In case you all are wondering what I did at work today...this is what I did...for 3 hours...and I'm still not done, I have about another 2 hours of work...
Peeling the tint off the windows at work, and it doesn't come off at once, you need a razor and it still comes off in tiny pieces
Oh well, a bad day at the dealership is better than any day at Culvers lol

I put the bigger one on the top of my windshield but I have the fender ones too now and they are waiting on a good looking paint job before they go on the fenders.
I am just honored that somebody else would like them enough to put them on their car and seeing them on Popo's car made me proud.

I have gotten a lot more props on the car since it went on too :)
The design was inspired by the big block fender emblems that came on the SS Impala, SS Camaro ect eg 396-turbojet not so much the Corvette emblems because I wanted them to go on the fenders like Popo did his.

heat gun... razor blade....laqur thiner ...glass cleaner.
Heat the tint...the longer its been there and the cheaper the quality the less this will help...
Get it all off.....soak glue in laqur with a soaked rag.
While gooey...use fresh razor blade like a lawn mower. make smooth steady passes from one side to another... do not draw blade back wards...
it will just make a mess.
repeat till clean...use glass cleaner like usual.

It was my favorite of the designs ...so i has samples made...and now have a batch. I am also having samples made of others from the contest. When I have them all I will post them all up for sale. the one that sells out first will be the ONE of the NEW emblems that stays in productio .

TBH I'm not sure yet, I need to buy a new battery for it lol. But the loop at the bottom of the key fob where you put your keychain on is broken off, so she can't really take it with her for fear of losing it. Just need the plastic housing to replace it I believe. The guts inside should work when I put a new battery in it (hopefully haha).

i figured the LT was already down to long block and needed a new water pump And opti ( slight miss at idle) and I could probably get more money with the new forged LS swap so I decided just finish it. But the girl came out in the garage last night with our little one and make som comments that sounds like this car won't be going any where, she just wants the Formula gone before we get a vette which she likes C6's.

If you're putting this on a stock cube engine, you don't need the bigger throttle body. A 350 cubic inch engine at 7k rpm only ingests 600 cfm tops (if you want to play theoretical, 100 percent volumetrically efficient, a 7k 350 pulls 709 cfm), and the stock throttle body has been tested capable of moving roughly 800 cfm with the airfoil. You need a lot of RPM, huge cubes or boost to max out the stocker on airflow.
Don't get caught up in the bigger is better school of thought, you'll only get frustrated!

If you're putting this on a stock cube engine, you don't need the bigger throttle body. A 350 cubic inch engine at 7k rpm only ingests 600 cfm tops (if you want to play theoretical, 100 percent volumetrically efficient, a 7k 350 pulls 709 cfm), and the stock throttle body has been tested capable of moving roughly 800 cfm with the airfoil. You need a lot of RPM, huge cubes or boost to max out the stocker on airflow.
Don't get caught up in the bigger is better school of thought, you'll only get frustrated!right. That's why I don't want to buy the cam that is advertised as "biggest cam recommended for 350 ci displacement, and makes great power in 383 ci setups" I want a good middle ground, not too big, but big enough to sound aggressive and have some fun lol

Are you trying to get us to tell you you need a bigger throttlebody?
I would say no. You still have at least 200 cfm to go on the stocker, assuming you are spinning to 7k. If you are spraying enough to need an upgraded anything on the manifold or throttle body, then you are building a new engine to handle it. Also, while a poweradder, nitrous is not technically forced induction, since all you are doing is displacing regular air with more oxygenated air (and the necessary fuel to maintain your A/F ratio). Which means that your cfm is pretty much unaffected as you are not pressurizing anything.
You are either going to buy the thing or not, but you don't need it, and on a stock short block, you may wind up hurting yourself when you lose velocity due to being able to move a greater volume of air at a lower air speed.

Even if you build a 383, you'll still be hard pressed to max out the throttle body for cfm. You'd be spinning well above 7k with a 383 to approach the limit of the stock throttle body

I just can't figure out why all of a sudden it ate through them like this. I've run these tires at the drag strip both times I've gone and at the track when I went to the road course event. The tires looked fine after all of that and I was rotating them after the drag strip and such. Not too long ago, I replaced the worn out outer tie rod ends and have just been daily driving it and now I find this... And unfortunately I'm strapped for cash bad right now and am looking at replacing 2 tires that will not be covered under warranty from Discount Tire + a front end alignment. :( Guess I'll be driving the beater car for a bit...
MeanTA
04-29-2013, 09:41 AM
probably the combination of tie rods being changed. And not set right(just a fraction off and it will do things)
And the autox more the likely messed with the front end. May not seem like it but it beats on the front end. I check and adjust mine few times a year. Because of the abuse the front end sees on track days.

