    New project car!!!

    Sorry, It's a LT1 youre correct. Thanks for all the reminders. Yeah the fuel system will need to change, along with all the speedo equipment. I planned on cleaning the motor up and doing maint before dropping it in. Having trouble locating the harness on Jugs, its by painless I know that (I...

    New project car!!!

    At the time I seriously had no idea what the heck you were talking about. LOL.. Ive done as much research as I think i can do on this topic. The only thing im really confused about.. does the current K-member need to be cut out? or does it drop with a couple of bolts? I know Spohn and BMC sell...

    Ants on/in car

    I had this happen with my 2000 Jetta I used to own. But they were called "crazy ants" and they are impossible to get rid of. I see you are in New Jersey, these ants I believe are local to the south, so that may not be your problem. I had to get a special tube of stuff from a exterminator. Its...

    New project car!!!

    I knew it was a good idea to keep the stickers!! lol. Took the front drivers side panel off last night.. what a PIA. I had to remove the side skirt and fold a support bracket back (crushed in.. curb probably) to remove a bolt. Also had to rip the back drivers side interior panel off to get to a...

    New project car!!!

    It's not really luck :P Its time a money. Yes Gill we are happy with it.. but really there is nothing stopping us from stripping it, having it towed and finding something in a little better shape if we really need to. These cars are just hard to find in Houston and surrounding area's. You...

    New project car!!!

    Thats awesome.. thanks! We werent planning on that much work, but you never know. From what I know so far, the power windows work fine, the switches all work no problem. The car will not turn over, the temp gauge shoots straight up, the fuel gauge goes to full and it doesnt even attempt to...

    New project car!!!

    I had no idea a Vette drivetrain would even fit. I havent done as much research on this as I need to, but I planned on junkyard shopping this coming weekend.

    New project car!!!

    Yup :) They are kids Jules.. they get into crap worse than that. Its really not as bad as it looks. Body damage is easy, The 6 in it looks like itll actually run (crank turns, no oil or transmission leaks) . Just for fun I may get that running just to have something to play with.

    New project car!!!

    The weather stripping is actually in good shape.. I was up till 2am with the wife cleaning the car out and checking for rust under all the carpet. The crap muffler and piping came off really easy, but we are still having a hell of a time moving the damn thing further into the garage. Going to...

    New project car!!!

    Will do! I think we are shooting for 350hp. Its just going to be a fun weekend car to drive around, nothing serious. Anyone know how the heck to get this thing in my garage with no back axle or suspension? I've been trying to come up with some idea's.

    New project car!!!

    We didnt buy it just cause it was cheap. The wife and I had been talking about a project car for some time. We really wanted a IROC-Z 82-84, but these cars are VERY hard to find in houston for some reason. If you do find them people want 3-4k for them barely running. It'll be a fun toy when shes...

    New project car!!!

    Thanks for the advice! The floor panels do seem very solid.. I stomped on them with my foot a couple of times. The pan that held the battery is completly rusted out. The car seems like it was taken care of very well. Only some very minor body damage on the drivers side. Glass is perfect and...

    New project car!!!

    I saw a RS at junk yard the other day.. me and my wife went there today and the guy only wanted $250 for the car. Its in great shape for the year, but its missing the whole back suspension. Ill post pics of the car when I pick it up next weekend. Planned on replacing the V6 with a 350 small...

    Rear windshield tint peeled off

    Carb cleaner isnt that bad.. Spray it on a rag outside the car and go to town. A razor isnt recommended because you might scratch the traces off for the defrost. :)

    I found a Windows 7 bug

    Not so sure if this is a bug or not. Seems some newer accounting software will totaly freak out if you start messing with dates and times. Honestly you should have just changed the date and time on the Bios and everything SHOULD have been fine.

    Infinite Undiscovery

    Oh great.. another game I need to get!!! I just started Disk 3 of Lost Odyssey and I cant get enough of it. It's really starting to remind me of FF7.. the music and the enviroments seem all to familiar sometimes. and the story to me is very very good. I love reading the dreams, its a nice break...

    PS3 getting REALLY hot

    Its out of warranty so you might as well give it a try. If you mess it up or it fails, you can always spend about $150 to get it repaired. good luck.. it looks like a total PITA.

    What are you playing this weekend? (4/17)

    RE4 was slower than 5, which made it easier to me to keep track of what was going on. RE5 has way too much going on half the time and the controls just seem very slow. I loved RE4, but Im having a very hard time adapting to 5 for some reason. I'll wait till I can grab it for cheap at game crazy.

    PSP 2/PSP-4000 rumors

    I thought the whole reason the PSP didn't do so well was because of the cost of development. I read somewhere that they would never make a god of war for the psp again because it had about the same time frame and cost to develop for a console.

    Windows 7 RC 1 Build 7077

    7077 has been a mixed bag for me. While it seems my Excel problem has been fixed, my computer will BSOD coming out of standby randomly, and the whole OS doesnt seem as snappy and it failed to install a couple of drivers from Windows update (but everything still shows in device manager), I guess...

    Windows 7 RC 1 Build 7077

    I feel ya. I just now had a bug with my bluetooth mouse. Computer came back from standby and the mouse wouldn't ever come back.. not even after a reboot. I had to remove it and add it again. Also, when I have Excel 2007 minimized for too long, I have graphical glitches in my spreadsheet. I...
