Future Plans:
I'm trying to do what alot of you Sy/Ty guys are already doing for handling with coilovers, fiberglass leafs, Lightweight spindle(for me w/o CV Shaft Holes), and LS1/Vette Brakes.

I have pretty bad traction problems so I'm hoping to get 3.73s and a posi in the rear sometime in the next couple months.

A few different things I'm doing are making my own brake ducts, Custom Center Console, Trimming down the Brackets on my Accesories(specifically the A/C and PS bracket as AC is gone), a shortened PS cap. I'm also copying all my stock skidplates with fiberglass ones, so I can make a bit of an aerodynamic tray under the car.

I have a rollpan and notch sitting in my garage, so hopefully Ill get those on this summer.
I still have to get a new driveshaft and tailshaft to ditch the 4WD Transfer Case.

My goals are to get the car down to 3000lbs (without me in it), and make it handle like it's on rails. I've autocrossed it once and put down respectable numbers on stock torsion bars, so with a few of my weight-reducing mods planned I thinking it should be pretty potent.

Good looking Blazer. I dig the Wagons :tup:
I would love to have AWD and Turbo, but weight reduction is fast on a college kid's budget
and once I get that LSD the 2 295's should do alright

And people never know what the hell it is, this is how it was when I got it:
(stock except for 31s and T-bar Crank)

Now with the C5 wheels that fit the body styling and look stock, that throws people off too, I was at a VW meet with my friend who had a bug and some guy asked if it was a subaru :rotf:

If the Sy/Tys weren't around I'd probably wouldn't have half the aftermarket options for my car that are out now, so I'm grateful to have you guys around

You should bring some AWD fury down to autocrosses in marina, it's a bit of a drive but if you're already at SJSU it wouldn't be too bad.

and thanks for compliments, budget pending it should keep getting better :)
