Vegas - I am a GTR fan all the way! Cost is definitely a huge factor though. The superintendent I work with just bought a brand new '08 C6 for $42k. I am just not a V8 guy myself. I need boost! I suppose you can do the turbo thing on the vette...I just think there are waaaayyy too many out there. That's one of the reasons I love the Evo - there really are not too many in the area.

 

speaking of which - i must have seen 6 vettes in one day on 495. but not one evo.

 

it must be nice to have to decide between a vette and a gtr............i'm turning in cans to put gas in my tank........................

 

dave i think the macbook pro is the way to go especially if you are going to use it mainly for graphics but i think a 15" will be sufficient. Unless you are in school i would definitely NOT want the 13" screen, way to small imo. But then again, that is what she said.

 

yeah...that's one of the areas where i disagree that bigger is better....

a laptop should be portable and tiny...

I already have a 15" weiner (around), what do I need a 15" lappy for?

:-) Still deciding...

 

don't you have a kid you can sell or something?

 

I hear ya, the v8 thing is ok, its the v8 boosted that gets my attention.

true, but how many had twin 35r's on them??

I have a few cans I can bring over next time I visit

sick bastard

 

So, last night switched from comcast (sucks) to verizon fios...and I now get the BBC channel, so last night,4 episodes in a row of TOP GEAR!

 

FiOS, FTW!!

 

ok, so i'm going to order my 30K fluids from Bill (pm me price please)...anything I should know prior, do you guys have any extra fluid from when you all did yours?

 

What channel is it??

 

169 on mine IIRC

 

OK, it is probably the same on mine. Thanks!

 

The trans takes 3 Qts and the front / rear diffs each take essentially 0.6 quarts. We did have extra left over from our purchase...i can check to see how much when I get home.

You'll want a measuring funnel with a shut off valve for the transmission fluid.... you fill it up, 1 quart at a time, and then open up the valve to drain the funnel, through a tube, right into the tranny. Simple stuff.

You'll want a tube-style fluid pump for the diff fluid. This looks like a caulk- or grease- gun but works much like an old-school water gun... you dip the hose-end into the diaqueen and suck some up...then you can put the hose end into the differential and pump it in until it comes back out the fill-hole.

You need the car to be level for this operation...you can verify that it's evenly raised up by placing a level on the frame rail... for my car we had the front on ramps and the back on a jack...or all the other cars we pull all 4 wheels on ramps...both methods worked fine.... 4 ramps was much easier.


All in all, it's an easy operation...just make sure the aluminum washers stay on teh drain/fill plugs and don't fall into your fluid catch pan...
