So whats everyone doing to their cars this year?

Whats everyone got planned?

Going crazy! Headers, cam, springs, ported TB, a real exhaust setup, and I'm trying to work out a deal on an LS6 intake. Hook Greene up with those pushrods, I need em!! Also thinking about stripes after I get these rock chips touched up.

subframe connectors, stb, cam, heads, lt's, ect... some more nitrous acc. shootin for 10's and a new f bod to the fam!! a 94 3.4 pickin her up in the mornin

Planning on a forged 383 shortblock and will run existing heads & cam and then spray it.

Next couple years I'll upgrade the heads & cam and then force some air down it's throat.

new rims and tires. maybe get the scratches taken care of. id really like to get a ram air hood or exhaust or something.

bein a poor college dude sucks.

*sigh* only 6 more years...

Bought a new Coan "Maximum competition" th400 transmission.

Roll baby roll...

finish color change to 25th/30th TA

swap in my 355

Lets see here. . . . . Zaino. And ummm. . . . . . . Maybe some drop springs. I dont want to put too much money into the Grand Am.

Just a chip and a muffler:cool:

well where do i start,, after M8 their was a mad dash to pick up a jelly preped 000ci block< lightened 00lbs, billet in all 0 positions, bored to 0.000 just needs to be finished honed, bushed lifter bores, then there is the billet rods( i wont go there) and then i found out the heads had 3 bent exhaust valves and 2 int. with a craked giude also, after ordering a new crank (callies)with a 0.000 stroke < catching on yet > (psst 000ci), and now i am waiting for custom pistons from diamond (00.0 - 00.0 compression) something like that, and a new solid roller cam with new lifters. oh and there is the new hal rear shocks and rear springs, bmr relocating brackets,a new motor plate, an assortment of weather proof connectors with crimper, a new trans pan for more fluid capacity, and i am still thinking about a set of custom headers with the new collector mufflers from dynatech, then i am thinking of selling my 9", anyone,anyone?? and starting over with light weight components and larger axles, then i need to reposition the torque arm, after M8 i bent it at the adjusting sleeve, put the battery out back, i also have to strip out the engine bay and prep for paint, i also am buying a new set of rear pro stars with new slicks, also new front speed rated tires. so as you can see costs are a part of my life,,, anyone need a rear end regeared, rebuilt, anything????

p.s. just to not piss anyone off left some #'s out, i know i am not street racing anymore, but i can't tell you all of m secrets...

Bottom nines, high eights, if not big sale everything must go. LOL.


Kevin

I got dibs on the Hal Shocks :D

Torque arm, maybe a converter....maybe intake/heads/cam if I get the oney

If this thing doesn't run the number there yours. Hey all even throw in the front coil overs too. I'm going to look pretty silly with a chut and a bar and only run in the 12's.lol

Mostly appearance stuff, since the car is still under warranty, I really don't want to mess with the engine. K&N drop in is the pretty much the only thing under the hood. Front and rear STB, Steeda short shifter, SVT dead pedal, clear corners, Euro grille, Euro 15 spoke gun metal grey rims, Hella projector lenses (possibly) and massive stereo work. Careful my friend, I believe the Rice gods are getting to you ;)

Cool I email you my address. lol

Not sure if you remember me but my buddy bought your Borla exhaust last year. Did you get rid of all your stuff?

New cam and bearings for me.

I don't think that there is anything I forgot. :think: ;)

Roman

New 40 hp valve cover breather:D

And I want the chute! :D

My plans change almost daily. Right now I'm gathering parts for a 9 inch rear. Tunnel ram setup is enroute. Forecast calls for a glass front end, lexan windows, and a direct port fogger kit :)

Aiming for around 7lb per cubic inch. I'm less than half a pound per ci away right now. ;)

the goal is to need a chute to drag my ass back down at the big end!

:eek:

I'm finally putting an airfilter on my car. ;)

And making my engine......uh...... prettier. :think:

Yes, I remember you. I sold everything down to the bare shell, then started over. I hope after all this work the car runs some big #'s.

Hows your coming along?

Kevin

Well, I can't believe I'm actually admitting this, but I'm considering selling mine!!:eek:

That's something I never thought I'd entertain, but I have the new boat fever and if my present boat sells, I know the budget officer would want something else gone too before a new toy came home. :(

Maybe I just better keep all that I have. A big block go-fast boat and a T/A convertible are more than most are fortunate to accumulate.

RRRR

Don't know I need Hals. So hurry up and run your number, lol

It is coming along alright. I switched over to a front mount intercooler and also am going to be running some Bogart wheels. :)

Still driving it :( I cant wait until I have an aircraft hanger and all the governments tools to play with her.:D

I'm going with a new set of titanium frictionless ultra smooth muffler bearings then next I'll go with the X11 super slick flux capaciator coil wire kit. Might try nitrogen in the tires instead of that cheap gas station air...
...just call me lill hindenburg the land zepplin over yonder;)

But seriously [sp?] folks, I'm fixing 6 bent valves, fresh rings and things.

SFC and tint....I know weak but it's still under warranty:rolleyes:

Well the list is long but is going to be delayed. Had to send the heads back and I'm going to be unable to wrench for quite a while after my back procedure on Monday.

why did the heads have to go back?

Mine been under a tarp most the winter....but I have done one very big mod....does anyone know where I can get some urainium.:D :metal: :shock:

I thought Doc revised the design so that it accepted normal household garbage? :think: :D

Full exhaust and ZR1 OEM rims and tires. Info in sig. Need it to warm up and clear up so that I can get it to my father-in-laws lift.

Everyone knows the garbage burning design
wouldn't run the number:D

On my way to DTS:D

Porting heads, solid roller cam, more better carb, window tint, and put the Simmons rims on (finally).

