Quick update on the car.

It's now insured and reg'd and ready to go! I've picked up some hub-centric rings for the Rota Sliptreams from Kyle at Spec-R, will be fitting those later today or tomorrow, along with an oil change that it so desperately needs. According to steveb0t, the oil in its is 2+ years old, and it's dino oil.

Talked to LilDrunkenSmurf at the meet on Tuesday, and he's informed me that previous owners diagnosed the oil burning as blow-by due to a ring lands issue. At least we've got a spare motor. Adam and I are planning on running it as is until something more catastrophic happens, because it still feels fairly strong, and we don't give a itshay. We'll probably run a bunch of Seafoam through it too for a fun times smoke show.

Mid-November, we're planning on putting her up on jack stands in the garage and making a list of exactly what we're going to maintain, replace, flush out, redo, retrofit, and cobble together. By Christmas, we should have a bunch of new parts to toss on the car. Stance Jesus here we come!

VE-TAK
I don't name things I know I'm going to sell eventually. Hence why I'd never name any kids I had.

Thanks Cole.

Sadly, the VE-TAK has already come off as it was only on the already flaky valve cover paint.

I can not haz Ve-TAK :(

no, they just add weight.  I will give you a royalty when they start holding body parts together.

He helped my look for TRUCK. Should've seen the one I almost bought, but finally walked away from.
If the sea was vodka, and I was a duck.

But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.

Haha I'd like to say that I never buy the same car twice...but I'd be lying.

I'm thinking more in the price range of a Cheve Sprint/Geo Metro, I may even splurge for the turbo!

Turbo Sunbird! How many others of these are you ever gonna see?

I mean, besides this one: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/calgary/1989-pontiac-sunbird-gt-coupe-convertible/1024379824?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
...and this one. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-other-auto-parts-and-accessories/calgary/1990-pontiac-sunbird-gt-turbo-whole-car-for-parts/1021555716?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

Okay, forget the turbo Sunbird.

How about the VW Golf Hater Edition?

Indeed, I already have a parts list going, just need to see what else is worn out on this thing.  I won't call it automotive steroids until we do a boosted B series swap, but that can wait a few years.

I am actually looking forward to working on this over the winter.
