B/w School, work and life's b.s. that gets thrown at you finally after 7 months its complete! Thought the car was going to take forever but as soon as I got in my friend's shop (KING BEAR OF DEER PARK), and his assistance as well as the other mechanics that work there, stuff really started to get done! As soon as I got it in the shop it took me about a week to finish! The car pulls hard but its screaming for some fuel upgrades, which will come within the next month or so. I know I am getting pulled over, the exhaust is LOUD AS HELL and you can obviously smell I am not running a cat! Also, I decided to keep the FMIC polished as well as the BOV to loud! When the car sits at idel, I rev this this thing to 6k that RFL BOV screams! My top priority right now is to get it to my buddies house where a Turbo timer and Alarm is waiting for me (YOUR NOT STEALING HER). I don't see myself doing much work with her anytime b/c of the fact I have the OPPORTUNITY to own a 1970 Corvette with a brand new worked 350 and a brand new worked 4 speed Transmission, Hooker Headers, Hookers Exhaust. The car needs paint and complete interior. But its runs and is driven as we speak. The person who I am possibley purchasing it from wanted to make it all fiberglass interior and crap with autometer guages (which he has installed) But I want o make that thing stock again! Kinda messed up but It's my friend's Grandfather Corvette that was given to him when He passed away. But due to some tickets and possibility of not affording the Vette, His Civic ( his insurance could be 12,000 a year). I am not going to lie I am more excited about the Vette then the end result of the turbo. I always wanted a 1979 Trans Am with Olds 440 in it, but I am 21 yrs old and the price of that thing is a lil exspensive for me but for 4 grand I will take home this Vette and finish it with time! Give me some time I will postpics of both cars. The car is at my buddies shop and I gotta sneak it home (no insurance, no plates) but that will be hard, cuz its so damm loud! Just funny how things are, as soon as I finsih this project, I am about to get into another one and I am truely excited about it! I will know by March 1st whether this car is mine or not.
Whats I've done to it, new Cobalt series guages, cf hatch cover, other small things like Polished FMIC, Turbo, all that other B.S.!
Dyno and some tuning will be done as soon as I work out a few kinks!
So BBOX? How are we doing this for the summer? Are we gonna post dyno stats? Drag times? Meet somewhere for this? NY to Ill is a little to far for me and you so how about some dyno stats compare and contrast and track stats?
