thanks guys. The luder is still local, Im not really sure who owns it anymore. Doesnt really matter to me as long as its taken care of haha. I see it quite often myself (and kinda miss it when i see it), then the 5.7 reminds me why i got rid of it lol. GTOs kinda stock for now, just the intake and the 18s i picked up for it. I have a suspension set up picked out to help it in the twistys a bit. Hope to do a cam and full exhaust on it but no hurry, trying get into a house so the toys go on the back burner at times. ---

Nice Goat! I just picked one up in February. If it still has the stock Blaupunkt in dash 6 disk changer they all seem to crap out prematurely so keep your eye out for an aftermarket deck. Mine broke withing minutes of driving it off the lot. :lol I have the stereo removal tools if you need them Another thing to keep an eye on is the ignition cylinder, they wear out unexpectedly and can stick in the locked position and won’t release the key. If/when it happens it can leave you stranded. :wtf Mine felt kinda sticky so I modded it and it’s awesome now. I can show you how if you’re interested. if you’re looking for a good first suspension mod buy drag bags. They help reduce the wheel hop big time and make the car feel way tighter especially off the line. Check out [ls1gto.com](http://ls1gto.com) if you haven’t already. ---

> [@bennyfizzle](#): > > E36 m3’s ignition tumblers do the same thing only they like to just sit there and spin and do nothing :headbang Yeah I’ve heard about that. It’s funny when you take the cylinder apart on the GTOs you can see the flaw in the design right away, the lock pin is hardened steel and the sleeve is aluminum. After a while the pin wears away a valley and traps itself. ---
