he's an 89 lx, factory stock combo, stock cam, milled ported gt40x heads, typhoon intake and all the bolt on crap, it gets around 25mpg, very reliable so far, I just blew up the wc t5 I put in so thats crap

but the name comes from the looks dept lol.

I put the gt nose on it, so let me know what ya think...

"factory stock combo"? Those heads are illegal in factory Stock, as well as the intake...

:D

The GT bumper doesnt look all that bad, I debated it, but went Saleen.

yeah that pic does nothing for the car at all, I didnt know those heads and intake were illegal?

mine have been ported and supposedly flow in the 265-270 range, so its a dog until around 3k rpm, I need badly some 4.10's or a good huge cam either one lol or a big shot of nos..

and I finished off my t5 tonight lol
 
Slow - weren't you building a vert??


Anywhoo its practically Twins to mine like you said. Are you going to keep it white???

yep got done with it almost 2 months ago, and couldnt get it even inspected at a station in atlanta, and if I really wanted to mps would have let me go through them but it would have been $600 at the very least, not including gas and all the other fee's, and I dont have a truck or a trailer. and one of my friends had this one for sale, and it was nothing when I got it, I had it 3 hours put the engine/trans/new lights and had started stripping all the crap out of it, the next day I did the dash swap with (89 car tilt column, 93 dash and wiring but kept the column, so no horn right now) my vert and got my engine harness in put in my heater box (didnt come with one) and put it all back together, next day I had off, I ran the fuel lines, got it running. Next day I went and put tag and insurance on it, and swapped the rears that morning, and drove it to bk_cauleys house about 25 miles away in the country with open shorty's lol
next day i put the exhaust on and drove it to class 60 miles away, and it runs sooo nice right now!!! 25 mpg, its a blast!!

3 weeks later without changing anything I went to pass a lady on the way to class and stripped off 5th gear (ran 4th up to like 4500) and I rode back to the house 30 miles in 4th and a 300 ft from my house it totally blew finally and I had bk pull me home, so Im without wheels for a little bit but here in bout a week it should be done..

SO! not bad for 5 days of work eh? pretty damn relaible for a 19 year old car...

lol sorry for the long post..
 
Needs lowered ASAP. I love the nose but they look 100% better with Cobra fender extensions on an LX.

ah ha!! thats what im looking for, im lowering it asap, its not realy that high my drive is on a hill so it puts the load on the front.

but I was thinking of just cutting off the scoop and smoothing it like the cobra's...

I thought of your 85 when I did this lol, only mines an aero nose lol

If i had an aero coupe, that's what i would've done too :nice:

Either that or like 25th said, a Saleen valance looks great too. IMO, the lower you make it with that nose, the better it's going to look...it'll have that low air dam look. Some 17s to fill out the wheel wells will help a lot too. I actually got the inspiration for my car from John Lindsey's American Iron Extreme car (also the Griggs "Old Blue" coupe), which is an aero nose GT with the side skirts removed and an LX rear bumper. I wanted to keep my car a 4 eye so i found the '82 nose.
