Bare Speed

hi Cable Are the headers ready yet?

We have done a ton of mods to our engine. Cam, heads, rods, etc. I will get some numbers off the dyno in a few weeks. I think we have too much power and not enough traction. If you need parts, I can order whatever you need. You can alwasy try summit or jegs. they are both good.

I had to stop work on this until afgter the trade show. No one can see it. we are doing all cosmetics now.

We are almost dont with our conversion, still needs lots of work but the car is running now. We have so many extra parts tha came off the engine and the doner car. I think we just about replaced everything. All the accessories w/ brackets, oil pan, water pump, camshaft and valve springs, valve covers Camaro converted gas tank ( we used a fuel cell). Has anyone else done this to thier car? Ill post some pictures soon so you can see our progress

still working on it. it seems to fit, but needs some mods

ill know how much after Nov 8

I agree with you. We are building this are and I am really enjoying it. Its the journey that is fun. Yes the car will be fun, but have a great time doing it.

I was looking at removing the press fitting and inseting a coil overs we have here in stock to do the testing. Its not the solution I am looking for but it does work. Its just something off the shelf with minor mods. Off the shelf with minor mods or spend a ton on other parts. Dont get me wrong there are lots of great produts out there, AZC TTT Beta and Ground Control. I like the TTT set up the best. Its simple and adaptable.

I think we can use a standard parts, such as Subaru coil over set up. only things that would need to be changed ar the top hats. The coilover set up is 22in vs stock 23. I know there are coil over conversions avalable that have weld in coilover by Ground Control and others. It seems it would saver lots of hassel in the future. Change the spindle and hub set up to fit 5x114.3 and we are done.

does anyone know how to contat them? I was looking for some carbon parts they offered. Hood and rear deck

I think we are over 27k already and we are doing all the work mostly. We have a blue Colbolt coolor from Alsa that looks amazing. The paint is 2k. We have about 2 weeks to get this on the road and to SEMA.

I have been looking doing some mods to the rear suspension. I was looking at some coilovers for a STI. I think we can make these work. We would have to use Techno tuning rear setup. Thier strut mount can be modified to accept the STI coilover. Doing this would solve tons of issues. Lots of companies use weld in coilovers. Not a bad set up, but not the best either.

Grats and you have very nice looking car!

You can spend as much as you want, but if you want to get the car running with no wild mods then you will save a ton. Car $600 rust free, no engine or trans. Doner car (Z28) 1999 with T-56. 2k. JCI parts $435 $600 $2000 $435 other needed parts lets say $500 total cost of running 240Z w/ LS1 and T-56 $3535 Dont get me wong, I dont think any one here did that. I dont even want to think about how much has gone in the car already. Our March pullie were 2k alone and not to mention all the other mods done to the engine, trans, rear end, suspension, etc.
