Well, I signed up, contributing the maximum 6% that I can be matched by the company on. Here's hoping the economy goes in a positive direction and this investment is meaningful in the long run. :)

It's been 19 hours since you posted that... clock's ticking. :p

Yeah, I kinda did the budget after looking into the CCW and the tires to fit, not the other way around. NOT looking forward to spending all that, but no sense in going this far and then not finishing the car right...

This was approximately as close to factory specs that they could get my car when I had it aligned (damned frozen adjuster bolts in the rear...), I have the sheet showing the before/after on my setup at home, but I never noticed any abnormal tire wear on the tires I had. Granted, they had a...

# Size: 18x8----------Little skinny for our cars... # Pattern: 5x100-----Wrong lug pattern # Offset: +48mm-----Would be rather sunk in... # Hub Bore: 56.1mm-Wouldn't even fit on your hub. # Weight: 23 lbs-----Are these made of iron? I'd pass, for all the reasons above. :)

Most likely filled in the hole if there was one. My Regulus has a hole for the antenna, that is definitely getting filled, on account of my listening to the radio for about 5 minutes a year...

Maybe. Explains why I haven't washed my car in as long as it's been... then again, so do the dirt covered roads and slush/snow/mud all over the place. Keeping a car clean here is like trying not to catch an STD at a swingers party these days... :nono:

I don't think Nick was being sarcastic there man. They're a good motor, and I've always liked them (T56 trans are nice too), BUT... GM stuck them in some crappy cars, quality-wise. That's why I will always support an LS swap into a better car. Best of both worlds if you ask me... If you haven't...

I miss living down there. Too bad I don't miss the uncertainty of the job market... There are actually roads that are nice enough (and out of the way enough) that you're actually not going to hurt anyone having a quick pull or two. So, anyone have a good recommendation for a camera with good...

Didn't care for the pistol grip JJ? Nice to hear about some long term reliability for sure.

Yeah, I've looked into it. I've budgeted $3500 for wheels and tires overall. Is that $3000 for a pair, or an entire set for the SSR? I've got my heart set on 17" though, I like traction more than bling, plus tires tend to be cheaper. I may regret that decision if they phase out 17's in 10 years...

Those aren't the kind of people you want buying your car anyway. :p I've only had a few people ask if I wanted to sell my car, they usually don't ask again if you tell them all you've had to go through to get it to where it is now...

I ran about 2° rear camber on my NA, and around 1° front camber, the car handled great, but I wouldn't have expected to put down any meaningful power with that setup either...

Your drivetrain will be fine for the power. Clutch is transmission specific, not engine specific. You'll need to find one that will suit an LS' flywheel though. My best advice would be to look up a thread by Syst as well, he swapped an LS6 into his with some pretty good success IIRC.

In a really big sack.

You know, I have had some pretty dumb ideas myself before (intercooler sprayer using water/methanol mix? Sure why not?), but I tend to research a bit as to WHY nobody has something like it on the market first. :p

You know, the more you guys point out about this thing, the more I feel like an idiot for not being able to understand it better in the first place. The company I work for (Bishop Lifting, if anyone needs some pretty serious rigging built up), allows me to borrow against my account. Wouldn't...

See, it would be nice if they simplified the x% of y% that you contribute, and z% of every r% that you contribute after that... and just tell me that they'll contribute up to 3.5% if I stick 6% in. Thanks for clearing that up, I kinda had a handle on it, but that helped out. They won't...

Haha, seems like I might be the only one who caught that... Oh well, another one of me: I was lighting stuff on fire. Love my job some days. :D

See, this is what I love about this forum, there is enough of an experience factor for big decisions like this. Our company's plan is handled through The Hartford, anyone have good things to say about them? Personally I've always been frustrated at concepts like this, so much of our economy is...
