Alright, would you consider your car loud?

Cause i have LTs, no cats and it really dosnt seem loud to me. Perhaps Im one of thoes people who like waking the dead. lol

Saw a picture of a set of stock rims painted flat/semi gloss black and it made them look really good.....I think ill be doing that to mine as well...cause they look like crap now, and ill have another set of rims off the doner car I'm getting. So if they look bad, then no split milk.

Klab wanna sand blast some rims for me :) :wookie:

Pictures of my car and the donor car. First 4 are mine, third picture shows the damage of when the previous owned when curb hopping, and 4th shows the rust before the gas door.
Some mild paint dmg on the hood, gonna grab some touch up paint. Doors are crank windows and will be replacing my heavy power doors.

Nice find

Maybe this week if I have time I'll let you know. Gonna be busy getting ready for puerto rico on saturday!

:klab: :foshizzle:

for 400 bucks it was a steal, car has rust on it so after i strip it it will get junked, but for matching color bumper hood and fenders, and some other odds and ends it was worth it.

Oh and new wheels, i think they look much better then my stockers, i just have to make sure my tires will fit

Donor car has 235 55 16
My car has 245 50 16

Should work right?

I mean putting my 245s on the rims that have the 235 on them currently.

Oh shit, enjoy. is this the internship?

yes the tires will fit. the 235s are stick V6 tires. my car came with them originally. Good find, bet yah cant wait to a have a car All in one color, i know i was excited!!!!

LS1 AirBox
 

Just a few quick pics of my ls1 airlid mod. I had to cut a small notch in the upper frame rail. I''ll have pics of that added when i move my rad.

Hood was junk, just wanted to make it work on that day. Sheet metal was to thin, and was bending.

I don't need to move the rad much, and if you had a cowl hood you wouldn't need to clearance much if at all.

You can see where i tried to make it seal using some nylon rope and foam gasket stuff cause the sheet metal was bending, bad planning on my part. Thicker sheet metal will fix the problem.

Shows how far the run is into the tb. around 6 inches from back the lid

Shows how much i need to move the rad to make it clear a stock hood. not much.

you do know a real LS1 non ram air rad support will sit lower then that right? it still bumps the hood. but Not as bad as that. what are your plans for moving the "air box" down? if it were me and you were adament about down a from mount cold air and Not going cowl hood id get a "vette" front pipe.

I've looked at pics of the rad support, I don't see how it will sit any lower, the lids bolted to my upper frame rail, same place the ls1 rad support would be.

All i need to do is drop the back end of the lid down the couple inches. I'm gonna drop the rad down and inch or so and move the base of the rad to the front of the car about an inch, so i can get the rad sat down at a little bit more of an angle, and drop the height needed to clear a stock hood.

If you have a free cowl hood laying around ill take it and not cut anything but, stock hood is what i got, so Im gonna make it work. lol

Also the vette front pipe will require another air filter, and then the cuppling. Already have my ls1lid and k&n knock off.

But remember pizza, i did this is about 2 hours, with no real planning lol I ran out of time R&Ding and slapped it together cause it was my DD at the time.



And yea, the parts arnt 100% but ill just touch it up with some touch up paint and you wont notice unless you really nit pick my car, and youll find A LOT wrong if you do that lol

seems like alot of work to just not buy a cowl hood?

The cost of hood(200-500) vs the cost of moving the rad support...well say 15 bucks in metal to be safe. Not worth it in my book. I'm just trying to get some green parts back on my car. When you guys see my car you will understand, I dunno what the opposite of a trailer queen is but thats what my car is gonna become. Id just like to have a matching front end again. lol

Id invest in a nice fiberglass cowl. You get the benefit of weight reduction and the space for ur lid. Just my 2 cents

then what id do is put a stock air box Type setup on the car even an Ebay cold air for 15 bux works well. and then wen you can save for all the right pieces of the puzzle. install the lid if you so desire. thats my suggestion.

Rinsed if off really quick cause it was covered in pollen...just need to get the hood on and some touch up paint and will be good as used... :wookie:

:edit: oh and a wash and wax will be done soon. Its really dirty... lol

looks SOOOO much Better!!!!

Your telling me, once the hood gets put on it will look alot better to. Still need to get some touch up paint and comver some scratches but its not half as bad as it was. Just need to get the new wheels transfered over and will look alot better to I think.

Nice! Can't wait to see it finished

Random question, where did people get their helmets and or how much did you pay for them.

I might not need one the first time at the track but, when i put 555rs on Id think ill break 14s. Id prefer to have one just in case so I don't get one run and then cant run again lol :wookie:

Thanks in advance!

i just use my snowmobile helmet but jegs and summit sell open face helmets for drag racing. whatever you do make sure you get a snell 2005 approved helmet, snell 2000 wont pass tech next year

Oks! i knew about the snell code, just seeing where i should/could get one.

i thought i read somewhere that they made it snell 2005 and up now for this season

thats what he said dumbass!! lol

they are still saying snell 95 is ok. it all depends on who you get for tech. they sed the same shit last year and ron went up and with the same m95 helmet passed. but id say get the newest helmet you can. and dirtbike and street bike helmets(thats what i use) are cheap enough.

Some street bike helmets are not Snell stamped, I know mine isn't

found a white snell 2010m one on summit for like 130. I'm getting a full face tho, I know its gonna be hot blah blah, but, if something goes wrong, i don't want my whole face exposed...

yeah thats why i run my street bike full face with no shield.

I prefer to be safe then sorry. Part of winter mods are gonna be roll cage and 5 point harness before i start moding for serious power. I want to walk away from that one freak accident I have....

They let me run with the snell 95 helmet that day but said I need to get a snell 2005 or newer before I could run again. I ended up buying a M2005 helmet for 150 from summit.

Yea, so prices went down haha, m2010 for like 130. its just a plain white one. I plan on finding a white racing suit also so I can be the Stig for Halloween. :)

Stig is AWESOME!!!

Well, some of you know i bought my 95z28 back. The tunas back.

the drivers side crank is totally effed, im talking the assembly that moves the window up and down that you attach the window crank to. anyone ever messed with one? gonna atempt to atleast block my window up, its 3/4 down and gets chilly lol.

should/can i replace that piece or should i find another door and pop it on?

whats wierd with the crank windows is that window is spread rivited to the assembly so youd have to drill them out and get new ones or bolt it back with soem SHROT button heads. it can be done and its not that difficult. i can help you if it was warmer or you had a heated garage to do so! haha but in this weather my balls would literally freeze and fall off......

What do you need those for? :poke:

I'm not so worried about doing it, more of how hard is it really.

Any clue on what the part # is? Wonder if they even still make em lol

Googel f body window motor replace or see a web:poke: site called shoebox lt1 help you out with pics

Its not an electric one, but ill give it a hoot, and im much aware of shboxs site, its saved me a few times lol.

i was trying to be lazy see if anyone know off the top of their head lol

Well, random update, window fixed its self, I can move it up and down again, so.....if it screws up again I'll just be buying a new door lol


Also going to pick up Mikes(941le) old zr1s, so gonna have some mismatched fronts and rears lol

KLab, you think if I did the black paint on stock rims(and trying to copy the silver lip) it would look good with the black and sliver liped zr1s?

I'll post some pictures up as soon as I get home and put em on!

Its been 15 minutes were the fuck are the pics buddyyyyyyy???????

What are you kidding, can you not read?

Going to pick up, as in pre-tense, not "I've already GONE".... I havn't left yet!

dick :zfreie:


lol
