Now check out my next post and someone please consider it! Been there... Done that... Bought the T-Shirt. What would be new if... * GM stuck a fully manual transmission in a mid-size sedan * the Rockies won a freaking road series more than once * I got a DOHC / 5-speed :shock: - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries... I was hoping more for a laugh... sorry if it too blunt. No, SLP is a good site / company; hands down. Friends have had personal experience with them. But SLP deals more with the Gen II W-Body and Gen IV F-Body's with a couple of S10's and Rangers to 'widen' their sales pitch. We need more Gen I W-Body parts... who want to start a new company? GnatGoSplat? Brian P? RedCutlassSL? PhantonFE3? I know you guys want in on this... - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomFE3 Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 hell yeah!!!! im in!!! my dad uses CNC machines everyday at work! we both work at the same place so i can talk to my boss about them making parts for us!!!! i know your just kidding but i think its a good idea, we could start small with just little things, kinda like M&S production! have a small website, ya know... i have my own mowing buisness and i get paid more if i want to work more. if your serious i saw we should give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

91GranSport Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'd start up a new company with Shawn, BrianP, RedCutlassSL and some of the other dudes here. Gen1 W-Body parts for sure, that's all we make. Shawn can engineer all the performance parts and upgrades and shit. I'd work on the exterior stylin and cosmetic products. BrianP can simply stop by with some beers and tell jokes to keep us laughing. RedCutlassSL can stop by and keep us focused. No worries... I was hoping more for a laugh... sorry if it too blunt.

phantomFE3 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 i own my own mowing buisness, it kicks ass, im only 16 and i already have like 4,000 worth of equipment paid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supreme_style21 Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Well thats a little different than what I was thinking.. In the old town I lived in, there was NOTHING to do whatsoever.. but everyone drove like a few hours to the next town for the clubs.. so I thought, hmmmm.... I could start a sweet club here and everyone would come! So I started pricing stuff and found a good building for it. But after awhile, I just figured I couldn't afford the inital startup.. The damn building I looked at was a hefty 300,000 bucks alone.. then I would need tons of other crap, so I basically gave up on the idea.

Not just a Sunday drive! - Erik The Saturn midsize and wagon has a manual available with the 4 cyl. I test drove one and it was quick, (partially because the drive ratio is about 4:10 or so as I recall. The CTS will soon have the 5.7 with a 6-speed! Oh yeah, the original jist of the your post, Hi John/89regalgs. I believe I am the person who turned you on to this forum in the 1st place when you asked over on the Car and Driver forum if there was any place to get info on our type of cars and I pointed you this way.

I just don't have anything to sell that I can make a profit on. If you look at my Ebay feedback, you can see I do like selling! I also have an idea list a mile long, just no way to get them from concept to physical product. If you can think of a way to start a business without me having to sell the house or take out a loan, I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
