Does anyone know of a place in the Okanagan that does steering wheel resto's? Or anyplace online? I've searched the forums and found a few, but it would be great to support local.

RK82

Im planning on putting insurance on the bird in April hopefully, thinking second weekend. That way I can insure it for 6 months, and catch all the drags
Im all up for a cruise and a meet/dinner

refried

lol ive been driving mine for a little while now..... right after street sweeping... ya a meet might be a good plan though im basically spending my weekends trying to get some moneys for paint as macco paint jobs are bs and mine is basically back too primer also need to put on my headers.. theyve been sittin in my garage since september

WhiskeyChick

iTrader: (4)

My bird wont be there, didnt realise I was driving with no insurance on the daily :S My bad

RK82

my car dosen't like being at the top of a mountain, the best I could do was a 10.78 at 65 MPH.

RK82

The next street legal night at Thunder mountain is on Saturday, anyone going? I was hoping to have my new to me holley carb rebuilt and on by then but that dosen't look like its going to happen.

Gtuck

Gtuck

Gtuck

any thoughts on these headlights http://www.dashzracing.com/Lighting-...-p7753299.html

RK82

not to much right now, just KYB shocks and struts, energy suspension control arm bushings, a bigger rear sway bar.

those are kinda cool, my car does need new headlights

RK82

if anyone is interested I'll have a edelbrock non-adlustable torque arm and lakewood 50/50 drag shock for sale soon, shocks have 10,000km on them make an offer.

RK82

anyone get there cars back on the road yet?

Brisk

iTrader: (25)

just finishing the wiring on the new 383 stroker... some little odds and ends to put back together and fab up some exhaust for the new long tube headers. should be on the road by the end of the month, but realistically.. by the end of May. (been busy!)

iroc still in storage.

WhiskeyChick

iTrader: (4)

Getting the GTA on the road hopefully this week, finishing up the new headlight install tomorrow. Then she is good to go

RK82

nice, so your keeping the blue car now? do you still have that 355?

Brisk

iTrader: (25)

motor popped in the blue Z28.. and I got a great deal on this motor w/80,000 warranty. still have the 355 wrapped up, its up for sale else I am not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I've also bought a '91 GTA since I've last seen you.

I've really got a craving, once again, for a lsx t-56 third gen.. so I'm not sure whats going to happen, lol!

RK82

I am very undecided on what I want to do with my car either just build a 350/383 and keep my T-10 or a carbed LSX T-56. the LSX seems like the smarter Idea
