I'm done with autos as well, nothing but issues. But I don't want to drag race, I want to run a road course.

 

just stock springs & cheap autozone struts. ive had nothing but traction problems since i got the car. really hoping the trick springs help a ton. (pun intended).

 

Haha definitely don't need another car. I'm gonna get a 96-99 vortec engine and take it from there.

 

Engine and transmission are out again, lol. Had to get a part from Will and put it in the tranny pump since he accidentally left it out. I also forgot the Torque Arm mount, so that justified it being pulled out again, as well.

 

Great job Will.

 

I was just thinking, if you're planning on 5-speed swapping it, would you be interested in selling the 700r4 tranny cooler lines and cooler?

 

I would. I was gonna use the cooler for oil, but I'd rather not fight that battle.

You've ridden in the car, so you know how it shifts.

 

Hit me with a price for the fittings, lines, and cooler.

 

Will do. Just a FYI, this would be entirely contingent on nobody buying the car within the week. I don't mind pulling the trans out of the car since I don't drive it lol.

 

well guys, i lost my first race in the iroc today. one of the SRT's got me by about 2 car lengths. i did beat one of them, but im disappointed of course. traction is a joke. i cant use more than 50% throttle in 1st and half of second. time to sort this suspension out. never used the bottle. no point. so i drop to #2 on our local "list". very pizzed off.
the beating; head hung low in shame.

 

There's no shame in losing, fix your traction issues and go back out again. SRT-4 are very quick cars, all of them are faster than our cars were stock.

 

^^^^ agreed. try letting some air out of the rear tires. if your doing a burnout, do a quick one .just enough to clean the tire. no more. street tires are made to resist heat. they don't get sticky, the get slippery.


man, your strip has ALOT of intersections.. that could get sketchy quick.

 

couldnt afford a burnout, cords hanging out of the drag radials. 22psi. 255/50/16's. total joke. i just looked and cords are hanging out of the side of the tires. they're a white color. wife told me to buy some used tires. she dont get it.

every side road is watched/blocked by others. any other car on the road and its instant abort. no winner.

 

anybody got butt-hurt lotion?

 

Go with a 275 or 295 width is probably part of your issue.
I hear Will does. LOL

 

you've made more passes than I have in 5 yrs...... pass the lotion

 

so anyone have any interest in some snowflake rims and tires from a ws6 gta ? i was thinking of selling them but i would rather a really quick sale.

 

wasn't Rubber Ducky looking for those?

 

I was, but if I end up keeping the car I'm going to 18"s.

 

Would any of you guys be interested in this setup?

 

I would be if I had $$.

 

Letting it go pretty cheap, $150.

 

How about a decent bird manual console? Also have a nice radio pod available with faceplate.

 

Saw this at a scrap yard today while getting rid of some old junk.

 

 

@Ducky,
HELL YEA!

 

I'm not really happy with them. But those 4 were the best ones. The rest were either blurry or just crap.

I might just put the Camaro back on the ins to use it for practice. The 4Runner isn't as exciting.

 

Well, my car looks amazing when blurry. Also when it's wet and your 40 feet away!

 

When were those pictures taken? Also, what's up with the bungie cord on wills front end?

 

4th of July, and the bungees are to allow more air under Will's car, something about the nose drooping down.

 

Man those cars look good! Nice camera Ducky. Btw found a vortec engine, but the shop delivered a 305 vortec instead of a 350. Should have the correct one by Wednesday. Didn't even know there was such a thing.

 

Yeah, my grandpa's old Silverado had a Vortec 305 lol. Next time we have a chance for everybody to bring their cars out you gotta come.

 

Do I gotta too? Still need to register it, buy tie rod adjusters, and then get it aligned.

 

Lol, my car isn't on the road either. I took it off the insurance to sell it. But apparently it won't leave. So I'm going to be pulling the motor/trans out some time soon.

 

Hey all, been a long time since i posted here. Sooo saying hey all. Heres a pic of how my baby currently looks. Still needs loads of work.

 

Looks like a good start!

i have no progress to report on my camaro after spending a few days in critical care. i got the news that none of us ever want to hear. i'm now terminal. so with that said, i'm gonna make every day a great one & count for something. wife wants me to sell my car. NO WAY!!!!

 

Well thats ****. You gotta do a burnout into the sunset now.

 

Still have them? How much? I'm selling my IROCs to Will and will need wheels for the car to roll on.

 

Sorry to hear man, I'll be thinking about ya.
-Gary

 

Sorry to hear that news bud! Its proven that burnouts prolongs life!!

 

I will take the stereo setup.

 

Anybody need anything?

 

im looking for a 90-92 steering column. it has to be those years. the wifes column is just done. I need a replacement. holler if you have one. im going to the yards next sat.

 

There's a guy parting a 91 RS here in FL in the classifieds.

 

like in a newspaper? they still make those? lol. thanks man. ill see if I can find it.

 

LOL. I posted in it a couple days ago. I'm wanting the chin off it.

So I put the car back on the ins, I wanted to drive it more than stare at it. I put the aluminum driveshaft I got from L98 in today, started raining before I could address the trans leak, but I'm thinking front pump seal, there's droplets of trans fluid on the oil pan.

 

So my carpet in my car was REALLY bad





And it smelled as bad as it looked. So I decided to rip it all out in between the rain (which ya'll know has been constant) to see how it looked.
The other reason, was that after seeing all of the problems that 84ls had, I wanted the security of knowing what the floorboards were like.



The backseat area is not too bad, but there is some superficial rust in the front floorboards, probably caused by one of the PO's exploded heater core.



My basic plan is to redo the interior with bedliner. Why? Because I like the bare look, and it comes in black. I know I have a ton of prepwork to do, and how to do it, but I have never used bedliner stuff before. Any of you guys have any brands to use or to avoid??
I think it'll look pretty cool with the textured black finish, and after i remove the rust, it should help prevent a return.

 

i've used the aresol spray on bedliner from duplicolor with good results on small parts. like an aluminum plate i fabbed after putting a b&m shifter in. the texture is very close to the original plastics. after fixing my cracked dash i sprayed it a few times too. most people wouldnt even know. sure cant give a recommendation on the floor. i think heat would be the biggest enemy? i have no carpet in my car and i can tell you the floor gets very hot after driving it a bit. floor mats help though.

is it ever gonna stop raining? geez.
