Re: What will you be doing to your FI Camaro over the winter?

Speaking of coaters, I was over to visit Jason Short last night (and buy some beautiful black leather Fbody seats from him too) and he said there's a premier exhaust coater right near me. That makes it handy! Next trip here, I'll bring my new hotside and drop it off to them.

I've had a Walbro 255lph pump for about 2 years, never installed it. But now I see the Aeromotive 340lph, I'm going to buy that.

I was able to do a little more tuning on my SD 2 bar tune. The car really likes the tune and in this cool air, she's running fantastic.

My car destroys those things if I forget to open them

I think you need a meth nozzle for your cutout.

I'd quote Larry the Cable Guy but I'm afraid of trademark infringement law suits.

Fans came in today. They even broke them to save me the trouble of having to do it myself.

I don't think it was the shipper (as much as I hate UPS). The box wasn't messed up at all. I think Derale shipped them out like that. Either way they're sending me a new fan.

Ah.. that's good.

BTW- Installed new leather seats today. Bought them from Jason Short. They're not 'brand new' but you could never tell by looking at them that they're not. Black leather power seats from a '96 or '97. Not a scratch or wrinkle on them.
