I demand the blue car! Let me know if you need some help with anything.....
Two days left....
Oh, I'll call ya for sure. Thanks Paul

Stop at the hardware store on the way and spend $.085 and get some. I'll help fix the lip, but I am not gonna buy you the parts to do so.
I didn't know if anybody had any extra parts laying around in their toolboxes. I'm not even sure exactly what I need but I'll just have to see.
The acutal GM part that hold them on is a little metal clip that "SNAPS" into place.
Tell ya what, I'll bring some of the same screws I had whne I had to fasten my lip to my bumper back in the day. Deal?

Deal, the tabs on the lip are broken so that'll have to be the only way! I appreciate it!

Drove me car last night!! LOVE IT!
The intake is the ONLY part left to install/fab up.
After that, today after work I'm goind to install my front bumper and detail my engine bay a little bit.
See ya guys Saturday!
I don't think I'll be coming up this year
The Cavy needs an alternator I think. Something is squeeking and that's gotta be it. However it still charges the battery quite well. I'd rather not risk driving it up.
I could take the GTP again and donate that 8psi of boost. However, it seems to have an intake gasket or something, and it spraying coolant (i think) out onto the exhaust when it's boosting. So that needs fixed, and I'd rather not have it overheat on me (though I don't think it will).
But if someone up there has a set of 17's (nothing super nice) with a 5x115 bolt pattern and a 38-42mm offset for a good price I might just re-consider.
Sure I told a couple people, and who the @!#$ cares, but I won't be making it this year either.
You guys have a blast.

LOL, it's looking like I might not make it either. (Transmission in the Cav is still not done)
Nobody wants to see our bucket-assed Sunfire's anyways...lol

I think you should bring the GTP and we can wrench on it sunday and do the new LIM gaskets then, parts shouldn't be hard to find unless you want the aluminum LIM gaskets, then it is only available in Grand Rapids.....
I appreciate the offer, but I have to work on sunday night
The other thing is that I was planning on going ahead and changing the head gaskets too. I figure, since i'm planning on changing every other gasket on the top end, that I might as well go ahead and do the HG's as well. Which probably should involve taking the heads to get resurfaced. As much as i'm contemplating the consequences of not resurfacing them. I'm pretty sure the gaskets aren't blown, but with the cooling system being messed up anyways due to other gaskets (and it has previously overheated due to the stupid plastic elbow below the s/c). That and i'm not exactly sure if iron heads are as bad about warping as aluminum heads (i'm guessing not). I'll also need new head bolts.
On the bright side, I do already have the alum. intake gaskets from ZZP, the UPS man dropped them off the other day. That and a nylon coupler and a bottle of s/c oil.
My work schedule is weird, I work sun-wed. So that at least gives me those couple of days at the end of the week to take the heads in.
nevermind. thought it was sunday.

i'm sorry i had to jet out early! My girls' sister decided it would be cool to get in another accident with her dad's new TL. Their parents are out of town so we had to come to the rescue. if it was my choice though, I would have stayed the entire day!
I had uber fun though! I can't wait for the next one!
