2000 NBS Blue Steel Burban Build

Haha that’s twice this week I missed the opportunity to get red parts and be faster! It’s gonna be soooo slow when I get done.

Yup. You're down 10-15 HP already, for sure.

@HiHoeSilver I’ll just grab a red CAI that should easily add back the lost 10-15 HP with another 10-15 on top.

Haha hints the “afraid of the dark” tag, and honestly I love light, all the bulbs in my house are hand picked temps for the area they are in lol.

Are those the same led pods you ordered? I remember seeing how bright your liftgate was when I looked through the thread.

My entire house inside and out is led swapped

No I have led bolts , same concept but mount a little more flush.

Continuing the LED upgrades, got all the interior lights swapped out.
Sooooo much brighter! They look a little yellow in the photos but they white with a touch of blue

They look pretty damn white to me. Great upgrade.

So close but not out of the woods yet. Most everything has shown up just waiting on tie-rods, will be putting the lift on and rebuilding all the steering over Xmas week, got a shop that can do the alignment scheduled for the 29th. Crossed all my I’s and dotted my T’s, lol.

Parts list:







And then there was that sinking feeling you get when you know something important just broke.......

On the way home from work Friday as I started to accelerate from a 20mph zone to a 35mph I noticed the tach climbing and climbing but wasn’t feeling the pull that should go along with it....Oh NO! I let out of gas for a second and slowly got back into it and she went right to the red line without so much as flinching. The clutch is toast! I’m losing speed bad at this point and almost got stuck on the hill I was going up but just made it to the top and turned off into a Papa Johns. Was able to let it sit for a minute and get the remains of my clutch plates to drop out of the filter long enough to drive it 2 more miles to a shop I pass everyday. Guys were super helpful, hooked me up with a local transmission shop that specializes in chevy based drag racing. Waited 4 hours for a tow, which they comped cause it was suppose to take 30mins but their tow truck broke down lol, the guy at the trans shop stayed late and waited on me so we could get my poor baby in the shop and on a lift that night. Said he will build me a trans that’s inline with performabuilt’s HD Hauler 4l60e and have it done by Tuesday.

Hate that this happened now, I knew it was on it’s last leg but was hoping I could make it through Xmas and at least get the lift on before having to do the trans, I wanted to order a performabuilt in like Feb. But with the way everything is scheduled and getting time off work to do it all, I’ll have to go with this plan now. Guy at the trans shop definitely knows his stuff. Seem like some good old boys who like to go fast on chevy parts.
