I mean I paid $120 for my Exploder 8.8, 3.73, lsd and disc brakes.

Oh look some pictures! http://56.media.tumblr.com/5184d8efcf0b33df1062d96aeaf4f4a7/tumblr_o1e9syN6E01suerqbo1_1280.jpg http://56.media.tumblr.com/0ff1de1534d24b62913ed495365883e1/tumblr_o1e9syN6E01suerqbo2_1280.jpg http://56.media.tumblr.com/10d9e767bff65a0e5133ce71cd50ab5e/tumblr_o1e9syN6E01suerqbo3_1280.jpg http://56.media.tumblr.com/6b63b95009118500825b1c2f236605a9/tumblr_o1e9syN6E01suerqbo4_1280.jpg Fenders, inner fenders and front bumper are all sitting in my dad's garage waiting to be prepped and painted. Still need to do something about the hood.... dad seems to think a L88 style scoop would look good. I don't want a standard cawl...those are WAYYY too overdone on S-series. Once I get my taxes, I will be ordering the the Spohn control arms and Front end rebuild kit. Since as far as I know it's all original from '92. Next real upgrade I'm looking at is LS1 brakes.... Flynbye has the pre modded Spindles with hubs installed for $400 for the set. then it's just All stainless brake lines and braided hoses and the Hydroboost. Eventually need to get a new windshield. Would like to tint the windows when I do the electronics in the doors.. Also been thinking about doing some green Dragon Laminates on the headlights...I think it would look really nice with the black/blue pearl on the body & grille and the black/green pearl tentacles...maybe a little too ricey. And as for making it look good.... LMC has the door and rockers.....But I also need a whole bed and tailgate... mine might not look bad from a few feet away but the front of the bed is rusted out and the wheel wells are pretty bad. tailgate is rusted out pretty bad at the bottom seam. And I'd also like to get some kind of tonneau cover maybe a snap on like the Syclone had. Annnnnddd I'm going to try an build a tubular core support since mine is rusted and cut to hell.

... People actually hook up on Tinder? I thought it was just bots... /uglyguyproblems

LT4 Colorado... Don't think anyone would really want a V8 Equinox or Traverse :/ The LS4 was just a 5.3 with a weird dinky little clone of an LS6 intake.

Hellcat jeep? Sounds like GM needs to put a LT4 in a SUV

Looking for a doctor, not sure if it's going to be bone/joint or neuro related. But I got injured over a year ago at work (yes it was filed at work as well) Went to their doctor every week for like 6 months and did I think 12 sessions of Physical Therapy but with little to no improvement. pain is in my upper/mid back and into the shoulder blade. Have like 70% loss in rage of motion on my right arm with stabbing/burning pain. Their doctor insisted it was a torn rotator cuff, x-ray of shoulder showed nothing at the joint, MRI showed nothing but mild inflammation. Stepmom is a nurse and has been telling me it's probably a dislocated rib, but I've been too lazy to find another doctor and now it's gotten ridiculous at work and they are no longer working with me and have completely thrown out the doctor's orders on my work release.

Depression, First thing.... Stop drinking all together. Exercise, it releases endorphins that will help with depression. Punching bags are your friend. Maybe try picking up a hobby to keep you busy in your spare time? Models? Photography? Learn Java and make android things? R/C? I mean photography, I know a few local models that a great to shoot with... Human interaction is good for you. R/C cars, Nitro or Electric IIRC there are races every weekend all year. Again human interaction with other people with a common interest.. Just some suggestions.

Iron pony should have "universal" kill switches

Happy new years to you all, hopefully 2016 will be good for everyone! Yooooo, let's have a rekt race around 270 lol

YES PLZ!

This thread is so rarely updated...I'm such a sloth.. Anyways, after buying HPtuners I've set the transmission all to spec with a SSR including the Torque management... and also set up the "performance" mode which just needs me to hook up the button. Transmission has not shifted weird since I reset everything. guy that tuned it originally set everything the same as stock "performance" so I dunno what was causing the intermittent hard shifts. as for the engine tune, I've only changed the spark table to a 2002 SS camaro, changed the fuel stuff to match a 2004 Silverado for the 628 injectors. as soon as I get some time off work and decent weather I'll get some "real" tuning in on the street. As for fixing broken shit.....I found a rattle coming from the transmission was one of the bolts had backed out...guess that's why you are supposed to use loctite. Coming soon. New body parts.. already ordered a new front bumper without the bump strip holes, driver side inner fender and passenger side fender... Still need to order the other inner and fender as well as a Driver side door shell and both rocker panels. Which I plan to get done this spring. Going to have my dad paint them before I put them on. And since I have to replace the upper/lower bushings and ball joints, I figured what the hell, good excuse to order a set of Spohn control arms. And while the whole front end is apart, I'm going to sand down the frame and throw some por-15 on it. Still have the BCM from a 2001 Camaro ready to go in, which I'll probably door with the doors since I can get the Regulators and actuators installed.. It's still a SLOW ass process but it is starting to come along. and I'm ready to get it looking good since I've not had any issues with the way it's running since I put in the new engine.

