That looks really, really good. Here's a dumb question.. are there any potential negative effects from the spacers on wheel bearings or anything?

That's awesome.. Jeffco County Sheriff will have at least two vette idiots with loud cars to hassle! hahah

Golden is pretty nice. I would have liked to have been a little Northwest of Golden, towards Golden Canyon, but it is pricing into the stratosphere up there. And it's in Jeffco.. which is no bueno. It really worked out in the end, anyway. I'll build a new shop this year and fix the things I...

I got screamed at by an old man in Evergreen when I lived up there a few years ago.. I had a harley at the time and it was super quiet! and he melted down cause it was loud and i was in his way. I kindly explained that he was old and going to die soon.. so he should try not to get so angry...

Not only that, I won't be subject to the metro area emissions testing. That's really the reason why I chose Park county.. Oh.. and home prices were actually in the affordable range vs in the stratosphere.

MF'er! Summit Racing sent me the super competition baffles not the maxflows. I think I'm going to order the STS ones anyway so this was oddly fortuitous.

I mostly wanted to quiet down the popping on decel when I let out of the throttle. I was coming down the hill to my house and scared the living shit out of the neighbor's great dane.. which was funny, but not very nice. I'll try them as they are.. and will probably get bored and pull them...

I ordered the maxflows. It doesn't have to be whisper quiet... but it needed something to take the edge off.

I also swapped off the Holley 770 ultra street avenger that my engine came with for a demon 750. The street avenger just didn't want to work right on this car.. and the demon was damn near perfect right out of the box. I set the transition slots like the manual said, verified there was no slop...

That definitely is a problem.. It's also packed full of internet trolls which get annoying after a while. Oh well, it's all fixed now. Maybe I'll make a squirrel catapult out of that trw spring.. that seems like a good use for it.

I'll be working in Denver and living in Bailey. I just can't wait to get the move over with.. it's such a pain in the ass and the moving company looked in my shop and laughed at me so that means I get to move all the fun stuff. And no.. didn't know about that spring. That's what I get for...

I am glad I don't get paid piece work cause I am slower than molasses in january. I finally heard my car run again today.. first time since mid-may. I have completed the t56 install, added the rebuilt 4.11 rear end.. swapped the rear spring.. which... So. Don't buy the TRW spring composite...

After determining that I had an air leak in the hose between the master cylinder reservoir and the master cylinder, I was able to successfully bleed the clutch and verify that it's working. I had to use a pressure bleeder to get all the air out of that throw out bearing, but that wasn't too big...

I have a Mcleod 1400-30 hydraulic throw out bearing and I'm using the master cylinder out of an '85 chevy 1 ton truck. I also have a wilwood 5/8 master cylinder that I was going to use but it was too big to fit under there with the vacuum booster and the borgeson power steering box conversion...

Man, it's been forever since I had a chance to even work on my car. I ended up smoking the Saginaw hooning it at the Lone Star Corvette Classic back in May, and then the Texas summer set in and it was too damn hot for me to want to go out and work in the shop. That's my excuse, anyway.. so...
