At the rate of destruction he leaves in his wake, Hoovie will make all surviving cars more collectible.

Re: Why are our engines so expensive?

The old SBC is a simpler design. Every part is easier and cheaper to make and there are far fewer parts as a whole. Assembly is also easier. The LS is more costly but a huge leap forward. It’s way cheaper than a flat six though. I’m seriously considering selling my 91 ZR-1 to get an 02-04 Z06 to abu...

Re: Car Smogging Clusterf*ck...

That's liberal bull shit cluster fuck for you. Keep voting D, and you will be taking D up yours. You got hordes of homeless zombies on the street, but hey... We need that smog testing done and more stringent laws passed. I need to petition Trump to also build the wall in AZ's west border to keep th...

Re: Got the oh so fun CEL

Finally got enough miles on the car that all the readiness codes were green. Car is now inspected so tomorrow I can go to the tax office and get my TX PCA plates. I will try and get an installed photo to update the thread. The cars are great. Now I need mufflers.

Re: Got the oh so fun CEL

And in added news one of my mufflers is splitting my open at the seam. Good thing I wanted to swap them out this winter. No fister mod for my bustedvass mufflers. I think I want the FVD ones based on all the sound clips I’ve heard. Headers? Maybe. They are okay but my muffler hangers are pretty rust...

Re: Got the oh so fun CEL

Check out that your old hardware. Got new stainless hardware today. Everything going back together okay. The original O2 sensor wiring routing needs help. The two post cat sensors are further away. There is enough length in the factory harness but you need to pull the airbox and fiddle with it. I’m ...

Re: Got the oh so fun CEL

Yes on PB blaster. It makes nice rust puddles on my garage floor with these bolts. Yes on 6 or sockets which still round them off. I will finish the install and take some photos this weekend. The bolts I’m removing look like someone submerged steel in salt water before Porsche existed.

Re: Got the oh so fun CEL

Well it’s been too damn hot in TX to work on cars. Too hot! We are also selling our house, building new and moving. That is a royal pain. So anyway tonight it’s finally in the high 80s after dark so I head out to start removal. I actually tried to remove some bolts Saturday morning but the rusty suc...

Re: HOOVIE is at is again.... More on the LS Swap

I think he is just such an asshat. That car, however, deserved far better. The only video I want to see involving that piece of garbage is someone parking Apollo halfway up his ass. Can I ban people for posting his videos? Is that too jackbooted? I got a lot of resistance for similar sentiments on ...
