Where did you find that spoiler? I've been looking for one forever for mine. I found one before on a car that had been sitting around 10 years in some guy's back yard. He wouldn't come off of it even after I offered $120.

 

I bought it here on the forums from Nick1 for $100

 

Engine's in, suspensions on, all that's left is the brakes and fuel system.

 

looking good. how mush for the ISC springs and adjusters?

 

$50 each for the adjusters, $48 each for the springs. So about $300. I opted for the 350lb fronts and 150lb rears, but they're all the same cost regardless of size or rate.

 

Back again to bother you all with updates.

I've opted for an FC front-mount oil cooler, since the beehive is more of an oil warmer than anything. It's big and sexy =D The car is currently waiting for a carb rebuild kit, then it will get some wideband A/F tests to determine correct jetting.

Here are a couple of pics with the suspension on. I never realized just how much better looking the car looks lowered until I did it to my own lol In these pics the front is lowered close to max and the rear is somewhere around 1/2 way down on the coilovers. Corner-weighting will determine the final height settings.

 

Guess what? Ran into money problems again. But, 3 1/2 months later, here I am! And it's running! Got a short crappy video to prove it too

Good job getting it running. Great looking car

 

Kool Looks Great.

 

Sounds healthy, post a vid running through the gears.

 

this is what i love to see - on any level, whether it's the mega-horsepower turbo builds or basic grassroots-level builds. i love to see people realize their dreams. i love that drop - great improvement in the "looks" department. how does it feel though? also, that streetport 12A sounds mean. can't wait until it's all broken in and you can report on how it performs when tuned.

congrats!

 

Weeeell, it doesn't actually move yet =P The shifter isn't in. Also, it's not tuned yet and is super lean, so I don't want to take it out anyway. I've got to do a wideband so I can get a ballpark of what size jets I need before ordering them. I don't have the cash to just buy a slew of them and start testing away.

It should also be mentioned that this is a bit more than a streetport. This is what the engine builder stated is the most agressive, but most refined, non-bridge/peripheral 12a port enlargement he's ever done. The closest (slightly less agressive) 12a he's done is making over 200hp with a Weber 48. It's been heavily abused (the owner seriously does his best to blow the thing up) in at least 4 NASA races and over a dozen autocrosses without encountering any problems. So I'm excited to see how it does

Unfortunately, I'm 150 miles away in college, completely broke, and can't really make much of any advancement on the project until at least Christmas. I doubt I'll be able to get insurance until summer vacation, so the real fun is still a looong way off.

 

well thats a bummer u have to wait till next summer
