Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget

been a while since i've done an update...cause well...theres been nothing to update about. lol the trucks suffered a ding in the rear from what i'm guessing was from either a car or a buggy thanks to a POS shopper at wal-mart. but it's not too bad.

i'm finally getting around to fixing my transmission line. i got a 12" piece of steel tubing and two ferrel pipe connectors. while i'm fixing that i'm gonna install an aftermarket tranny cooler and probably a drain plug on the tranny pan.

i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. i'll ask my boss and make sure. you can probably swing by during lunch (1-2) one day or after work (at like 7) and get 'r done.

hell, i got a jack and stands, we can do it in my driveway. get a pan, some RTV, and a new gasket. i'll grab a scraper from work.

Re: Project: sport handling on a college budget

Watched the one video from inside the truck and it looks like you could really benifit from a ZQ8 or Camaro steering box. You'll be doing alot less steering wheel shuffle. I haven't auto-x my truk but I did with my '92 Z28 on Eibach and loved it.

woot! rode over to a friends house and..."stole" some wheels. lol







idk, we were kinda on the fence about them...we think that my old ZQ-8's fit the truck better.

i've also been doing some underhood cleaning.



trying my hand at polishing some underhood stuff.
