Default car in the shop

just thought i would update you all on the bird.

its currently sitting in the shop getting worked on. I gave the guys a whole list of things to do which include

Spec 3+ clutch and flywheel install
master and slave cyl install
header gasket replacement
Fuel pump install
dana s60 rear end install (4.10 gears)
nitrous tune @ WOT
full drivability/economy tune >WOT

the install and tune alone are going to cost me over 1k....... already bought all the other parts. its shaping up to be an expensive year lol.

Have you noticed the connection between the amount of modifications/money you put in the car, and the size of your grin when the right foot goes down?[8D]

You're daring spec, I would never let someone touch my child, unless I was standing there. That thing is going to be a rocket when you get done. Am I reading that you're putting in a dana 60 rear differential? Any reason why you went with that over the ford 9"?

yeah, i didnt let anyone drive my camaro when i got it. This kid from school asked if he could take it around the parking lot and i said no so he wanted to sit in it and rev it so i said no again but i said ill drive him around and ill rev it. I didnt even let my gf drive it and she never let that go... especially since its gone..

the shop im using has a connection with strange, so its cheaper this way for me. also, the s60 gear is a hellova lot beefier than the 9". If 9"s are bulletproof, s60s are chuck norris proof
