GM High Tech april '07 issue


I grabbed all the issues off the stand the other day
I'm pretty psyched that I got a cool little write up on the car. Hopefully with some more work and effort I can get a feature ! I'm trying to get the car even cleaner, and i also just discovered it was running on 7 cylinders for awhile.. (a valve was too tight, plug fouled) and was running consistent 13.6s. Now that i have relashed the valves and fixed it Im hoping to get into low 13 territory. Figured i'd share to any of those GMHTP readers out there. Its an awesome mag!

Congrads again. I didn't realize you were so young. I am way behind.

Thanks everyone. Im just a young college kid working on a budget, slowly picking away at the car year by year. I'd still like to touch up a few things on the interior, and install a nice CD player and car alarm. Tomorrow i'll be ripping it apart to replace a fairly new water pump
but it keeps me busy i suppose.

I wish I was 13 again or even 19 again...
Very nice...and I am impressed that in the 8th grade you knew what car you wanted, and got it right. Some people are 50 years old and don't knowwhat car they want.Imagine how much you can do to your car once you graduate from college and start making some real money.

There is an email address in the readers rides section of GMHTP, I sent them in a description and 4 pictures of the car. I never got a response so i wasn't sure if it was gonna be in the magazine or not, but sure enough..

I saw a car today that looks exactly like yours.
I was heading up Route 17 from North Carolina back to Virginia.
I had to come back and check this thread to see what state you are in since I thought it might have been you.