Whoa Joe,
with the numbers you ran in the 1/8th
I figured you'd be set for the winter
what happend?

Unequal valve stem lengths by .020 intale to exhaust.

Narowed rearend 3". Powdercoated the rear, BMR swaybar, adj lower control arms. Upgraded fuel pump, 2 15 lb bottles on the rear hump. Looking good. Gotta go & put things together right now. See ya.

well, the Iroc is in full disassemble mode. eng./trans is on the gar. floor (and in the f'n way:mad: ), next all the sheet metal w/be stripped off and pitched in the trash (exh. for the drivers fender, thats still perfect), and the int. will be completly taken out.

currently, in between all my side jobs Im in the middle of, Im putting 233/239 .570 lift cam, 52 holley tbody, ported intake and heads, 340 fuel pump, stole 3:73 rear end out of my Iroc, edelbrock midlength headers/offroad ypipe, edelbrock rpm catback, flame overlays, msd wires, ummmm, prolly more just cant think of right now. :confused:
dyno tune to follow in spring if I didnt spend enough already!

chris

Well as soon as I find a timing chain cover, Jeff and I am going to button up the timing set and add a Meziere billet electric water pump to the turbo Impala SS and then throw a small shot of nitrous on it to cool the incoming air charge. Also eyeing some 17" ET streets for it and looking at BMR rear upper and lower control arms. Its gonna go or its gonna blow is my motto for 2004.

In the past two months I have installed a Moser 4.11 12bolt, 3.5" aluminum shaft,BMR Torque arm, LCA's and PHB. Still planning on getting an ASP pulley and a ported TB. I may have to replace my lifters and if that happens, stage II heads will be installed too.

I had some engine problems that required me to take my motor apart, so I figured I'd make it more powerful in the process :D

Still so many other parts I need, no racing for me this year. I'll spectate and cruise around, but I gotta keep the RS off the track.

or you can do like denny and just stick a 305 in it and run the piss out of it:D got one here for cheap if your interested. what went wrong w/your eng. that you cant put it back together all summer? you got more will power then me if you can do that. do you still want this hood? if not just let me know I'll try to sell it elsewhere. not that Im worried about it, just want it gone. too much crap hangin aound. :rolleyes:

Why? I have a good reason for asking.

Put th400 in and make it down the track w/o banging rev limiter on every gear change. That's all I swear! :D

I have a lifter noise after high rpm runs. Someone suggested it may be my o-ring on the oil pump pick up letting it suck some air so I am going to replace the o-ring first. After like a 1-2-3 run above 6000rpm I get a bad tick and if I let it idle for about a minute it goes away. And no its not bend push rods, I have comp 918's, Ti retainers and chromemoly pushrods

at this point it is bolt up trans crossmember, check some wires and plugs, put it back on the ground, call insurance and as soon as this white crap stops and the roads are dry....go for a drive!:D

thanks to everyone who has pitched in one way or another and a very patient "better half":)

did i mention driving it now :cool:

AHHH!! got caught up with other stuff, forgot about the hood!
Yea I definatly need it, I could probably snag it sometime Monday after 4 pm?

I just put on clear corners and my Z06s. I got C5 brakes going on in a couple of weeks too. Just fixing up the car so far. I'm going to throw on a Strange 12-bolt and my SPEC Stage 2 mid-season, so probably around July. Then its heads/cam this winter and I'm done for a good while. I need a nicer daily driver and an '05 Chevy Colorado ext. cab Z71 4x4 is calling my name for next fall. :cool:

Have a couple of things planed.

Green car....send shell out have acid dipped, e-coated, new paint, and weight reduction. 3xx inch LT1, ATi F-1r huffer, front mount intercooler, Mark Williams axle, HAL R's, Cr-moly K-member and arm's.

White car...new engine, new trans and converter


Guess you would call it a rebuilding year....:eek:

did i mention driving it...........again

:D

On a college budget...so...LT4 KM+LCAs+1.7RRs, front and rear bumpers might need a repaint

still gonna be stuck with the stock rims...grr too much money to upgrade, gonna wait til I need new tires

Yes, we heard you Taner. You're driving your car again. My car is back in 100 (engine) pieces, so it won't be going again for awhile.

duke,

is it just the motor, or everything? i am sure it will be better than ever once it goes back together.

Im rebuilding my nitrous motor for turbo: project 8s, 1000hp :)

SOLD MY 94z with all the bolt ons and hot cam. Bought a 94z vert with 9000 miles on it. I have less than 100miles on the car put on this car so far and here is what is already done or in the process.
227/233 cam -done
1.6 nsa rockers- done
slp cai- done
2800 stall
3.42 gears
long tubes
true dual exhaust
Brandon

A shiftlight, and a few other things. :D

Install the the Hooker Lt's and True Dual

refresh the ticker a bit

Decide on a cam that will get me running mid 12's in 80 degree heat

I've gt pretty big plans(cponsidering my income) for my new 84 Z.Headers,Cam,Rockers,Exhaust and some suspension.Aiming to be the fastest car in the school.

Taner
Mostly just the engine, but I'm also installing new gauges and doing some other little stuff. I still have to patch the holes up in the firewall where the HVAC stuff was before. Not much else to do besides new brake pads.

glad to hear it is a smaller scale than last year! you had your hands full at that time!

It's starting to grow into more of a project now though, I've got some Koni Yellow struts/shocks I want to put on, might upgrade the front brakes, and some more suspension mods. I also have a fuel leak on the tank I need to take care of before my car catches on fire (again). I have a pretty good size list of things to get done before I can even drive it.

I want gears , PCM retuned , NOS, and appearance upgrades.