STILL 7,000?! I mean I've read the LS engines with basic valve train upgrades can rev for days....but on a stock engine that seems a little high to me....But that's just me I guess. *The guy who enabled the P/N Abuse limiter at 3,200

Sounds like a hell of a project... but should be hella fun once it is finished. I don't know shit about Corollas... but I know the whole wedging a LS into a tiny engine bay...and some wiring, so if you need some extra help just hit me up.

I need to strap the battery down, got shitty tires and the windshield has a crack across the bottom right corner. otherwise everything else should be good.

Mmmmm ls brz, there's a video on YouTube of one and it looks pretty sweet. Good Lord. The limiter on my 5.3 is 6,200 with wot shift rpm at 5,800 :no:

I wonder....since it's a 20 second ET would my "less than legal" S10 pass the tech?

Would have been awesome, but he already put the engine back together...and I guess doesn't want to take things apart again?

Buddy of mine is doing some work to his truck and wants to replace the cam while it's apart. He wants something in the .480 to .500 lift range. it's going in a 1996 C1500 with a 305? Looking for something by this weekend, if anyone has something Said he's got $140 to spend.

Ordering HPtuner for my truck as soon as my paycheck posted and I just figured I'd ask yet another stupid question on here.... Anyways, I've been playing around with the VCM suite in demo mode figuring out the actual program and comparing stock tunes... I've found the 2004 SSR (with a 5.3) looks to be slightly more aggressive than say a silverado tune. Now here is the stupid question. to use as a starting point for street tuning, would I just flash the SSR OS to my PCM, or copy over the tables I want to the 1999 Silverado 4.8 OS currently on my pcm? Reading other write ups on LS swaps I've seen mention of people running the Corvette OS on their 5.3 with a cam?

But I just like the sound of 6k in my truck.... not sure if everyone looks at me when I run it out in 2nd on the highway because 1. it's a piece of shit 2. they are also gay 3. they just think "look at this foggot revving his engine"

Getting around that time of year when I have a lot of extra money and I think it's finally time to upgrade my worn out 225/70r15 and 235/70r16 mismatched tire on my hoopty. I'm budgeting this to around 1,500-1,600 including $800 I'm spending on new 18x8 wheels. right now I'm looking at Continental Sport contact 5 tires in a 255/55r18 (255/55 is my target size since I don't want to chance a bent wheel and are the biggest I KNOW I can run) I just don't want to end up with a crap tire or not the best tire for the money. Anyways for those that don't know? The vehicle in question is a 1992 RCSB 2wd S10 with a 5.3L (so it should be putting about 250ish to the rear wheels) it's an auto so, take offs are not THAT aggressive. It is a DD running about 20miles a day to and from work (city and highway) obviously I'll have a crap set of wheels/tires for the winter so I'm just looking at summer tires that won't slide all over the place in the rain. might see a little track action in the summer.(I maybe run a total of 5,000 miles a year so low wear is OK so long as the traction is good)

went poking around under the hood and found the middle coil had been replaced (had two 1/4 coils) assuming they had replaced just a single coil and did not apply thermal grease I threw a whole different set in it's place. (there was a whole set in the spare tire cubby) so far it seems to be running much better (just went to stringtown and back) Still need to replace the plug wires since I found most of them had melted and probably do plugs too. Ls1 swap I was kind of thinking that, but don't those usually smell like sulfur when they get clogged and smoke? I know when the one my my girlfriends Focus got clogged up it would run, but could not move out of it's own way.

Was throwing a maf low circuit the last week, cleaned and took care of that problem.. Was able to see cylinder 6,7 & 8 misfire count 6 & 8 were showing 10-12,000 7 was showing 55,000. Don't know if that is an accurate reading that's just misread on the cylinder or just bad data since I was using a crappy scanner. Only code I've seen it throw since has been the egr (which has been capped off but not removed from the pcm) I've read sometimes the crank sensor plugs corrodes and can cause intermittent problems (forgot to add when wet it is worse) And that apparently the coils overheat if not properly set on the heatsinks.. I'll go ahead today and start poking around at stuff

That firebird my mom bought is having some issues.... it runs strong....sometimes. other times.... no so much. the problem is intermittent to say the least. occasionally it will hiccup on hard acceleration, hiccups are a LOT worse at highway speeds. sometime it will just spit and sputter once or twice and be fine... Other times the engine will loose power and drop down to idle on the highway and eventually stall then start up just fine after you turn the key off and start it. if you leave it in gear one it runs down to idle it will surge TERRIBLY (like blipping the throttle in 1st gear) until you put it in neutral and it stalls. Replaced the fuel filter and that helped a little bit, ran two different fuel system cleaners through it (they helped a lot while they were in the tank) What's weird to me though is if it was fuel/spark related it wouldn't drop down to idle and take a 10-15 seconds to die, would it? I'm kind of thinking it might be something in the DBW system? (I don't know much about them) It ran fine going to Zanesville tonight but on the way back it started acting up... it would start bogging like it lost spark, but was not stalling, it would run down to idle and if you kept feathering the throttle it would surge hard and keep running, if you shifted into neutral and stopped it would die. start it back up and it would run fine for a few miles and repeat the whole thing.. I went through 3 fuel pumps in 2½ years on my S10, and it's not running like a dying pump. It's a 2001 Firebird with a 3.8L V6 and Auto transmission. all I know is it has DBW, a ridiculous crank position sensor, some weird ass coil packs and no 4k abuse limiter.
