RRIIIIGGGHHHHHTTTTTTTT.
(Sad thing is, he's telling the truth)

This Winter I have quite a few "bling mods" (Chrome VC's, polished intercooler/radiator tank, etc). Big ones already in the garage are the full MM suspension, Level 5 half shafts and other "undisclosed " power mods.

Only think left to buy before the winter thrash is my big brake kit..... still narrowing it down.

You finally get smart and decide to ditch that KB for a real blower, a Whipple?

03 Cobra interior
Viper Spec T56 w/ Mcleod twin disk
Bullseye S380 Turbo with Race cover
Team Z full suspension front and back
Trickflow R upper box intake
AIS Water/Meth kit dual nozzels
96lb injectors

Retune and enjoy the car

Parts are already being ordered, and should have everything delivered by 16 October when I return home.

Looking for around 800+ rwhp on 92 pump gas and water/meth, wish me luck

Hey did you ever find anyone to take that one single Cobra seat off your hands?

Oh and what am I doing over the 9 months of darkness? Might do a fuel system on the V8 car and she needs some new QTPs. Might paint the cage seeings how the "gun blueing" isnt so blue anymore. Might get some more drag oriented rear control arms on it and donate the Hotchkis arms that are on it to the 4 banger car.
The 4 banger car is going to finally get the rack, caster/camber plates, and bump steer kit thats been sitting on the shelf for who knows how long.

This list is subject to change however.

I still have the single race seat, but it's not a Cobra seat. The seat is a Forza seat from Corbeau in black cloth. Link:

Corbeau: Forza

Will be selling this with the seat bracket. Also will be selling the below items:

Corbeau Forza seat with bracket (Black)
72lb Injectors
Trick Flow R Upper intake
T76 Q-trim Turbo
Complete C4 setup (everything to bolt in and drive)
Stock Cobra suspension items
and maybe a Aeromotive sump tank / Eliminator fuel pump.

But will not post a for sale add till the parts are off the car ready to ship/pick up.

Back to a standard transmission, eh. Was the C4 just not streetable?

Actually the C4 was very streetable, doing 70mph on the freeway I would cruise at 2100 rpm +/- this is with 3.27's out back. Honestly I miss shifting, and would like to have overdrive again. 6 Speed with 3.27's @ 70 mph is around 1700 rpm +/-

I will miss the low ET's becuase we all know a Auto will ET better than a Manual 90% of the time, but my MPH will be a little higher with the manual. It will be hard to compare numbers since I will be adding a good amount of power during this change also

Mostly I just want to rock a 6 speed now, already did the TKO 5 speed and the C4.

I know exacty what your felling

killrb · Oct 1, 2008

Getting the '87 turbo car up and running is the main goal. The only set back is that I might have to have that 10 point cage re-done, as it interfers with my interior panels. Not sure on that one yet.

The '08 needs some graphics to make it stand out from all the other orange GTs running around and I would really like to get my long tube headers and converter.

Now if I could just find the money!!!

Winter project is a full IRS rebuild, gear/diff/axle swap, bump steering, and a tune.

DOFOXHC · Oct 4, 2008

1ST..Im going to get the 93gt back on the road....after that I'm unsure, its either going to be putting the turbo system on the 92 notch or putting the 514/c6 in the 86 notch along with mini tubs and a cage.....come on tax return!!!!

cobradvm · Oct 4, 2008

Time for a torque arm and panhard bar - gotta keep those 911s in their place

97speedster · Oct 4, 2008

Well I am doing cosmetic changes is all for now. Here are some I started today with before and after pics:

Before side stripe

After

Before CAI

After

Next will be new headrest and tinted windows which will be done next week sometime. Also am working on some new winter rims which when I get back to work I can buy tires for.

97speedster · Oct 11, 2008

Well it took me all day but finally got the window tinting done and new headrest installed....

SMOKEDYA · Oct 12, 2008

looking pimp! what headrests are those? peace

john

97speedster · Oct 12, 2008

The headrest are from a mid 80's Mustang found them on e-bay dirt cheap.

Turbo92PGT · Oct 12, 2008

Getting retuned. Just put in a new heater core. Would like to buy some new headlights because mine are getting dull. Would like to put new axles in the rear and new axle bearings/seals. I'm so sick of my rear end being an oil slick all the time. Possibly a quick polish job and coat of wax. I need to get a winter beater, because its too cold to ride my ZX10 and im averaging 13mpg lol

fiveohwblow · Oct 13, 2008

I just created a pair of screamers and its time to really see what they are made of....

Wife is preggo with twin girls due in December. No fun five oh mods this year

I have identical twin girls that are seven years old now - they're the apple of their daddy's eye, but that first 6 months was just a blur from severe sleep deprivation.

Congrats (I think!).

Awesome! That is exactly what we are having. Identical twin girls. Good thing is I only require about 4 hours of sleep each night so that part I have covered... I hope!

Thanks!

frank91lx · Oct 17, 2008

I have 2 major projects in the works. The 91LX is getting a major makeover with all new wiring, carpet, and seats due to a rat getting into it while it was in storage. The new engine and tranny are built just waiting to go in. I am cleaning up the engine compartment in the process.

The second is putting a 302/C4 in my ranger. Here is a picture of the truck. Trying to decide if I should paint it or not.

Turkey Sammich · Oct 17, 2008

No project for me this fall or winter. Leaving for Iraq next year and plan on selling the fox. But I'll have something nice to replace it with.
