Thread: Gtx has a turbo!! lol

the dogs way better looking then the camaro lol

he looks like hes gonna have a football for a head, love a block headed dog lol

Dog definitely wins over camaro lol, going to bring him every where I got he will be my junk yard dog haha.

wait till hes got his shots, parvo is a real killer. if they catch it they die, theres nothing they can do to save him. hell you can walk it in the house on your shoes and pass it on to them, its rare, but happens.

and taking them everywhere is actually really good for the dog, its good to socialize them as much as possible. the more stuff and people they get to see and check out and experience the more rounded they become. aka a cool ass dog.

and crate training is a must if you need to leave him home a lone. this not only keeps your house in one piece, but keeps the dog from eating god knows what and killing himself or costing you like 2 grand for surgery.

ps: crate training sucks balls big time for about 2 weeks, lots of crying goes on, ( by the dog) and it can go on for a while, you just need to cover the crate and ignore it. they fall a sleep sooner or later.

Yeah hes getting his shots next week hes a awesome little ****, but yep I have ordered the last few parts I need from online, I also am getting the pump and pump shaft for the transmission that should be going in this week and next payday I can get the tune and converter and be all done. Maybe by then someone will pick up the gen v and I can get headers. Got delayed another pay check because of the pump but at least im getting almost done with my car.

I got my rocker bolts through summit for around $20

Not to mention you don't need a 160 tstat. Get a 180 if anything.

Dsmuts did it come with valve cover gaskets?
And I thought about it but wouldn't it be better to run a cooler tstat if I drop my pulley down?

Not that low... And no they do not come with vc gaskets that a completely different part.

Nope didn't come with vc gaskets

Yeah I only got that one because it has both bolts and gasket, but yeah payment got messed up so going with the 180 drilled.

Just pick up a 180 from the local parts store

Don't get a drilled one

Just as a tip if anyone has a drilled t-stat and doesnt want it drilled anymore, get a nail that the head doesn't go through the hole, clean it from any oil, and put it through and the head flush to the t-stat. Make sure it can stay there and get hot, I used the "helping hands" alligator clip base. Use a soldering iron and get a blob of solder to stick to the nail all the way around right at the thermostat. Once it's cooled, cut the excess part of the nail and it's permanently sealed.

Yeah im going to put a pizza in right now and re order it

Why isn't your car together yet. Come on man

its only been about 5 months

Set backs and other things come up, I really want to get everything for the cam build before the motor goes back in and then the one guy set me back a little with the fake cam.
