Thought about how great it would be if it was running.

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Mon May 28, 2012 11:19 am

Found out I get 22 mpg with a tank of auto-x and hitting boost everytime the car moves forward.

I am actually half curious what kind of mileage I would get if I stayed out of boost and just drove like a normal person. Maybe 28ish?

I dont think I am patient enough to not get into it from time to time though.

Solution: I think I'll have my mom or dad drive it for a week!

Thanks for the input, confirms my (awesome) suspicions!

What kind of driving does that include? I am just curious.

Still chopping up my engine harness. Another soldering iron not working worth a crap halfway through the job - I need to pick up some better equipment.

I noticed nobody on here ever mentioned LS2 truck coils for the SR. I'm going to get some parts together and give them a try.

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:48 pm

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention LQ9 coils for the SR...

Body is in good shape, picked it up cheap with a blown HG. It's a bone stock 92 'vert - Even has a trailer hitch.

^ Nice find, what are your plans?

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Mon Jun 11, 2012 5:21 pm

That's my old vert

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Mon Jun 11, 2012 5:30 pm

Was a one owner car, titled at 90 miles to the owner of toys for trucks here in GB. JC, are you trevor?

No plans aside from fixing the HG and enjoying it. It does need some minor rust repair.

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Mon Jun 11, 2012 5:54 pm

No my name is Robbie.. Mine had the exact paint chips in the front. The guy who bought it from me lived up in the green bay area.. Maybe a little west. Had a mint interior. I bought it for the old lady to drive. Funny, mine was a one owner when I bought it also. Looks nice! Congrats!

Is there some rear quarter work done on the driver side?

Subject: Re: What did you do to your car today? Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:40 pm

It needs some rust repair there. There are a few minor spots of rust, but the worst is the driver's rear fender. The floor and trunk are rust free through.
