    Ordered 4 of the 5 gauges for the 5 Gauge Pod/trim that I got from CP last week. Speed Hut gauges, boost/vac, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure (all direct taps) and an Trans Temp (OBDII). All with warning LEDs too. Next week or two I'll be ordering an Innovate Dual A/F gauge.

    It's all a little much for my current set up but I figure it couldn't hurt to future-proof things so if I throw a lumpy cam in or stroker motor down the road I'll have what I need.

    Fixed my HIDs, I don't know what kit is in the car, it's got the extra harness and the fuse holder was coming apart. I replaced it and extended/rerouted the wiring so it wasn't just dangling from the positive post to the front headlight. I noticed the wire is awful small for have a 25amp circuit also, gonna be beefing that up sometime.

    Dropped 2 curbed rims off to the wheel guy in town and picked them back up this afternoon. Wasn't me, I swear, but my oldest son and wife drove the car last year, so...
    I'm thinking of swapping out the snows - maybe tonight! Since the "summer" set-up is now all-season tires, it's probably OK. I mean, how much more can it snow this season?

    The A6 driveshaft coupler from the Camaro worked like a charm, so the driveshaft is back in, exhaust is wrapped to try to prevent further melting, and the exhaust system is reinstalled and tightened.

    I need to adjust the front struts. Apparently there is a specific orientation the top retaining plate is supposed to be in, and I managed to put both mine in in the exact opposite direction. Then it'll need an alignment. Then after that... I think it's pretty much good to go.

    Yeah, it shoudlnt be bad. I plan to try putting the spring compressors on while the shocks are still on the car and loosening them just enough to twist the spring and top cap. With the car in the air, of course.
