Took my car up to Powell's to get the valves cleaned, had him throw in the rotated trans mount while I was there as well.

A little before and after.

 

Hmm your the red SS i saw Sunday at his house? if so that one was bad. Car must run night and day difference.

 

This thread sure has gone a long way

 

People must be doing a bunch of stuff.

 

Yep, that was me.

Idles smoother and I'm noticing that I'm getting much better fuel mileage when cruising at a constant speed. Definitely worth the drive up to have John clean them.

Next up is new arms with spherical tcabs.

 

i did it myself last year. I will see how bad they are after 6k km with a zfr tuned for pump and meth. Im curious.

 

Finished my retro's, putting them in the car tomorrow.

 

^that your first set?

 

Yep, first attempt at retrofit's.

 

Came out nice. How many hours and approximately how much did they cost to make?

 

Probably around 6-7 hours total spread over the last week, that's not including curing time for epoxy/JB weld. I bought the Stage III kit from TRS for $320, Osram bulbs $180, epoxy/JB weld, paint and other odds and ends were another $150ish.

 

Plus spare headlights

 

If you use the meth a lot they will be clean as a whistle. I remember ff_ace pulled his im and head at 68000 miles and the intake runners, valves, pistons etc looked brand new. He had a meth and E-47 tune from me for most of that time. Dont know why he built the motor it was not broken.

 

Just finished installing MOOG Problem Solver rear control arm bushings, road test imminent.

 

Yes

 

Put on my headlight covers.

 

Assembled these:



I got them powder coated and rebuilt them.

 

Installed downpipe and sway bar.

 

Wash and wax

 

Did you buy those or did you make them? I need those for my car.

 

Bmarts1991 your car is clean. Thumbs up.

 

I bought them. Thanks shanedude.

 

Looks nice! I want your headlights

 

Cleaned, clay barred and waxed

 

Missed it. It's in for the recall.
