What do you have left to do on the car before M7?

I know I've got a list, how about you guys/gals?

Ive got the rollbar in and painted, battery relocated to the hatch, subframe connectors in, torque arm is installed, aluminum fuel cell for the nitrous is done.
Now ive got the Hal struts and springs to install, and plumb the new fuel system for the bottle and im ready for some wheels up action.
Lookin to do some track testing soon.

Hopefully I will have the 4.10 installed if I can get a hold of somebody to do it before then.:) I've been trying to get a hold of 1bad86z, I hear he is the man for the job!

New master cylinder, came home last night and saw a nice puddle of fluid on the floor, WTF!!! After that then it's time for some practice, practice, practice! I'll probably be out at Stanton Wednesday night for some TNT.

99 1LE Hugger SS, if you need some floorspace to get all that done let me know. I'm on vacation all week just screwing around with stuff at home.

I've got some more grinding to do on the brake calipers to get the slicks on and then I have to finish wiring up my launch RPM selector.

I need to get a new battery - as mine is slowly dying.
An aftermarket transmisson mount.
Get my 3.73s installed.
Get a Drive Shaft Loop.

.........and borrow a helmet from someone.

Milo.

I'm still waiting for the TQ convertor to come back. I would like to change fuel and nitrous filters. Get a micro WOT switch hooked up for the nitrous. Drill out some extra jets a few thousanths:D

I'm sure there is more, but I'll start there.

Ignition/spark problem,a header leak,my TQ converter and tranny cooler if they get here on time:(

Just rebuilt the master cylinder, time for some test driving! Fricken sealing washer was ripped and spraying fluid out when you push the pedal down. Anyway, all set just cleaning up the car now.

Honestly?

From front to back...here's the list



Rebuild entire steering system/tierods/idler
Alignment
Spohn Sway bars (36/24mm)w/endlinks
New wheel bearings
KVR crossdrilled rotors
KVR pads
possibly stainless lines
Jamex 1" drop springs
Koni Yellow shocks(front)
Oil change
Install new NX STage 6 nitrous plate and plumb it up
Make stage 6 plate fit under hood somehow:)
SLP headers
SLP Y-pipe
3" Flowmaster Delta Flow 40 series muffler with turndown
Install old 10 bolt with 3.73 gears, Auburn Pro
T/A Cover
Royal Purple fluids
Spohn Lower control arms
Spohn adjustable panhard rod
Spohn LCA relocation brackets
INSTALL WALBRO 340M fuel pump
Run new fuel pump wires(bigger!)


I may be missing a few things also...wish me luck. Luckily my buddy Joe is helping out bigtime!

Looking for a new best at M7!!!

Well I have the Super Sucker installed and I need to test that on a better day than last Wed. was:(
The off road Y-pipe is on it's way. Hopefully it'll get here in time. And I need to swipe the O2 sims off from Rods car to take care of the Cats being gone.

Steve and Matt,
If the weather is good look for me at Stanton on Wed.

Thanks for the invite derty hopefully i can get the struts on before wednsday so i can see if my new suspension can take the power. Last time i tried i spun my ET streets all the way through first and into second and still ran an 11.30@123.8 through the exhaust.
Al I hope to make it up to stanton on Wednsday or maybe even martin on friday( now that im legal :) )
Derty i seen you drive by at rogers tonight. You should stop by sometime. I didnt know it was you till you drove past and i seen the license plate. I had to leave not to long after that (after givin a few freinds some nitrous runs down 28th.) ;)

2 weeks and counting

We just drove through real quick on our way to the bar. Just a minor detour! I got the car all fixed, I hope nothing else decides to break. So at this point it looks like I'll have some TNT action this Wednesday.

Gotta chase down an electric gremlin. It's either a short in the wire, or bad ground. Keeps blowing the engine-sensor fuse.:mad:

Then I gotta finish tuning it... Hmmmm... I wonder what it'll do when it's actually running good?:think:

Gotta get the rear end redone, as it's decided to crap out on me :-(

;) Top Secret.........Can't Tell..... ;)

The list keeps growing:think:

Let's see... Pick it up from the shop (Nice Power Package Being Added ;))....... Drop the hammer on the new package... Break Rear End...... Have new 12 bolt put in....... Hammer it again........ ENJOY

LIFE IS/WILL be good:D

lol.. I know I know. Someone let the cat out of the bag already. :)


I got a little somethin. Maybe we can line them up again?



