guilty as charged..........
twas going good for a while there with everyones base model status's and I still enjoy trolling here. I have to add that I got fully bolted/tuned on my SS/TC now for $300 total cost to me (was bone stock when I got it). basically i doubled where my LT was at power-wise, which was the goal and reason behind selling it. very small parts of me misses the simplicity of the LT and how I could drive it like I stole it and get 33mpg yet, but that fades quickly once I realize I can now do unneccesary rolling burnouts at 40 mph lol
just figured I stop in and say high again! keep up the good work guys

Everyone's Base models look great! Here is my 05 LS . I trade all the time and with 155k miles it doesn't seem worth it to turbo or s/c since will be harder to trade with higher miles. I'm not getting any offers for it since the value is so low . The previous owner supposably put a new 2.2 in , but no paperwork so thats why im leaning on trading it off . Though the block is black where he said he painted it before he dropped it in and I dont think the ecotec's come all black so im still unsure .

what is the best way YOU would suggest I drop it? I dont want to spend hundreds of dollars since im not going to have it too long anyways . I thought have maybe finding some springs on craigslist , I know bad idea with stock struts but I would only be doing 1 1/4 or so drop .

Found a stock L61 injector harness and an oem coolant tank for under $8 at the local pick n pull.
Already finished making the L61 stage 2 LSJ injector harness. One step closer to whine-time!
