The only thing on this car that will be stock in the end is the body and most of the interior aside from gauges and seats. LS1 with a 6 speed, all the suspension upgrades, eventually C5 vette brakes, stronger rear end and then eventually some form of forced induction... Keeping the appearance...

I don't have cable or satellite. The only thing I make time to watch is supercross. There are some sites that stream and there are a couple guys that always have a good stream. justintv or ustream. Can even watch snocross on one of the channels which is nice. No idea why we can't just pick and...

I get revved at so much by these guys when I'm in my 87 trans am... Unfortunately it still has the original 305, but that's changing in the next couple months :cool:

There are some smart people on here, figured someone knows a really good trick for cleaning aluminum. I picked up a used LS1 to swap in to my trans am. Obviously the car the engine was in was driven in the winter, heavy oxidation to the block and accessory brackets. I'm wet sanding some parts...

Had one of those when I was about 16... Never realized how heavy that thing was until I had it baried to the bars in wet/heavy snow in a ditch. First sled was an 81 skidoo 277 citation... That thing taught me lots about repairs. Then had a 1990 polaris Indy 650. Then the arctic cat for a...

People ARE stupid enough to smoke in the car with kids. I see it every once in a while... Heck, my mom who is an RN did it when I was a kid until she smartened up about it. The standard for drivers is horrible. Of all the cars I've seen in the ditch this season(or nearly in it), every single...

We have multiple people on one account, everyone pays $10 a month due to the group discount. Love sirius. On my way to the track I usually have about an hour with no reception other than CBC or a french station.

I was minorly rear ended on the 401 (traffic did the 120-0 in an instant thing). Guy behind me couldn't get stopped in time. Got out, had a look and told him to follow me up the next exit so nobody else would get hit. People lose all sense when even minor things like that happen. He was shaking...

I keep my truck in 2wd. 4wd is for getting myself unstuck, or when I need to accelerate hard out of a slick spot in the winter, then I put it back in to 2wd. Plus it's not awesome for your truck to be doing 100+ with the 4wd locked in if it wasn't designed for that. Limited slip rear end is...

People live outside of the GTA. I'm about 4 or 5 hours from the GTA. I have no interest in that area of the province. At 30, I've been on public transit in the GTA 3 times. For me, if I want to go out and get something from a store that isnt the basics, I have to get in my truck and drive over...

That's what I found having some pretty wide tires on that were snow rated, my real winter tires were narrower on that truck. Instead of just floating on the snow with the larger contact patch, I was able to bite in.

At least you had a nail gun lol. It wasn't deemed a necessary tool. Same thing as the dishwasher, was pointless since I was the dishwasher. Wasn't a year after I left there was a dishwasher in the kitchen lol. Glad I grew up renovating, we built a large garage and wired it, had a job as a...

I flashed an unmarked cop car after passing a speed trap. I got pulled over, when asked why I flashed my lights, I told him, he laughed and sent me on my way. (was a grey winter day approx 4 or 5 pm, couldn't tell what car was approaching). Everyone should flash to warn. I'm just not sure if a...

We had one of those bikes when I was in my early teens... Was a lot of fun and I wasn't very nice to it. Very reliable, quiet, and just right to get someone started on.

Why does it cost you to swap wheels out twice a year? Be a man, get out a jack and spend 30 minutes in the driveway. What car do you own that you can't find steel wheels for? I had to buy aluminum wheels for my last truck for winter tires, but that's because that truck was far from stock and I...

It's the people like that who are the ones that end up in the ditch. I have winter tires on, does that mean I'm a bad driver or unsure of my abilities? Means I understand how things work, and that I care about being safe on the roads. I like having the ability to out stop, and out maneuver all...

You're right there... But those risks are the ones I'm more willing to take. I've seen enough injuries at the track and have had a few myself to know it isn't 100% safe. I had a bad enough incident last year it took me out for the season. Had a buddy rip his intestines out on a foot peg. Broken...

Pretty amazing. That diver was shocked when that hand grabbed his! Can't imagine being that guy, 100% certain that you are done and then you see a light in the water getting brighter and brighter.

I would rather take my chances ripping through the trees over cautiously doing 50 through a busy intersection. Trees don't make stupid judgement calls and pull out in front of you. If you ride to have fun and don't overly push yourself it's perfectly safe. It's when you start pushing yourself...

My uncle is throwing a 4BT in to a 78(ish) Cherokee. Gonna be a fun project!
