Yep, us GTO guys get together whenever somebody gets something new to install… We did a headers/cam build, pulled stock motor/installed a 416ci stroker, did a wilwood big brake kit and did my heads/cam build this year so far… been a slow year.

Having a town & county in my driveway, I’m as cool as it gets

Just wasn’t sure which group it put me into “into the scene” or “shitbag cluttering the thread”

I guess I’ll have to think long and hard about it while changing brakes and oil on that bad boy tonight…

You know I hate body work.

I’ll be ready to assist in wiring and the air ride setup when you are ready.

I work on my car, I’m too broke and don’t have the time to take it anywhere.

That being said, I don’t work on it until something craps out… but then I do it myself. I drink beer, and I usually cuss a lot during the process, unless it’s something easy like brakes.

Go me.

Just started doing regular maintenance on my cars. Got ripped off by my mechanic for a $500 brake job that didn’t fix the issue. Ended up being diff fluid that needed to be replaced for $20. From now on I’ll be doing all my own regular maintenance (fluids, brakes, rotations, etc.). I’ve had a lot of fun learning my way around the cars and it is a pretty gratifying feeling when you finish up the job.

Since danhr NEEDS to be updated, I’ll continue to post here.

All I need to do now is some wiring and it’ll be ready to go. Man I hope I get it finished soon but work has me heading south for a bit.
