Spy Photos Inside!

I was on my way back from brunch at the Spaghettini Bar and Grille in Seal Beach when I noticed an extremely clean 3rd gen at a near by gas station. I being extremely shy in nature approached the owner. I complemented him on his vehicle and seized the opportunity to tell him about the club. Upon completion of our conversation he told me that a guy that lived just down the street from him had a 3rd gen and might be interested in joining a club. He also mentioned this guy was working on his vehicle as we were speaking. Great I replied, I’ll go and talk to him now. Here is where it all starts to go pear shaped. Just as I started to recognize my surroundings, there it was the blue bunny! But what’s this, a cherry picker, engine stand, and enough performance products to start a business. I pull my Tahoe around the corner and jumped out to get a few candid photos of the secret project as it was happening. All I can say is that this is a man on a mission, the determination and focus being displayed was amazing. I couldn’t see all of the boxes because I didn’t want him to see me, but there is some serious power being built over in Westminster today. I’ll keep you posted as best I can but after contacting this individual via cell phone moments after these photos were taken, he stated all I’m going to do today is watch the Daytona 500 and BBQ. Lies, deceit, and just dirty! I will keep you posted as the facts become available. This individual will be made to explain his falsehoods!

Removing. Those low-performance Aluminum Edelbrock heads are now in my posession. Along with another box of aluminum stuff. How much is aluminum scrap going for these days?

Poor blue bunny, it was in serious need of a heart transplant. I think I know the guy ... looks vaguely familiar? Isn't he the one that doesn't know how to drive? To bad, he also has other "show queens" as well.

I implemented a little stealth technology with the use of imported Spanish masonry tape. That combined with my radar absorbing skin enabled me to click off a few without being detected.My cover was almost blown when the neighbor came out and asked what I was doing. I quietly told her that I was a photographer from a leading gay publication and our suspect had submitted his portfolio for consideration in an upcoming calendar. I was simply there conducting a little investigation as to the validity of his portfolio. Surprisingly enough she walked away at a brisk pace muttering “I knew it” and that’s when the phone rang and the suspect in question went inside to get it. This is when I was able to get in close and noticed a few boxes scattered about. Summit, Jeg’s, Paw, etc. all having been delivered within the last week. Something is very wrong here boys and it is our duty to find out!

Look At The Picture Closely>>>>>>>

That is not the blue bunny. Look at the A/C location, The radiator fan cover, those are not smog legal headers, the A/C condenser is made different,the engine is further away from the firewall and also look at the top of the firewall, that is not 3rd gen engine compartment. The engine is not in a 3rd gen car. Sorry dude! you can't fool me! :nono:

Are you kidding me! Dude that’s the blue bunny! I saw it with my own eyes, and yes it’s a third gen

Trust me Vince I am just as pissed, as you are, I can’t believe this ****er wouldn’t tell me that he was going to mod his engine…

I think Vince is referring to the gold plated TPI picture. it may not be in the Z28 now, but once the e-bay seller ships it truck freight, it won't take long to get there.

Ok James I see how it is, well everyone it looks like its gonna be a showdown in March. Since everyone is being so secretive about his or her combinations, I will come right out in the open with mine. I am going to fog the ****ing manifold. I may not be able to beat you guys but I will be close enough to watch you miss a shift and I’m gonna do it on 18’s. Its on now!
