  1. So I gave up my really cush well paying job working Haz-Mat and emergency response for the studios, to join the U.S. Coast Guard... I want to go out and see things ordinary civilian life does not make possible, and get out of socal for a while, I'm sick of the traffic smog, and most of the people... I just need a pretty drastic change in my life... Anyways I'm so stoked about it, it's a huge paycut but I guess you just gotta do what makes you happy some times. I leave for boot camp sept 8 so I want be on the froums for a while (not that I have been very active as of late anyways). I scored pretty high on the ASVAB so they are guaranteeing my first district, I chose district 1 which is maine through NY, that cold weather will be a change :uhoh: ... So my truck will probably come with after boot, unless i'm on a cutter, so I look forward to maybe meeting some of you east coast guys..

  2. I know this thread is useless without any pics...

     

    But I'm doing some work at paramount pictures and a happened across a car with a cover that looked a lot like a new camaro. So :devil: ... I pulled the cover off a bit and low and behold a silver new maro with SS badges on it... I will see if I can sneak a pic but its covered and studios can be sticklers when it comes to cameras and pictures... I'm stoked and it looks sick.. I want one

  3. The Tranny's in our trucks are the weakest links and when you start adding major power adders you will more then likely hurt them... Many have had good luck and lengevity out of their trannys with a few small mods, shift kit, servos, and a larger cooler, guess it just depends on how you drive and the way your truck feels but these are good mods even without a s/c: Me and some of the other SS guys just put a vortech on my truck a few weeks ago and I could see that if you've never done it before it could get pretty confusing, but I'm sure if you came out more this way out to socal you could find some guys to help you get it on... I would think your engine should be fine as long as you have a good tune and stay within a reasonable amount of boost... You'll also need a new fuel pump and bigger injectors...

  4. Yeah you guys like the rubber ducky huh??

     

    I have to get the truck on a dyno and nail down the tune a little more with the kr and get that code cleared up, and I'd liked to see what kind of numbers it will put up. Its a whole hell of a lot more fun to drive, and a lot easier to smoke the tires down the street. ( I'm going to need some new rubber alot quicker then i thought)

    Justin let me know the next time your in socal, and thanks for helping out reynaldo with the p0101.

     

    I'll try to get some videos up for ya guys soon here...

  5. Well finally got the blower on 2 weeks ago with a lot of help from Art, Chase, and Reynaldo... thanks for all the helps boys :cheers: But she's running strong and is a blast to drive... first night with it I played with a new gt500 :D His face was like WTF... how is this P/U truck keepin with me.. Anyways I'm getting 4-6 KR sometimes in boost and I still need to try cleaning my MAF due to p0101.. But I'm stoked, can't wait to race my buddy with his lightning... :devil:

  6. I literally got back from oahu early this morning... It was my second time and I've never been to cabo but hawaii rocks... Skydiving, hiking, swimming with sharks, beach, scuba, it was sick! I stayed with a friend who goes to college there so she a lot of the not so touristy places to eat and go! But it is definetly some money to do all that, but hawaii is sweet :thumbs:

  7. well... after talkin to some mutual friends I was about 99% sure that she did not have the same feelings as me which was no suprise to me. And so with that I decided that I really need to get over her and I figured the best way was to talk to her and put some space between us, I can't seem to get over her when she and I are so close... I talked to her and she said she already knew that I liked her and she understood that I needed some space, she was really cool about it i suppose. I'm semi bothered by the fact that she has known how much I like her and continued to act the same and semi lead me on, I think it's the whole " I don't like you, but I like you liking me"... So i know that by putting some distance and taking a step back will be good for me in the long run, but in the meantime i feel like crap and like a just lost my best friend. I know I've just got to stay strong though and keep some space for a while and give it to God. Thanks for all the help and support guys...

  8. If you guys liked it out here and want to come back there are lots of places around in San Pedro we could get together!! I have taken into consideration this being a Truck meeting that we all would like our trucks kepted within view....That being said here are some areas to think about.....

     

    Cabrillo Beach in has lot's of benches, BBQ pits, the aquarium, some tide pools and of course the beach!! We must get there early to save some benches!!

     

    Angel Gate Park is on Paseo Del Mar also and I believe some of you had a meet here a couple years ago. Parking is limited and there are benches but no grills I think. Also we must be there early and hope there is no other car show that day. I know some locals with there old car clubs sometimes meet there when the weather is nice!!

     

    Freindship Park

    Is another area often over looked by the locals here and is usually empty...This spot offers an awesome view of L.A and L.B...I think this might be worthy of our next meet!!! I go take some pics today and postem up! You guys trust me right??? LOL

  9. I really would like to attend of these :cheers: .. if not this one, definitely in the summer when i'm out of school... my lady and I can stay with one of her friends in Orange County... I'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully I can make it out that way... I'm down for whatever cuz i'm from up in the Bay Area and don't know that area too well... My truck isn't an SS, but you guys don't care about that do you???
