RE: [Chevelle-list] etc.
Pelle, You could also save all your money (hahaha=)until this spring and buy my front suspension, new everything two or three years ago (brakes, paint, poly bushings. etc) and front and rear adjustable Koni's Its not your original setup as I think the 4piston iron calipers were a 1968 only item, many persons dont like them but after I had mine resleeved they have been great.

There are lots of things, but the best change you could ever make is shocks. You can get new bushings. Rubber is OK if yours are old will improve handling and feel. If you already have good rubber bushings, you can change to polyurethane which will tighten things up. Opinions vary. Some people think that the poly bushings are too harsh and noisy. I like them. You can mix and match, by replacing the sway bar hardware with poly and keeping the rest rubber for comfort. You could buy new seats with nice, firm padding and good side bolsters. You could upgrade your tires to larger wheels (~17x8) and use modern, low profile rubber like a 275/40/17 tire. You could upgrade your steering to a higher effort faster ratio box for better road feel. Probably some other things...

RE: [Chevelle-list] etc.
Once you get past the "Fisher-Price" interface of XP, it's not that different from W2K, really. I have two each at home and at work we're split about 50/50 as well. Except for some very OS specific custom software (and some MS utilities), they run about the same. Did you use the home or Pro version? I haven't used the home version of either but I know you can make XP Pro look like W2K as far as the interface goes.

I've just had a horrible experience called Windows XP! That's why I've been so quiet! But now that is solved with Win 2000 again! Phew!! I'm looking forward to that day I might get as comfortable with the V8 as with the W2000 ;-) XP felt like a Vaz Lada ;-) For all of you who'd like to put some links to Chevelle Gearheads! I'm ready! Photos are still welcome! Send em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTW Any general suggestions what I should do to get a more solid feel from the suspention apart from changing coils & shock absorbers?
