You're right that video is horrible. Judging by the scenery I would bet it wasn't very well planned or executed.

So I'm curious how much thought you've put into the oxygen sensors? I would suppose bank 1 and bank 2 would still work relatively well unless there is a cylinder imbalance. The ECM would continue to make adjustments without results until fuel trims are maxed out. I suppose changing the computer to stay in open loop might be the simplest way to prevent issues.

So when these are done I'm going to steal your Corvette long enough to remove these and swap them with my store bought headers, okay? sweet.

Broke dicks always get more back, my return has gone down as I move up in taxable income.

I was picturing a twisted x-pipe, but I look forward to seeing more of your progress. Still excited to hear it.

FYI ws6 store still lists a lot of discontinued parts, I'm pretty sure GM stopped produsing these heads and is why Scoggin Dickey no longer lists them, they are just a big GM dealer in texas. I wish I had the cash to spare right now, these would be great on my Vette. Want to do Paypal and I come pick them up?

I have used Turbo tax the last 4-5 years, never had an issue. I'm a little paranoid so i pay extra for their no questions insurance, it's probably just them praying on people's tax fears but I buy it anyway.

Magnetic Red is a multi-step process, most body shops can't do a quality paint match. Redo the whole car in something else, a wrap, an autoflex coating, or full respray.

They are indeed stuck on with double sided tape, just like an f-body. Personally I don't mind them, that's why I left them on my car. Unlike the f-body GM charged for those to be on the Corvette, they did not come standard.

Unplug the MAF and see what it does.

Nice pics. Your sig is pretty out of date, there hasn't been a team Miata in at least a few years.

I guess I'll just keep on playing the role of uneducated white man that the media was talking about during the election. Personally it would take him seriously fucking up for me to vote for a "real politician", so here's to reelection.

I agree that the system is broken, but for the few things Obamacare offered help with it hurt many more people. Cost went up for everyone, but you take honest working people like my Father and because he works for a small business he needs to provide his own insurance. He's priced out, it costs more then his mortgage. Fucking ridiculous. Now he's taking penalties and making the hospital write off his bills anyway, what the fuck does that fix? Many people are in that boat, it's a blow to small business.

Let me just say that I voted for Trump. I don't care what you think, I want smaller government, I want to be rid of Obamacare, and I don't believe in gun control. So Trump was an easy vote for me. After hearing some of these protesters speak after their ridiculous march, liberals make less sense to me then ever. So you marched for rights, said some really nasty things, voiced messages that most decent people wouldn't say with a small child present, and you think people will be inspired to follow you? I don't understand what came out of all the bullshit this past week, and I'm personally sick to know there are large groups of hypocrites out there ready to march and be heard by the biased media. If you call yourself a liberal, I don't understand you, and I don't know why anyone would continue to follow this thought process.

Very awesome idea, I remember that Daytona 500 it was a really awesome sound. I hope you get this together so I can hear it on the Vette. I would love to have something unique like that on my Corvette.

I've watched the documentaries, it's very unpleasent but it's where meat comes from. If people don't like that they can be vegetarian if they so choose. I however still eat meat and just have accept that an animal had to die for me to eat it. Since I don't live on a farm raising my own food it's just how it is. Mistreating a dog for the sake of a movie is really pretty lame, and that doesn't really make a comparison to animals used for food. I dislike the carelessness that goes on for animals, in many cases it's just unethical, but I don't really do anything about it. So that will conclude my two cents on this topic.:dumb:

I bought Chemical Guys white light and white wax for my Camaro and Corvette last year, and I'm happy with the results. It hides many minor defects and shines nicely, this year I plan to spend some more time prepping so there isn't as much that needs hiding but I haven't decided on compounds yet.

If I understand correctly "corner boards" are usually installed first and the siding is run up to them with a trim piece of siding used to form the edge of siding. I foresee more issues trying to put that over the siding and leaving ugly gaps and potentially flattening the siding. This would look terrible up close. I'd save up and do it right, once, but that's me.

Hell no.

Every time Wagner or I has gone down there nobody seems to know how to do it, then they seem confused when it's not totally empty but a half full bottle is no good when you only have one bottle as most people do. Last time they said the bottle was broken and they couldn't fill it, I later proved that it was fine. So like I said it's just been a pain. Back when I used to go to the E Main store I had none of these issues.

This is where I'd go. Jeg's does it but they are a total pain in the ass.

new guy knows nothing.....this should be fun!!

Welcome, find an old 5.3 drop out from a truck and get that thing running an LS. You could get lots of help around here to get that swap running, otherwise you need to be on Newark Racing.com. -
I have a few Harbor Frieght tools, but to be honest I haven't bought anything from them in years so my opinion of their stuff is irrelevent. The few wrenches and sockets I have of theirs have stood up fairly well and I haven't broken them, but they were bought because they are things I don't use often. 10 years ago you just didn't buy anything from there that had moving parts, maybe that's changed, but earning a living with my tools means not taking that chance. Has anyone bought a tool with many moving parts from HF and had good luck with it? used it more then a couple times?

Pretty safe to say that any of the name brands are light years ahead of stuff from just 3-4 years ago, so it's pretty hard to get something that won't do most jobs. I know guys who love the Milwaukee stuff, I personally have the Snap-on and it does a great job. Lots of hate on Snap-on because of price but I buy from a customer service, convenience, and simple finance options. I simply don't have many issues with their tools and when I do a rep is not hard to find, and it gets fixed easily. These things are much more important to me when it's my job then just what the most powerful. I said all that to say that you'd have to be an idiot to buy one that won't take off or put on your common 100-200 foot pound fasteners. I find these type of discussions mildly stupid, it's like a tire tech or lube tech that thinks they need some expensive super kick ass air gun to take off or install lug nuts that are supposed to be torqued between 80-140 foot pounds. You don't think those old bullet proof $200 Ingersol guns they've been selling for years won't do a good job and last longer? Just buy what will do the job at a fair price, don't waste your money so you can brag about your goddamn impact like anyone cares.
