    Ordered a Camaro pan and filter, a PPV strut/shock kit, and front strut mounts from Greg @ Pace today. Maintenance. LSA is going to have to wait a bit, I just started cutting the Timber Frame for the new barn (parking for ALL the horses- well the ones under a hood anyway). One of those traditional, mortise-and-tenon pegged barns.

    Creature Comfort:
    19" spare & Pace jack kit, autodim mirror, visor light mod, pass seat slider fix, subwoofer mod, Homelink visor (by Snakey),
    XM & OnStar out/CoStar BLUESTAR in

    Show:
    debadged except GM chicklets, custom GXP front fascia, GXP rear diffuser, Holden Center Caps

    Go/Whoa:
    VMS ECM/TCM tune, Vararam, HSRK, ARH 1-3/4" LTH, HFCs into stock mufflers, Mobil 1, Pedders Street 1 kit, front Brembo's, PPV struts & shocks

    I'm more interested in the barn! Sounds cool as hell!

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    You need to have your priorities in order. Barn before the house! Building the barn first gives us a place to set up all of the tools to build the house (I am more of a carpenter than a mechanic), but enjoy a fine automobile for sure. Timber framing has been my hobby since 1995 when I cut my first frame (a massive 8x12 shed LOL). Over the years, I have cut Horse barns, Sugar houses, additions to houses, you name it. The most fun you can have is a traditional timber frame raising! I'll post a few pics along the way.

    I’d like to see them!
    Maybe we should start a new thread showing that we’re not just cars?
    In the lounge??

    Today i installed a nice small roof spoiler. Ordered from EBAY USA.https://www.ebay.de/itm/Flat-Black-S...53.m2749.l2649
    Fits perfect, price is very good and came from Taiwan to germany in 3 days. On my front spoiler i have sticked EZ- lips. IŽll find, it looks good and was cheap. The better hard plastic boards, or wings with americans can have on their cars are not allowed in germany.

    I just drove mine for the first time after being in hibernation for about six months. I will say that Flatstoppers are amazing. Drove off of them and the tires were perfect. Well worth the money. Other than that nothing too exciting aside from me trying to decide between doing a max effort NA build vs a mild cam/heads turbo build. Not going for the fastest G8 in the world or anything like that but wouldn't mind hurting some feelings if a challenger came across my path.
