yall are gonna crap yourself on this one.. one of my buddies wives works for a pet store around here.. the owner was always askin what i could do to his viper to get some more pony's out of it.. today he threw me the keys and gave me his credit card and said have at it.. right now he just wants an exhuast, intake and tune.. if he isnt happy with the power that makes then he wants to throw some boost at it.. nothing like rockin a 90,000 dollar car to drive around.. he dont care what i do to it as long as its faster when he gets it back and it dont matter how long it takes cause he has litterally put 100 miles on it since it was last inspected..

i got all the parts today.. corsa dual exhuast, carbon fiber k&n ram air intake and some engine dress up peices.. i took the one sideskirt off today to take it to my body guy.. he wants me to get it fixed while i have it off.. i dunno exactly what happened but it looks like he had a run in with a curb or parking block.. you cant even see it cause its on the belly of the car but he knows its there and it bugs him.. lol.. tomorrow i think im gonna get crackin on the exhuast and all.. i played with a bike i picked up today cause it was humid out and its not fun at the shop on them days..
here is the bike i picked up for 500 bucks.. 88 gsx 600 F or otherwise known as a katana.. it needs a throttle cable and thats on order.. for now i have it rigged up with a suicide throttle.. lol..
custom seat cover.. use to be a shirt but the prior owner desided it was a good idea to spraypaint the seat black and it comes off on your pants i found out..
poser shots of me and the kids on it..

well, I guess if you can have a car like that, and it is strictly a toy, then 4k is probably a drop in the bucket...LOL

well another c10 has come and gone.. tomorrow johnson technical school is getting my 74 c10 as a donation thanks to the township once agian.. they came knockin on my door again for having an unregistered vehicle in my driveway... i cant take it down the shop because i already have my red truck down there and 3 other vehicles im workin on and my limit is 4 at a time and because i dont pay rent im not gonna complain and i have no room at the storage yard eather becuase its filled with my buddies boats, and jetskies, future cars im gonna be workin on, cars i am donating to the school and my buddies constuction equipment and they all pay me to keep there stuff locked up so im not gonna pain to them so my i talked to my a freinds dad and he said for every car i bring up there tite or not no matter what the condition i get a 1000 dollar tax writeoff. this past wednesday i brought up 5 cars and truck and i still have 3 more.. me and the my partner in the shop are spliting the money because its his dad and we both could benifit from it.. we bought 5 clunkers from the local yards for the school.. they were a fox body mustange, late 90s stratus, 92 saturn, 95 chevy truck, late 80s nissan pickup and we already have my 74 c10, a mid 90s neon, and a mid 80s yota at the yard.. we are also leaving a 10k pound equipment trailer up there so next trip we make up there we can pick up a 31 model T he has that we are putting the 5.3 Ls based motor that i bought for the 74.. we have another 12k pound trailer that can fit 2 cars so we are putting the yota and neon up there probley tuesday or wednesday depending on what we blow out now that he is laid off and all and i think bringing down the model T.. i was just gonna chop up the c10 and make a trailer out of it anyways but i wasnt ready for it yet so there is always the next one plus getting the title was starting to get on my last nerve.. ill probley just get a good bed from the yard and buy new front fenders and get a boat trailer or something to make my tailgating camper trailer someday when im done the LS1 swap in the 85..
right now that project is on hold till i get all my mounts and other odds and ends in.. i am figuring by the end of the month ill have the LS1 all setup and in the truck and i should have the body work and all done by then as well.. im probley pulling the cab off to do the floor and rockers because i also found out the front cab mounts are going and that means the back ones are probley gone already.. it will be so much easier this time around with the lift and all.. lol..

Wow A $1000 riteoff for every vehicle... Nice.. That's crazy that your limited on how many unregistered (untitled) vehicles your allowed in your yard Personally I think as long as there not on the road. that's all they have to be concerned with

i just ordered a new tuner for my laptop.. its called efi live and now i wont have 5 differnt tuners that i have to relearn everytime i use them.. lol.. hopefully it works as good as all the ls1 guys rave because thats what i ordered it for mostly.. the LS program i had before didnt let me take out the stock security system and it didnt have all the parameters i needed to see so this one has all that plus i can get into alot more GM cars and trucks ecu's with just the one program.. its a little pricey at close to 700 bucks but it will pay for itself with just 3 cars.. its still a seat of the pants tuner but i can also take the car to a dyno a do my thing but i gotta give the owner 100 bucks.. here is the website with all the product info..
