Deathscythe 10-14-2009, 10:32 PM You just couldn't resist could you? Good luck! You know I'll laugh at you if you lose.lol
you have my vote :twothumbs
Joe Schulte 10-14-2009, 10:39 PM you have my vote :twothumbs
All I need :twothumbs.
Car's not going to look any better, new pictures are fresh, and it pays respect to the man above for his car being reborn as the lady in red :lol:.
Gauge is a Glowshift, cheap, matches factory in terms of font, and it does the job.
Deathscythe 10-14-2009, 10:42 PM the rims looked good on his car and look good on yours too. I just want to be able to look at my car without shaking my head.
WVsuperSS 10-14-2009, 10:43 PM looks great man... how much did you pay for the G6 rims? if you dont mind i'd love to get some
nice. was it hard to install? i love that idea. and the rims too. got my vote
Joe Schulte 10-14-2009, 10:47 PM One drive Danew and all will be well!
Price was too good to pass up, we'll leave it at that.
stacy_dammit 10-14-2009, 10:48 PM hmmm, victory red...(drool) well its between you and redss/na. Don-Don-Don. :lol:
WVsuperSS 10-14-2009, 10:50 PM haha i understand, the way it sits with those rims looks great, got my vote
Deathscythe 10-14-2009, 10:56 PM they can always race to determine the winnar!
We'll have another time to get together before the weather takes a turn for the worst.
Joe Schulte 10-14-2009, 11:11 PM Agreed another meet, and truth be told he's got my vote.
I'll race him for the 2.4l SS rear bumper, honestly love how clean those are.
Deathscythe 10-14-2009, 11:13 PM always the professional.
Joe Schulte 10-14-2009, 11:19 PM Fuck him and his sack-of-shit car, hope that planned 75 shot of NAWZ blows the welds on his intake manifold.
:lol: You happy now?
Nah nothing but <3.
Hockeyman 10-14-2009, 11:45 PM very clean!

Joe Schulte 10-15-2009, 08:27 PM Keep it clean.
Anyone whom asked about the gauge I've PM'd, any questions feel free to PM me.
USMCFieldMP 10-15-2009, 08:29 PM I was gonna run this month until I saw your car... don't think I'll run anymore.
Mindrot 10-15-2009, 09:06 PM I like how this car doesn't need thousands of dollars in it to look good. It has my vote
BlueBolt66 10-15-2009, 09:55 PM looks good man, good luck this month
Joe Schulte 10-15-2009, 10:30 PM I like how this car doesn't need thousands of dollars in it to look good. It has my vote

arman14 10-22-2009, 10:02 PM badass car
got my vote
Joe Schulte 10-23-2009, 01:23 AM dude, you win yet..?? ;)
I won a long time ago, like when we bolted everything on :nuts:.
Engine detail being done now, hope to make it a bit more presentable.
07MetallicSC 10-25-2009, 01:48 PM lol did you do the engine bay pic b&w to not show engine bay dirt? lol
either way you got my vote man. love it.
Joe Schulte 10-25-2009, 09:27 PM Eh, mainly corrosion on the valve cover and blower, no dirt. Typical aluminum corrosion, looking to pull both of them off here soon, have an awesome color scheme thought up which is both subtle yet unique. Not really into making this show-worthy but I want it to be presentable.
Joe Schulte 10-28-2009, 11:33 PM Shameless bump.
StreetDreamz 10-30-2009, 12:09 AM You would get my vot for FCOTM if you didn't have f***ing GMS2 stuff on your car. Why spend all that money on suspension, then half ass power?
stealthy1ss 10-30-2009, 12:30 AM Your looks tits! Clean and simple.
Cdnturboz 10-30-2009, 12:35 AM Car looks great! Not sure if this has been asked or not yet, for those G6 GXP wheels, were they a bolt on affair? Any rubbing?
Steve M.
GPZRider96 10-30-2009, 05:59 AM good luck. you've got my vote
Joe Schulte 10-30-2009, 08:32 AM You would get my vot for FCOTM if you didn't have f***ing GMS2 stuff on your car. Why spend all that money on suspension, then half ass power?
I "half-assed" power as I wanted something reliable and efficient versus a stuttering car on 60's with heat-soak. You mad that I chose this myself? I'm a pulley and injector swap away from an upgrade. So a couple dollars and 20 mins + a new tune, I'm not stressing it.
Besides my power I do have came from my tune, not the "f***ing GMS2 stuff". The difference is there as I drove the car 2-weeks with the GM tune.
Never thought I'd have to defend my choices and get someone butt-hurt over them :lol:.
StreetDreamz 10-30-2009, 09:11 AM Idk, I've worked on enough stage 2 tunes to know it's garbage. But if you are sayinf people with the 60s are having "stuttering issues" then whoever is installing and tuning those 60s is a moron that should not be tuning cars. I ran them for over a year, even on the Harrop, and have installed and tuned them in MANY cars with no issues. Also with the heat soak, a $100 intercooler endtank will fix that. 2nd best investment you will ever make.

Clean car thoug man, but my vote has to go to someone else because this is about liking the whole car, not just parts of it.
[QUOTE=StreetDreamz;4416491].................................................. .................................................. ........................................QUOTE]
just vote for him....I'd appreciate and he would too. ;)
Joe Schulte 10-30-2009, 06:29 PM I'm not saying my tuner of choice would have issues with tuning 60's, that's just the common complaint I hear none of which were tuned by Joe.
Like I said, I enjoy the car as-is, I've proved what I've wanted to with past cars. This car gets me to work, and I enjoy it as-is. If I want to go fast I get on two-wheels, not behind the dash of an economy car. Just personal opinion.
mrbelvedere 10-30-2009, 07:00 PM dude you got my vote hands down
Jared B 10-30-2009, 07:03 PM Got my vote.
Joe Schulte 10-30-2009, 11:36 PM Thanks a ton fellas, I'm glad more people enjoy simplicity and understand where I'm coming from.
