Finally finished the engine bay!
John Shurr
Back in 2017, Brian Cooper and I began to converse on FB about doing a engine swap. One thing lead to another and we had a parts list. WOW, what an imagination we had and I thought I had deep pockets.
WE originally talked about a LSX-454, but investigating the accessories and the parts needed to make it fit in a Sky, and the prices, had us changing our minds quick. I chose a LS7 instead. I wanted to keep the manual transmission, but the Aisin 5 speed would have grenaded, so we looked into a T56. Brian worked out and negotiated prices and got the transmission for $5000 - that included a...

No, not really. I thought the HID 3000K bulb had blown and ordered a replacement. Turns out the ballast/feed wire connection was bad. The original HID conversion kit came with thin metal contacts that were shoved into the feed connection manually and separately. That connection had gone bad. Fortunately, a dedicated ballast/feed wire with proper connectors had been supplied with the replacement bulb. A bit frustrating and took extra time to check out with a multi-tester, but at least I found the problem.

I'm a lucky guy.....my 2009 Pontiac G6 Convertible still looks and runs like new and my 2006 Toyota Prius, same thing. I bought this car over the internet, from a dealership almost 200 miles from my home. It still had that new car smell, clear protective tape was never removed from the Sill Plates, not a dent, ding, scratch anywhere and totally pristine headlights and bumpers, Monsoon Stereo and the top is perfect. This car has never been driven in the rain or been through a car wash. I'm doing my best to keep it that way. Interior looks and feels totally new. I plan on joining a local...

I apologize for the rather tacky reference, but it is a long way from Ft. Lupton CO to Palm Beach, and I ran that last week, in the Sky. I had a conference to attend, and couldn't take my equipment by plane, so I did the drive. Three days out, two days back. Yes, I may not do the two day gig again, a little intense, but it worked.
So how did she do, my "Stella", very well 4210 miles without a hiccup. Now I am sure somebody has done a longer drive, but this good 'ole boy was impressed that it was a comfortable drive, with an average of 27.50 mpg.
As you may see, I am very happy with my...

Well, here it is, February 2015, ten months after my Sky purchase and I have no real complaints -- unless you consider there's NO storage in these rigs. I've gotten used to that. I did outfit the car with a luggage rack during the summer (made by KappaRACK in California) that was perfect for overnight trips. I'm no mechanic, but have no problem with doing my own maintenance. I changed out the battery (which requires pulling off the fender panel) and have done one oil change (which is easy with the proper filter socket and shallow grade ramps). I think it would be smart to acquire a set of 4...

Two weeks after taking deliver of my new car I installed a rear deck rack from a Yamaha GS 1300. Re-tapped the bolt holes in the rack to 1/4x20 and used bolts rather than threaded rods to mount. Rack and deck held up to 120 lbs load with no problems and was a great asset for 8 years of travel with the much needed extra space .Two flat bungees were all that was necessary and these always travelled in the back cubby.

Set a course for Hot Rods Bar and Grill in Palmyra WI. It was supposed to be about an hours drive in the country but turned out longer. It was not an issue with my car but an issue with my Garmin. Seems when I entered the name and started route it sent me south into Illinois. As much as I was thinking in my mind that I need to go west it continued to take me south. I knew when I hit Illinois it was time to stop. I rerouted my drive and it took me along Hwy 173, Hwy 12 North, and Hwy 59 to Palmyra. I stopped and had a late lunch at Hot Rods Bar and Grill then headed back...

Bonjour,
J'aimerais que les propriétaires de Solstice et de Sky en Mauricie puissent se réunir pour faire des ballades, des soupers, aller sur des terrasses pour faire profiter la vue de l'entourage avec nos merveilleux véhicules qui sont devenus des raretés.

Four men with their furrowed brows stood nearly at attention flinging loud comments, interrupting and overlapping each other’s conversation. A shorter man, well dressed, stood looking and listening at these advisors slightly bewildered. No, this was not the head of a small country evaluating the threat of North Korea launching an attack on its neighbors; it was the team of experts determining in 2003 what needed to be done to a near barn find, Ron Stauber’s 1933 Singer Nine Roadster or if it could even be done.
On May 5, 2013, in Beverly Hills, California, before noon, four...
