well i bought my car in the 14s, fixed it into the 13s, modded it into the 12s, drove it into the 11s.....so whats the next place for the car to go according to the line??


obviously back to stock, more stock than ever before


ill be glad when it gets closer to being done (haha "done" like that happens), i can stop talking rich krause and jordan musser's ear off about the million questions i run into, and start posting up some setup explanations, dyno slips, and track times

 

Dang, everyone seems to have a lot on their plates for this winter. Good luck to everyone in their projects. I hope you (and me) are all able to complete everything as planned.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

Jacki,

Thanks for the site. I haven't been there before. Most of internet time gets spent at www.turbobuick.com.

A quick update on the winter projects. An opportunity has presented itself to purchase a gorgeous '86GN. I'm looking at another one on Friday and making a decision then. In the meantime, I'll start making storage arrangements.

Anyone want to buy a disassembled 17,000 '95TA? All parts to go back together.

Later,


Steve.

 

Well this winter...not too much:

Lexan windsheild and hatch window
Tubular kmember and tubular A arms with light weight hubs and brakes
Lightweight pin on hood
Install new power glide trans
Play with fresh engine on engine dyno
Play with engine on chassis dyno

Then hopefully high 8's on a 250 shot of spray... Then step it up.

Vince

 

How much do you want for it?

 

Actually I forgot one thing: LATE this winter, I'm talking like Feb-March, the Black car is going in for a new paintjob. Haven't decided on the color yet, but I'm leaning towards a Dark Purple Metallic, a more burnt Sunset Orange Metallic, or the new *gasp* Ford Dark Grey Metallic. Opinions??

 

Red.

Of the choices, I like Sunset Orange Metallic the best, however, I'm not sure how much I would like it on an LT1. So, I'm thinking the dark purple metallic sounds best.

 

That's what I said. Dark Purple Metallic. But my Fiance' is against me driving a "purple" car. I told her don't worry, Purple with brushed aluminum emblems (screaming chicken, Trans Am, ect) and black Grand Sport or Polished Fikse rims would look good. And if I can ever get it running right, it will have the ***** to back it up too.

The purple I'm actually looking at is the one used on the F-Body in 98. Bright Purple Metallic. That one gets an "O" face from me.

 

My plans are to wait until Vince is done with his project, then steal it from him. I want that car!

Andy

 

ahhhhh i hate purple (and teal) on cars....ok sorry, haha.....but i recommend the orange metallic...the gray would be hot too, but the orange is more rare

 

Thanks Andy, That is really nice of you to say. I am so looking forward to next year. It is going to be so fun to be ready in the spring for a change. It has been years since I was ready before july 1. Hope your coming racing one weekend?

Vince

 

I'll definitely come up to see you run the car Vince. Just let me know before you do and I'll be there.

Andy

 

I don't have a teal car....it's blue-green. If I got it new I'd go for the Sunset Orange.

 

when i finally get the right headers from pacesetter im puttin them and their ypipe on...my TC is getting put on in a couple of weeks as well...im also hoping to install a cam by march. I should be able to run some low 12's with all that wrapped up...then maybe I'll talk about some heads

lata
Bill

 

well since i finally got a job i'll probably go with some headers, stronger clutch, and then a nice 125 dry shot

Can't wait
