You'd think. But with my '96 Z28 it seems like parts have just vanished off of the planet. Discontinued or absolutely no one has them. Finding a console lid with the bracket intact has almost proved impossible. I'm trying to restore it to original state and it's proving difficult in some areas. Junk yards have been some help, but there's not many mid 90s f-bodies still around in there. Makes me almost consider an LT1/LS1 swap and screw original state. Although the LT1 can take more max pressure, and with tweaking can match a modified LS1. I'm not looking to make a monster or even a quarter car, just something with some balls.

I expect YGP to come in here and tell me how to restore my car like he did with my house. :dork:



With an LS1 in the picture I would drop the idea of keeping it original and be thinking boost booost boost!

Had a little fun today working on ways to get great driving footage, while recording the exhaust all while eliminating wind noise.

I worked out the wind noise issue, I just need to work on the clipping when on the throttle hard. I'll give it another run tomorrow, but this footage was too good to waste.

Enjoy and yes I was picking up a Prius battery.

Great thought :up:

Re: What is new in your little world?

>:( They are closing the 2G mobile network here on December 1 necessitating those with old mobile handsets to get new 3G compatible ones. Yes, my 2 handsets are old school. I just need to make/receive voice and send/receive the occasional text message.

I attended the shop yesterday at 10am to fire-up the new handset that arrived by courier the day before. The staff transferred the address book and set the new phone.

My problem is, I didn't check it worked before leaving the store. I get home and it isn't working (save emergency calls). I called and spoke to the same staff member from my landline and she tried to explain that it could take up to 24 hours for the new phone to activate :question: :question:

Can you believe that?



I setup and configure phones as part of my job for government officials and that line is complete horsehit. It takes about 15 minutes for our telcos to activate a sim that's been switched over....

That will be the deciding factor. If I do the swap there would be absolutely no point in keeping it original.

Thank you

Oddly enough in the world of getting free stuff, YouTube isn't all that, it helps but sadly Facebook and Instagram is where I get most of my sponsors from.

You ever watch Street Outlaws? There is a lot of love for the LS1 in that show.

How bad are the rims damaged? I have the tiniest imperfection on my rim from turning the wheel (while not moving) into a curb. It kills me every time I clean it mostly because it was my fault.

... and Thank you

Over the weekend, I hiked up to the highest point in Texas (Gaudalupe Peak). 3000ft climb





I also got to see Carlsbad Caverns. Absolutely amazing. It's impossible to describe this place. It's so unique, it almost seems artificial when you're walking around in it. Here's a pic, but it doesn't do it any justice. Just google for some professional pics. But just go see it if you get the chance...

Nice snaps xer0s :up:

I've taken to getting up some local mountain in the next weeks and before it gets too hot.


Re: What is new in your little world?

Santa came early for me and I scored the Lego Technic 42055, Bucket Wheel Excavator, the largest LEGO® Technic set to date! Should be heaps of fun :D

It is nice to secure it early because, in my experience, these big sets tend to sell very fast.

Nice view up there :up: Is that 3000ft elevation gain, or 3000ft above sea level?

Took my brother, his gf, and his friends, to Krabi. It sucked. Would not go back. I think I've given up on traveling in Thailand. Philippines is much better for water/beaches/diving.

Just got back from 5 weeks of Thailand and while i wouldn't say it sucked per se i share your sentiments. Probably won't be going back there anytime soon...

Don't know about your Amsterdam trip seeing as bachelor parties can either suck or not depending on the people, but Berlin should be amazing :up:

Me, trying to get a replacement remote for my antique TF7000HDPVRt.

I do have a later model (replacement) but I now figure to be using the old machine occasionally.

I just have high standards. There are always tourists in Thailand, everywhere you go. The beaches really aren't that nice by SE Asia standards. If you want beaches, go to the Philippines. If you want diving, go Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia. Bangkok and Chiang Mai are still great cities, but the other parts just aren't worth going to. Go to the Philippines instead.
