Help me spend my money......
OK, here's the deal. I recently came into some money and have no idea what else to spend it on. I need ideas. I don't need a rebuild yet, and will set enough aside to cover that, but have no idea what else to do with it. And NO, you can't have it, unless you have a nice car you are willing to part with, hehe. Here is a list of what I have done to the car so far;
New tires on stock rims RB full exhaust MSDDFLIS or whatever MSD wires new plugs, cap, rotor all new vacuume lines all new ground/power wires new alternator new brakes (calipers/rotors/pads) front and rear put all new fluids in tranny and diff put sound deadening throughout and upgraded sound system what am I missing here guys? |
s stearling carb would be a good one
|
I forgot about those. Any idea what he is charging?
|
i have a real nice mikuni 44 i'd sell ya.
gslse susp? lsd? come shopping at midwest 7's. :) oh and btw, think you'll make it to the fall bbq? |
I have a gsl rear end ready to go on. Does the mikuni retain the choke? This is my ride year round and the choke comes in handy. If it does, hell yes I want it.
So far, I should be able to make it again, hopefully nothing comes up. |

yes it has a choke. i also just rejetted it for stock port 12a.
pm me if interested. |
what about some springs/shocks?
|
Just put KYB shocks on, Am looking at Racing Beat springs, any other suggestions for springs.
|
I'd go with Racing Beat springs, either that or Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I can't remember which one is softer, but if you are using it year round it will probably be a better idea to go with the softer ones.

hmmm.... since I work for a railroad, that could be useful info. thanks guys Will start looking for Eibachs.

sounds like youve got a solid car. i would definately look into a new induction system though. do a lot of research, before you pick a carb though. if you can get a deal on the mikuni, that would be good, otherwise, i would look into a sterling, or maybe a weber. you will need a fuel pump, and regulator as well.
or hell, maybe just save it. you might need it later. i always like to have a little to fall back on, or have incase a sweet deal comes along, so i dont get burned. also, have you considered rims/tires? |

I would ditch the idea of new brakes and new alternator rebuilt ones will look and preform as good as a new one this is how my rebuilt calipers look like and these calipers were sitting on the ground on a junk yard
|
those are all things he has already done...
|
haha ... i retrieve what i said ... poly bushings all around then ... probably a new idler arm too .
|
Not a bad idea with the bushings and linkage. I have yet to replace anything in the steering linkage. I know some are probably due toe be replaced. Thanks guys
|
Grab yourself a Racing Beat front sway bar. Runs about 150.00 shipped and is well worth the money for the improvement it provides. And yes to the Sterling carb (runs about 350.00 last I checked and get on it now if you want it by spring due to the waiting list) and the fuel pump/fpr.
|
hooker and a bunch of coke!
|
so how long is the waiting list on a sterling carb anyway?
|
Depending on how much you got how about a turbo??
|
got plenty to do it, but would like to stay NA at this time. I'm kinda partial to my RB header. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't temp me everytime that I start my car. That would be a big NO to NOS as well.

|

|
You're not too far away, drive it up to St Joe. I'll be happy to go through the car and take your money. :)