Hope to see you guys there!


Joe

I just got a fuel pressure gauge and voltmeter to install in the A-pillar gauge pod.

I also have a rattle that just popped up that I need to fix, kind of sounds like the exhaust hitting under the car. That never happened before so I think my tranny mount might be shot.

To much to list.:( won't be bringing the red one this year. :mad:

as soon as it comes back i need to get out and make sure the car is once again making 11 second power on motor before i throw a 350 shot at it at stanton. other than that the car is set to go

:metal:

TQ convertor came back already, bumped it up a little. Installed today, Thanks for the help Andy.

Now to figure out a few clinks, install TQ arm, tweek the exhaust, fiddle with the rear sway bar mounts, check fluid levels, fill bottles, drill out jets, glue cracked lid (from last year), the rest is secret.

I guess everyone else is ready to roll. Anyone have an extra bottle I can use? Baby is real hungry.

Better pack a lunch!!:D

well Harold, I couldnt afford a supercharger so I picked up a few deals on EBAY and so far it's looking pretty good! All I need to do is weld in a few brackets so that it'll pass tech, then I can finish the installation of my newly engineered parallel array electric forced induction system! Yes, you heard it first right here, and here's how I did it:

I picked up a 6500 watt Honda Generator and remote-mounted it into what once was the rear hatch area. The subwoofer had to go! The generator is running through a secondary turbo muffler and is whisper quiet in its rubber isolation mounts, courtesy McMaster Carr. I ran some braided stainless 3/4 inch hose from my Griffin radiator to the generator, because it's q 12-horse liquid cooled motor. The generator is pumping 27 AMPS of 240 VAC through 00 gage wire to the engine compartment, where there is a series-parallel array of EIGHT leaf blower engines all blowing into a common plenum. At idle, the plenum pressurizes to 17 PSI, and at WOT, the plenum still has enough reserve to keep pressure to nearly 14 PSI!

I have the blowers connected through an array of four solenoids that engage from a microswitch on the throttle plate of the carb: They spool up only at 3/4 throttle, which reduces the noise of the generator to virtually nothing as it idles with no load. The generator was a remote electric start model(ES6500, I think), so I can actually start it from my driver's seat with no one knowing.

All I can say is this leaf blowercharger really makes the motor haul azz. I swear, I can now see the front end twist under the torque. With the Spohn suspension, the car hooks and I get pressed into the seat, and then there is this blur as I launch! I really wonder how much of this the ol' 305 can handle! I *did* back off the timing so as far as I can tell, there isn't any detonation... I guess next week we will see.

The only problem that I ran into is that I couldnt close the hood. I solved the problem by installing one of those Mopar-style hood scoops. It's a little unsightly right now, but with a little paint and fiberglass, I think the hood will look killer!

Cheers,

Dan

That is the craziest thing I've ever heard of! Cool, but crazy!

You're loosing it Dan. Wait til I tell Ken.:)

Always ready to line up even If I don't stand a snow balls chance :)

Glad to hear your trans is doing well Harold. Also thanks again for helping me get moved out of the old house when we were done with your trans! And also thanks for dealing with the old man next door! What an azz!!!!
I would really like to do something to my car before m7 or else it's just going to run the same times as before. I really need to work on traction at this point. My buddy's dad ordered some BFG drag radials and they were not the right size. They are the right size for me though. They are down the road at the tire store. $138 each. I don't know.
Can't wait to see everyone!!!
Andy

No problem Andy. Thank you for the home cooked meal. The convertor is doing good, not alot of difference from the 3200. The TQ arm is in, and I took out the tranny rear seal, and RVC on it and put back in. The axle tube on the drives side is leaking like crazy, so I'll have to scratch any racing this weekend, until I can fix that. Lot's of little things, but I'll do my best to be ready by M7. Get with me if you want to do the gears early this week.
