:D :D :D Finally on the road agian!
DIdnt make it to the show.. 20 miles from the track, i lost fuel presure.. only to fiddle with the thing for hours, eventually figuring out the damn car was outa gas.. Get this... $20 worth of 93 octane took me 75-80miles WTF.. talk about running rich!!
But hey, it runs and needs a bigger fan... Going to pull the HUGE AS* intercooler, in hopes of getting this thing to run cooler in traffic.

Pics from the gas station, and way to track...

Is that coil magically floating in the air? Only thing is that one line coming from the hood to the fuel rail. It looks out of place. Can you fish it through the rubber hood stripping and run it in the middle of the motor under the intake? Man it looks friggin awesome. I remember when I saw it in person. Just a block and k-member then. Good work Mike!
 
that sucks that you didnt make it to the track. You could have easily had best engine bay in the show along with many other awards.Theres always a next time though. You should trade your dad your prostars for his Saleen rims.
 
Every time I wash my car I think damn, this is a nice looking car. Then I see pics of yours and 94sc's and my car sucks again. Its a brutal circle. Seriously though, the kind of work that you two have done to your respective cars inspires the rest of us to work like hell on ours to try and bring them to that standard. Take a bow man!
 
thanks guys, atleats i can get an honest answer from you guys on how it looks... would have been nice to make the show though.

Yea, i borrowed my pops Saleen wheels for a day. I love em, but dont think the offset on the fronts. They are better suited for the 99+ body style IMO..


For the guys wondering where the wires and extra crap went.. Alot has been relocated to the inner fenders, battery in trunk, and the rest has been yanked.. Body work has been molded, and holes filled in.

That camera you used is $$$. :nice:
I thought the same thing. I was like how the hell is he moving and it looks like he's stopped at the same time.

Oink, that's awesome work. Absolutely incredible. I do not have the patience or attention to detail you have. Excellent job.

Next step is... Pull intercooler, run a straight pipe for the time being, and see if it helps with getting airflow to the radiator.

Get some subframe conectors, bigger fan, new longer fuel line ( for the guage) to hide it better, make Stainless cover for the turbo ( out of a cooking pot, ahah, works great), new coil, and make a cover for that..
