Thanks guys for the kudos on the Mav. Means a lot coming from you all.

I like the 295. Anything more would be overkill and more costly to replace. And in my opinion, out of balance to the front tire size. Besides, I've barely got enough power now to break them loose with any kind authority.

And speaking of mountain bikes, I picked this up last weekend. Nothing fancy. Just something to beat on and commute during the winter here. Its a heavy pig but should make me stronger and leaner for the spring. Yesterdays epic fail was realizing I forgot how to bunny hop without being clipped into the pedals. OUCH!

Screw the car - the Bike is Awesome.

Okay since your forgot how to Bunny Hop with clipless pedals and your riding "Flats" you need to go check out www.bikejames.com he is a MTB specific trainer and an advocate for "Flats" Remember "Clips" are for Tie's not Mountain Bikes.

I made the swtich back to flats about 1 1/2 ago and just sold most of my clipless stuff this week. My riding skills have excelled more in the last year. I can rail trails that I have struggled with for years. Trust me don't look back leave those cleapless pedals for the Roadieee's.

ps - buy your self a good pair of Teva or FiveTen sticky bottom shoe's and you wil be more connected to the bike then with clipless.

The 405 only come in a 24". Pirelli makes them. The dually truck guys are converting the rear two tires to one with a 24x15 rim. Looks sweet on a big dually too. There is a guy running the 405/25/24 on a new Camaro....google it. Pirelli also makes a 375/20/21, but the sidewall is so short it looks no wider than a 345 per other forums I read.

2nd Chance Camaro - High Speed Welding Edelbrock Exhaust Mod Post 1


2012 10-22 Update - High Speed Welding Edelbrock Exhaust Mod Post 1

www.2ndchancecamaro.com

Afternoon All,

The guys at High Speed Welding are finishing up the exhaust and it should be done by the end of the week.



The goal is to tuck the exhaust up tight to the stock floor pan.



Close up of the new downpipes on the shorty headers



You can see that nothing is hanging below the Stock Sub-Frame as the car will be 5 1/2" off the ground.



In order to tuck the muffler tight to the floor they had to raise a section of the stock floor pan.





It was very important to keep the factory rear seat for my girls to ride in.



Finished front half of the exhaust.

&

&



The G-Force cross member made tucking the exhaust up easy. This is a great piece !



Up and over the axle is going to be exciting as the car has been lowered 3" in the rear so it's going to be a tight squeeze.



I love how pictures make things look closer then they actually are.








More to come this week.
