Winter Mods Spill the Beans....

[allgo]

Just wondering what everyone was starting to do on there piles..to compete I think 5.40s or faster next year I would think for the win..I am putting a turbo 400 in my car so I think my broke tranny days will be over..

[Deimos]

I want a running car again

[Scott]

Im going to figure out how the hell to wire in 2 stages of nitrous with a new ignition box, a bunch of plumbing for nitrous and fuel.

Then I think Im going to actually finish building the dam chopper thats been sitting in the garage collecting dust for a few months, I dont think this building stuff and fabricating will ever end!!

[Deimos]

Once you figure yours you can come do mine for some cash (I hate wiring)

[Ricky]

winter tires... then keep driving. My car was made for this season :)

[Drifte]

100k maintenance and new tires are done. I have no winter project other than to drive through the worst road conditions I can find.

Oh, and get that snowboard roof rack attachment.

The laser I don't care about taking out in the snow like I did the talon.
I only allowed myself to play in the talon 2 times.

I'd just like to get it running before serious snows so I can have some fun this year.

[AutoMods]

Anything getting done to the corvette?

I plan to do a cam, e85, maybe a solid rear end with a higher gear ratio. Move my air filter out of the engine bay, maybe an intercooler if the e85 and cold air intake don't cool IAT's down.

Im not touching that car, like to be able to get in it when ever I want, so once you start fucking with it you are always working on it..lol

[85XR7Project]

Dream about having a project again. God I need a better paying job.....

[sparkles]

Interior is ripped out. Should be off to get the cage built for it as soon as they guy gets room in his shop. He's been working on a Fairlane for 3 times longer than he said it would take. Figured it'd be done by now, but I"m not in a hurry I guess. New motor is assembled sitting on the engine stand. Needs injectors and a TB ordered still, but I'm probably gonna rip the heads back off and take the studs out and have it re machined or something. Put in Cometic MLS gaskets, but after talking to a few guys, I'm not gonna take the chance of having the heads not seal up. Might as well do it while it's sitting on a stand.

Other than that, paint is on the to do list, but don't think it'll happen this winter. Also need Kville to order me a D1SC kit.

What car do you have sparkles?

[Krumm]

back dragging cutting edge and wings.


i really dont belong on a 'car' site anymore.

[sparkles]

What car do you have sparkles?
Only decent pic I got. I figured everyone knew already.

I bought some Vette Y2Ks for it a little while ago and just recently found some spacers. They're gunmetal. Those will be on next year too.

glad you never sold it, I love 3rd gen T/A's

[sparkles]

Yeah, I'm partial to them too. This is TA #5 for me. Kinda getting to know them all too well. The last one was as fast as it was going to be in a straight line with a full interior, stereo, AC, etc without spending a lot of money. I figured it was all the farther I wanted to take it. I got to drive a few pretty BA cars a buddy of mine dad's owns out at MAM a couple years ago, and it made me want to build something that would be a good road coarse car if I choose to go that route, so that's what I'm kinda after this go around. After I build, play with a while, and eventually get rid of this, I'm going to switch it up I think. I've been wanting to do a Turbo SN95/302 for a while. We'll see. I'm getting bored with the hobby in some respects though. After I finally talked myself into getting a bike again, I've spent more time with that than anything...plus remodeling the house of coarse.

yeah i hear ya
I'd probably still be rocking my third gen with just the body issues fixed / smoking fixed right now if it wasn't for riding in some quick cars of my friends. I kind of wish I almost never would of. I'd be a lot richer :P

[Domestic Disturbance]

were you asking what everyone was doing this winter, or just 10.5 people?

And ya sparkles I've seen that, I just thought you had sold it. Nice to see you still have it.

1000 rwhp will break about any trans, th400 included. Other issues which will remain secret broke one of the C4's. You can go plenty fast with one, just not one that's built by anyone local. That's where they get a bad reputation....

BTW my brother has a SN95 for sale, got a complete 347 for it, fresh C4 trans, just had a bunch of work done on it from H+W. ALOT of good parts included but not really geard toward a turbo setup, I was going to do a standard rebuild on the engine with only new bearings, pistons, rings, gaskets etc but I dont think he can afford it.

Yeah i know. Im just given Joe crap! Its funny when i was thinkin about building a C4 everyone told me i was crazy and to build a TH400 haha I think you were even in on the conversation!

[snickerlicker]

Not me I like C4's, if I was gonna do a GM trans it would be a glide....

[Batwood]

My winter mods include an AEM boost guage and a new air filter! :neener:

what about the turbo setup?

[DustinsDuster]

i'd be pretty psyched if i could get my truck started and take a spin around the block.

[JacobS]

um...swap out my old and tired single cam engine for a turbocharged dohc engine and a better trans. thats about it.

[Scott]

eww, shoulda got that nice 95 GT thats for sale and saved your Hodaka for gas mileage like it was made for

[JacobS]

yea yea yea...im mainly just trying to make the car more appealing for a buyer. nobody wants to buy a car with 260k+ on it. i would like to get rid of it and then go the v8 route...but until then ill just have a little fun with my shitbox torque-less wonder.

lol. Jacob, I'd avoid turboing that car. I think you'd enjoy it a lot more n/a. Not have to worry about so much stuff. Do you already have a motor for it?

[JacobS]

if i was to build a car NA, then i wouldnt have chosen a honda.

but yes i do, its a b18a1. nothing to fancy.

Oh yeah... that too!
Motor is ready to go together again.
Gotta figure out the trans next.

[Jappbox]

Im doing some new Catch cans, new plugs and custm plug wires, some intake filters and oil change.

[OldSkoolRCR]

Im doing NOTHING, its free!

[Clinical]

We more southeastern IA people down here are planning to use Cordova's Jan 1st Hangover Fest as our Daily day - all going to go race our daily drivers haha, although I'm still considering taking the laser for shits and giggles just to see if I pick up any mph because I can just imagine how much I'll spin now with how much I spun last time on the warmer track.

[sparkles]

I guess my winter mods started last night. Got some tires for the wheels. Got em mounted this morning. Also started taking the motor apart. It'll be back together tomorrow.

2011: Make money being a contractor, maybe have something to talk about by September. Depends on if I pass the CPA the first time. I'll at least re-paint my calipers. That adds like 10 horsepower right?
