Good morning, all!

Going out running shortly, than beginning to move various stuff around the house in preparation for a major second floor remodel starting in late September/early October. In the mid-afternoon, methinks the convertible is coming out ...

Morning guys...It's a beautiful start to a Saturday her in KC. Daughter's sprinkler was misting on the Corvette, so after it was done I went out and wiped it down. Was a good thing that I coated the front (especially) with the Rejex as the bugs wiped off without hardly any effort.

To answer Marcus's question, I believe that the "skip shift" bypass was installed. Not once have I received the 1-4 notice.

The plans for today are up in the air...or no plan at all.

gloomy here, rained all night - more due for today. Hoping for cool weather instead of muggy hot stuff. Due at the back shop to meet Arron to put on my balancer at 10 - prayers that is all it is and that takes care of the issue and I can get it back on the road. I like my truck but it's getting old being in that every day.

Those Harmonic balances are a known issue, Letty. I, too, hope that fixes your problems.

Hidey-ho! I'm up early (before 10), but I'm at peace with it. Hope it dries out so I can mow the shaggy lawn later. Meanwhile, I'm gonna do the first oil change on the pickup. I bought a 2-wire actuator to convert the lock on the tailgate to power, but I don't know if I feel like tackling that. At any rate, I do plan to put a little dent in my supply of Spotted Cow later.

Balancer mojo, Letty!

Enjoy your Saturday, Gurus!

Good Morning CGs (and Tommy),

Well I just finished an hour and a half at the gym. Yes Tommy, that IS my idea of a nice vacation. I can be there as long as I want with no whining from the wife.

Yesterday we took the chair lift up to the top of the mountain. Unbelievable views you have to see to believe. I will try to post pictures when I get home.

TB - glad the car is running well.

Bill - any updates?

Hope everyone has a great day.

I had to go buy a strap-type oil filter wrench - they apparently use gorillas to install the filters at the factory. Anyway, the truck should be good until spring. Meanwhile, I also picked up the oil and filter for the Vette - won't be long before I'll be changing oil in that before putting it to bed.

Guru balancer mojo seemed to have worked - I swear I got 75 horsepower back... the rubber ring was shot, it was all wavy. And watching it get changed - OMG - I want NO part of that.. it looked like a major PITA... and no more than he told me he'd charge me I felt bad. While it was up there discovered my oil pan bolt is leaking, need a new one there. Cleaned the inside of my rims and stuff while they were off and sway bars and such while I could get to things.
Sounds like Matt is having a good time and so is TB with his car ...

If you are like me Tee, I'm always pushing 3 grand when I shift so that would override the skip shift anyway...

Someone recently said that the Borla's are more low end rumble and the Corsa's are more raspy European sounding..which I thought was a good discription of the two exhaust sounds....

I'd trade the Borla for the Corsa if someone had the mind to.

I like the sound they make, but Rosie isn't liking them as much as I do.
