I'm planning on taking the Mothers Power Ball to the Canton tanks for a mirror finish. No clear, will just have to polish them every once in a while.
+1 on the blingage!

Key mod all done

Total cost: $44

Went to Lowe's and they cut my key no charge

Now if I could only get around to modding that antenna

I'm getting jealous of these keys..... hum.... may have to get me one (or two LOL).

EDIT: did I miss the part where it can't be used on an '06?

No charge? Got the hook up at Lowe's, huh?

How short you want the antenna? I can mod my original (practically brand new) one to the length you want and just switch with you.

Yah, I have the hook-ups at Lowe's

Not because of my race either

Actually, it was a random hook-up. When I asked him where I should pay he pondered for a second and just said, "On the house."

Bill - I would be very grateful. I was looking at 14" Seems like that would line up with the roof pretty nice

Brian - The key only works for 07's-08's.

S/C UPDATE: ... Its in! S/C is at his shop . And it has been for the past week he just didn't call me... . Anyways we measured the silicon hoses I'm get some qoutes from Paxton and a few other places to find the best deal. Didn't see the actual blower everythign was in a box. Only saw the aftercooler wrapped in plastic. I'm so stoked right now!!! Only bad news is I have to wait more. He wont be caught up till end of March. I'm due the first week of April. Well atleast I know when I go in for an install assuming all goes well.

I'm already ruined.. will be buying more stuff later today.
Your telling me... If I sit on here I spend money because I read of all the mods I dont need but want. I mean thats what happened with this supercharger. Saw Tom's post way back when. Sparked some serious interest. I had to walk away and calm down. Talk to the shop owner about s/c's he re excited me... I got an amazing finance offer...

And here I am. On my way to be blown a full year before planned if even. Actually to be honest I said i was going to supercharge but had no real intention. Haha

We're having flood waters around here, with weather turning cold and possibly SNOW this weekend. WTH, it's almost April!?!

I know its horrible down here. Its ok I'm a little burnt from the perfect weekend we had down here. Mid 70's with a clear sky and a cool breeze can be tiring. A good rain never hurt anyone. Haha

I'm really digging the new mod's Bill! Functional bling I think you're going to have a hard time giving this car up to Chris when the time comes.

I have the C&L racer installed but still waiting on the sct

Forgot I do have one question. Those who have a boost gauge installed; do you have mechanical or electrical boost gauges. He said he wont install mech. gauges because there dated.

Whats your take? Just go for all electrical and pay the extra for it or stick with a mech boost gauge? He just seems pretty set on electrical.

Believe me guys, I'd love the warmer weather year 'round.

JonCo, you're getting closer! Make sure your installer stays on track and gets you done that first week of April.
