Waiting kills!!
 
-Car on jackstands in the midst of a gear swap, 3.08 to 3.42. Who the hell knew that 6 cyl open diff camaros 2 series and 3 series carriers are the same, and you don't need a spacer to put 3 series gears into a 2 series carrier?!?! friends coming up to finish that wednesday

-Rim hopefully being shipped later today, the replacement for that broken one and also the new centercap.

-Magnaflow 3" catback in the box in my living room, I'm waiting for my magnaflow high-flow cat to come in (hopefully shipping wednesday) to put it all on at once (hey, i have a lift to use so itll be qucik and painless)

SOOO MUCH WAITING!!!!!!!!! at least it'll be worth it in the end

****ing bearing cap bolts

Savage_Messiah 01-25-2005 07:08 PM

so yea, the rims in, done and will be back on teh car when the snow is gone... maybe ill just wait till i have it on a lift for exhaust.

snow put a halt on finishing the rear, 2 of the bolts for the bearing caps wouldnt go in. Tried em on the other side they didnt go in, then pu tin the 2 bolts that go on that side andthey went right in. We determined it's damaged threads on the bolt or hole, or a slightly bent bolt. Ordered 2 new ones and we're waiting for them to come in, hopefully those work and we don't have to tap the hole.

Waiting on the cat to come in to do my exhaust (and the rear to finish of course so i can move the car lol), hopefully itll come in the next few days and my car will run so i can go to teh shop saturday and do my exhaust. Half contempating tho just takign it to Meinekie or something since the cat is a lil shorter than the stock one, plus I wanted to get it welded eventually too. I'd be pissed about not doing it myself, but then again I'd know its right and I'd have the warranty effective. :shrug:

Came in tonight.

Bolts also came in today, my dad tried to put em in and still wouldnt go in straight then locked up. Tomorrow he's gonna tap the threads in the hole to straighten em out. HOPEFULLY then these bolts will go in, then its just bolting up the cover and putting in fluid.

I'm guessing I'll just shell out the money and have a shop do my exhaust... I'll know it's done right and have the warantee...

Gears done. Rim on. Muffler cut off :lol:. Cresskill cop to me and my friend with an evo, right as we crossed the border into my town and pulled over to talk to each other, (he has a video clip of it, it was all me not him but) "enough with the donuts for tonight guys?" heh, we passed him leaving a parking lot thought for sure i was busted cuz i couldnt go too slow cuz it'd look suspicious but if i went fast it woulda roared. He went towards the parking lot to survey the tracks but uh... DAMN these gears have a lot more kick, as my smoking tires (with snow on the ground!!) let me know. Successful night, and if there's not too much snow tomorrow my dad and I will install the catback. Anyone wants to help or lend a lift (we have jacks, but :?) you're more than welcome :D

Savage_Messiah 01-31-2005 01:45 PM

Savage_Messiah 01-31-2005 11:08 PM

I'd totally make a comment about that popcorn if I didn't want to have kids...

Savage_Messiah 02-01-2005 02:12 PM

Took my car in around 10:30, got the call at 1:00 that it was done. Got it, tips might be a little crooked / off to the left but i didnt really have time, if so anything ill go later or tomorrow.

The Idle is very very similar to my own cars. Just the actual idle loudness is different but the pulse is defenitly there. Its hard to tell. I mean it defenitly sounds like a v6 but just alot better.
