Well I've got to order some Pacesetter ceramic coated LT's, car trailer blueprints, Lincoln Pro-mig 175, and a few misc things. I have poly bushings for the front control arms and LS1 brakes waiting to go on. I'm also going to learn to weld-gotta learn to weld if you're serious about our hobby. My father wants to build a car trailer ourselves. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Fortunately we have access to a machine shop and competent welders for help.

Before the end of the year:
1. Front brake pads (stockers are almost gone with 22k and a lot of autocrossing, still have a lot on the back) looking at HPS's. Beginning of next season: 2. Two sets of tires, one set of 275/40/17 Toyo RA1's for practice/school/rain tires and a set of A3S04's or 710's for the big events. 3. Torque arm (car is starting to get old enough to hop bad) |

Well, let's see, I just did:
STB Speedline wheels (for street use) Severn brake ducts (still need hose and ducts for air dam) Unbalanced Engineering panhard Sam's 35mm front bar speed bleeders SS hoses CG Lock I'm in the process of woking a deal on some dedicated race wheels w/ BFG G-Force R1s Then, the next things on the list are: Unbalanced LCAs TA seats (w/ the adjustable side & lumbar support) SFCs 4.11 gears maybe some Pacesetter longtubes (not sure I'll bother since the LT4s got extrude honed manifolds from SLP that supposedly flow as good as shorty headers) After that, I'm not doing anything else to it. The next purchase after that will be another Vette. |

Going to do head gaskets sometime in the next two weeks, so I've gotta buy those supplies... as far as non-repair stuff:
Wheels, tires, brakes, and some open track days (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Maybe a ZZ4 crate later this year - I saw some video of my car on the track at a lap day and it's smoking all over the place - the crapped out LG4 has to go. Last autocross I did the car damn near asphyxiated the time keepers. Got fifth though which wasn't too bad for my second event I guess and the cars ahead of me were all high HP 4th gens some with race rubber. I don't like the cones though - to tight - DNF'd the first four runs and then nailed it on the last two with identical lap times..lol - best vehicle for autox is a 100cc kart (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

QUOTE (trackbird @ Jun 27 2004, 12:07 AM) .357 Magnum..... Cool. My friend has a couple of .357 magnums. He has a S&W model 66 6" and a 686 6". The 686 is a nice big frame that really tames the load. I love the flash and noise. The smaller 66 has considerably more recoil being a smaller frame. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I used to own a Taurus 7 shot "66" (nice gun, S&W knock off), bought a Ruger GP 100, then an S&W model 66. Sold the 66 and the GP on gunbroker to buy a nice custom shop S&W large frame 8 shot (627), but the GP never sold. So, I just traded it to my dealer for a Beretta polymer 9mm for concealed carry and am about to buy my GP 100 back. I also used to own a Ruger .454 Casull (big, noisy fun), but after 1200 rounds in 6 months, it was starting to get old putting all the screws back in it. The vibration was taking it apart. It does not seem that it was intended for that kind of use (2 friends and I did 250 rounds, in a long afternoon once). If you don't know what a .454 Casull is, do a google search or look at www.freedomarms.com and click on "your success" and look at the Hippos that were killed in one shot with a .454 handgun. BIG, and did I mention NOISY, fun! I'm an avid shooter/reloader and used to own a Remington 40xb-ks, match rifle with a stainless bull barrel in .300 win mag with a factory 2 oz trigger (yup, 2 oz, that scope has hit me in the head more than a few times when reaching for it, BOOM!). And several other toys (steyer tactical .308 with a beavy barrel, etc). I've had .38's, .40's, a Walther PPK/S, a Colt 70 series Gold Cup, the list goes on.....(more than anyone cares to read). |

8.8" Rear End
RAM VDS 980 Clutch with Alumnium Flywheel Ground Control Coil Overs UE Adj PHR and LCA's Hopefully I can sell my BMR springs, adj PHR, and LCA's for a decent price (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) That should put a nice dent in the pocket book, although I do need to budget for a house too (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Not a C6 (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) saw 3 of them at Mid-O this weekend. Looks like a Mazda again except several different models instead of just the RX7 like last time. Pass on that ass again. It is all chissed-up. I like the curves (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I wish I had known, I'd have tried to catch up and say hello. It's always good to match names and faces. |

I was only there long enough to watch the GT race then had to fly back home. It was a diversionary trip. I print in Cleveland.

Insert catch phrase here Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,098 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Michigan Member No.: 20 |
In case some of you can't guess my next purchase is a new engine, Canton oil pan, SLP flywheel, clutch (don't know which one yet). I'll likely take the transmission out at the same time and go through it over the winter since that's about the last thing on the car I haven't rebuilt.
Next I'll need a higher paying job. |
