Mods for next year?
Since the new house I have to look at CHEAP/FREE mods!
-Ditch the stock v6 rear sway bar for a 24 mm hollow -pick up aluminum ls1 front brakes in place of v6 iron front ones (20+ lbs gone) -ditch heat system and piping (25+- lbs gone) -finish door panels -ditch door bars (12+ lbs gone) -look further into frame area (XX lbs gone) -ditch center console (5+ lbs gone) Money mods (these are maybe's): -Get true front runner tires (15+ lbs gone) -electric water pump (5+ lbs gone through removal of idler pulley and bracket) -Chome moly LCA's (15+ lbs) |
it's called a Viper Mod.

well alignment and snow tires now lol
then... finish ditching my a/c 4.10s torque converter headers maybe fiberglass hood + pins maybe BMR tubular lcas (those two maybes are from a car that wrecked, hood it being checked for any and all stree cracks etc... lcas we're not sure on their condition) then eventually... new drag radials, maybe on prostars when I round up enough cash skinnies on prostars, again when i round up enough cash meziere electric water pump and that's all I have planned for now |
****onwheels aka genie's next year mod - replace the beater w/ a new one..... mercedes :)

Lets see...
Hooker LT's, Coated. Magnaflow dual exaust Rally wheels with tires Clean out the KN filter for mo'powa!! Maybe get one of thoes fancy X-Tream tops. |
I'm still hooked on getting Arizona Speed & Marina Headers with a 3" ORY.
I asked for a short-throw for christmas, but we'll see how that goes. Defenitly going to get a Fiberglass hood w/ hoodpins LS1 rear brakes Tinted windows 15% Sides, 5% Hatch Touch up paint! Install the SS Spoiler Install the Berger Panel Install Shift-Light Some real racing seats Rear-Seat Delete G2 Harness Bar Camaro Floor Mats Clean & Polish up the engine bay Mostly apperance mods, so I could rock out the car show circuit next year. |
Harness bar?
Oh and I forgot that sometime in teh somewhat near future my trans is gettin built up |

Yep LG Harness bar, it goes across where the back seats would be. Im going to use it to mount a camera mostly. HOPEFULLY I can try a few auto-X events and put a harness into use with some Sparco or Carbou seats. |

First off, get it to start lol. Its in the same spot in the garage as it was 2 or 3 weeks ago when it was towed. Once the semester is over I'd like to start to do some work on it. Its either the ignition module or the fuel pump. Then after I get it to start, over the winter I'd like to...
Stuff I can do with little or no money: -buff/polish my wheels -fix surface rust and repaint under the car/rear/suspension parts -fix rust in the engine bay on the wheel wells -finish removing the A/C -setup a new belt routing (I'll only be running the Alt., crank, PS, and water pump) Stuff I will have within a few weeks that I can do: -install my SFC's -install LCA's -install LCA relocation brackets Stuff to buy: -New rear tires..looking at the BFG G-Force T/A DR's -parts from a friend (MSD ignition box, pulleys, and maybe, maybe roller rockers and a hypertech chip) ~Ted |
top on my list: getting my car to run right :)
Appearance: pontiac black out letters (already ordered) WS-6 hood Dual Twin Tips Other: magnaflow cat-back tuning torque converter (hopefully) & tranny cooler boxed LCAs and other suspension |

wheels tires weatherstriping windshield all new lights 3.42 rear out of JW's car with a ta performance cover on it full pressure to front brakes and a wildwood prop. valve for the back hooker long tube headers demon carb msd non computer controlled distb meziere electric water pump edelbrock endurashine manifold and the greatest of all ripping out the pcm and all the wireing that goes with it!!! o how i do hate wireing. basically finishing up the car |
I'm hoping by spring to get a FRIGGIN DAY OFF so I can put mu clutch in (T/A is still dead from the Nats) then I am going to start working on my 5.0 LS1 turbo engine, hopefully have it together for a swap next winter in N/.A form with the turbo coming maybe in the springtime. Apart from that I am going to start plugging away at the 84, swapping over a bunch of parts from the formula (Nose, fenders, hood, hatch and rear bumper) and then just getting the suspension and chassis squared away so I can start doing weatherstripping to eliminate the leaks in the roof. If money isn't too tight I may put a mild crate engine it (possibly GM's new 290HP Cheapo special).
