[quote=t/adreams;3552242]Hey guys, just spent my first week here and DAMN, its COLD! I live near North Street (the good part, not that no-so-awesome area). I have an excellent view of the city and some HD channels and the sports package. Anytime any of you would like to drop by to watch the game and drink some beers, I'm good for it.
North Ave? 15212? There is no good side to North Ave!

I also checked out Saddle Ridge last night, I really had a good time, even though I didn't know a soul. Do you guys ever meet up for anything other than repairs?
In other news, I still have the T/A out at the moment but I'm looking for a beater, I ran across a 2.8l but it didn't run quite as decently as I'd like it to.
Anyone have anything under a grand they want to sell me?

Re: PIttsburgh
Yeah I should have mine wet sanded by then. As soon as the weather breaks Itll get done. I still need to insure it, register it, and get it inspected but I'm in the process of that now. I haven't had it on the road yet since I bought it 2 years ago and started restoring it, but its getting close to being done. Til then I'll be driving around in my 97' Grand Am GT like I've been doing lol..

Most of us are watching it, just not as often. I've been spending time working on my cars instead of at the computer. I plan on going to world of wheels, probably saturday.

Re: PIttsburgh
Paper specs look good to accomplish my goals...i just hope it works out that way. I see no reason why this car cant have 400-420whp and run mid 11's 
just gotta get it up and running so i can complete it. once the motor is in, i'll need to do the exahust and to do that i feel i will need subframe conectors and possibly the cage installed before i can cut the frame to clear the exhaust. Then ofcourse its probly gonna take me a month to get the idle/part throttle tuning somewhat liveable. WOT should take a few hours on the dyno i guess..maybe less if i do alot of street tuning before hand..which i will
