Revised Poll: How much have you invested in mods?

[mark21742]

Btw the way the ex would always bitch about how i payed more attention to the cars than her so i guess its the last option for me

lol good reason for her to be an ex lol.....atleast if I need a hand my girl will come out and help me

[Mr. Luos]

whats really crazy to think about is the single part that gave you the biggest increase in performance was the 50 buck strut tower brace

I guess I should remove that....it isn't even on the car anymore.

I did a search for Linelock, and this is where I found it. If I'm posting in the wrong place perhaps someone can direct me.

I have linelock installed on my car. The hardware, solenoid, shifter button, etc is present. I recently went to the stealership and got them to diagnose the no starting issue and in the process, they disconnected the linelock. Could someone help me reconnect it? I looked under the hood and saw two wires coming from the firewall that I think go to the brake solenoid or battery....Here's what I have: Button on the shifter, on/off switch in the ashtray, solenoid mounted near the brake distribution block. If someone could tell me the electrical way to hook this back up, given what I have, I would really appreciate it.

[SiggyZ]

Not really the right place, but....

It is pretty simple. Solenoid has a wire that goes to the battery (fuse in line) and a wire that goes to the switch.
Switch has a wire that gets grounded and a wire that goes to the solenoid.

[Smittro]

Very little on my Camaro, putting custom exhaust on it Saturday. Not going to cost much being made in my shop. But on my project car? lol Thousands! Thanx for making me think about it Jeff lol

Thanks sir, I reposted in general help after finally finding where to go to post in the proper place. Your explanation seems pretty straight forward. What size fuse should I have in line to the battery? And should I use one of my existing fuse blocks or would you just use an inline fuse?

I would have to go check the fuse. Should have been provided with the linelock kit.

Really?
Knock off all the suspension and wheel/tire stuff then, because you can't afford it anymore.

My motor alone was maybe $10K and my car would SLAUGHTER an crate LS7 powered F-Body.

[supersexy]

I will get a detailed list posted as soon as I find my build sheets. I can remember most of the mods but I don't want to forget anything.