I was pissed off from arguing with my wife about some stupid shit and decided to go outside and scrub my calipers clean to blow off some steam and found I was on the verge of 2 blowouts.

Going to tell you a story. (Don't judge me i was 19 dumb and broke)
I got a 1LE front sway for my 95 TA. And during install i lost 2 bolts for the sway bar bushing clam shell. So i went to a hardware store and picked up some cheap 10 cent bolts. And put them on.
About 3 months later. I was pushing my car around out on some back roads. And i was in a left hand curve doing about 50mph. And the bolts broke. The release of the torsion on the sway. Jerked my car like a mothafo. It felt like i got side swiped on my front end. I lost control. And the car went into a spin. I spun 1 1/2 times. Hit the road edge went airborne flying over the ditch. And did 2 more rotations in a field.
I got out of my car. lit a cigarette then threw up next to my car. Im not going to lie. Time slowed down during it. And felt like it took 5 minutes to come to a stop. And thought in my head "FUCK IM DEAD"

I personally am very excited about this new technology and hope it becomes more mainstream. Imagine this stuff on your roof shingles -- the water, snow, ice, etc just sliding magically off your roof. On car windshields - no more need for windshield wipers. On metal infrastructure - no more worries about rust.
Unfortunately right now it creats a dull/hazy finish to whatever you paint it on so while you could paint it onto our cars, it'd have a horrible finish with no reflection to it.

Ben f him. Dont let people like that influence you. If i love a car i dont care if it runs 10s or 35s just as long as i enjoy driving it. He is probably just jealous and butthurt his isnt as nice if he even has one.

You definetely have the skill level on me but my 240 is going to be set up right. That said im not saying it will be better than your ta lmao. You will have to come take it around birmingham or atlanta when its done. I figure 2800lbs, 17x7/17x9 setup, 500whp with a t56 or zf, a 3 link/watts link setup 9inch rear, and coilovers/swaybars/adj control arms etc etc should be pretty fun.

Well damn, I called GM's parts dept. and they don't sell just the plastic casing for a 94 C4 key fob. A new key fob will run me $190 through GM, or best I can find on ebay is $135. I was hoping to find someone selling just the housing, as I can reuse the internals in this one just fine without having to reprogram the car or anything... So if anyone knows anyone with a spare key fob they don't need, or a dead key fob that no longer works but the plastic case is fully in tact, please let me know!

Well radioshack had an exact match to the battery! For $7.89... But the remote works and so do the proximity locks! That's pretty badass! Lol
Now just gotta see about getting a non-broken case to house the internals.
Also got my car back
with new BFGoodrich g-force sport comp-2 tires on the back now. The toe was way outta whack... So $506 later, I'm good to go again. x.x

I actually need the whole assembly bc my sending unit it bad and also I don't think the plastic container that the fuel pump sits in will seal again and Larry who did you order through? I got mine through racetronix

Brian... I know a million people will tell u what works for them..but i wanna tell u, coming from a family of doctors i was easily able to try different allergy meds often till i found what worked for me. Ill make a few suggestions and u can do with it what u want bro.
First...if ur not scared of needles...there is an allergy shot that u can get twice a year...that works 99% . In the beginning of the season u get an injection (arm) and a prednisone taper...ull be golden for a minimum of 3 months. @ 3 months later u can ( if needed take another injection...no taper that time).
When i had other medical issues i could not do the shot...so i tried: otc benadryl (junk)
Ive tired zyrtec (it was ok)...claritin...charitin D (good results) BUT, The best was prescription allegra D. The 12 hour pills (that could be taken twice a day)..not the 24 hr pills.
It works so good i was upset when it went to otc from a script cause i would now have to buy it...lol
but that also means its available.to ANYONE.
meissen
if u trust me...give the shot a chance... ull like the results. lol

Thanks for the tips! I've been fighting allergies since I was in kindergarten so I've gone through a bunch of different tactics. I was doing allergy shots on a regular basis but it sounds like it's different than what you mention because I had to start out going once a week, then every other week, then once a month, etc. Now I take Zyrtec-D OTC 1x every day of the year, when allergies are worse I take it 2x a day.

When i was a kid.. i used to get two shots every two weeks. this is def different...and better.and if u want me to get u the name of the injection to discuss with ur doc...text me so i can save it as a TO-DO reminder.
As for the zyretec... i really would love for u to give the allegra a chance if u dont do the shots.
FWIW Im allergic to :Dogs, Cats, Mites, Mold, Grass, Trees, and many "sub" labled, more specific things.
Diagnosed at age 7.

I think I started out with Allegra first - then Claritin, and then Zyrtec? Allergies were kicking my ass this morning but was fine by 9am. I'm allergic to all the same stuff -- when I went for the allergy test they were writing 6s and 7s on a 1-5 scale for level of reaction :lol: They had to give me a shot to counteract the allergy test because I was welting up so bad
