, but I don't think they'll let me slide without some additional protection Only thing I have to worry about is the wife going into labor before saturday or the doctor scheduling a c-section before then. Moulding young minds?? You?? Thats scary
  10. Now c'mon... did anyone really believe that?? I tried to resist, but I finally gave in.
  11. The Kit: http://www.duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html How to video: http://www.duplicolor.com/training/caliper_training.html and my results using it: its a peice of cake to do, even if you've never done it before.
  12. emmissions is a concern (damn CA laws) so keep that in mind.
  13. I like them, but I think the GMC does look better than the chevy in stock trim... with some minor aftermarket work I think the chevy could look killer.
  14. Ok... so I find cams to be CONFUSING as hell and I know a good number fo you guys on here are pretty good at picking the right cam for the right application. Lets just say I was thinking of adding a cam to the TBSS... No plans for FI in the foreseeable future... Current mods are CAI, exhaust, and tune... Planning on adding headers... What would be a good cam for this application?? Would it be a good idea to get a blower cam now and run it until I decide to go that route?? Help a brotha out.
  15. Count me in.... that is if you can do one for the TBSS?
  16. Sweet... can't wait to see it run at the track
  17. Lets see some more pics of that rollpan/exhaust setup... thats a great idea... probably my favorite part of the entire truck.
  18. I believe ADM is in Vegas and I hear they do good work... as far as ventura... I can't think of anyone off hand.
  19. HAHA... BenKey's fish count is much like his post count... something we'll never beat unless he just quits.
  20. My wife always says I think I'm a God... now I have proof
  21. Not feelin the step bars, handles, or headlights... but still looks really good.
