Just filled up my car today, figured out she has the bladder issue as other Corvettes her generation. So instead of 20 gallons she is now 16.5 gallons, personally I'm fine with it. I'd rather pay to fill 16 gallons than 20 gallons

Thank you! I can't wait till I have money for a fifth generation Camaro! It's been my dream Camaro since Transformers. And I want a RJM for a close match to the DRM. I even went as far as cleaning and sweeping the whole garage every week for my car to fit in the garage. My mom on the other hand is happy to have anything that will hold all her kids.

BTW, added a Facebook page for Nicky guys can check it out and "like" if you want to follow up on her

Just picked up a rockerswitch from RadioShack and wired it in so my antenna is only up when I want it to or need it. Now my car doesn't have to look like a sailboat

Love Corvettes, hope to get my first when I pay my SS off. Looks like you have done a great job, can't wait to see what engine mods and dressup you get done over time

Love Camaros, hope to get my first when I can pay for one. Thank you, added a mod list to the top of the thread.

Just removed the windshield washer tank and the hoses along with it I don't expect huge improvements I know. But Doc has shown any weight makes a difference. I'd love to get my Corvette down around 3060 what I hypothesized last night.
