I have recently found out i am able to go on a commercial fishing trip to the alaska area and will be making over 20 grand for a few weeks work. of course ALL THIS MONEY is going into my 87 n/a.

So i want suggestions and opinions about everything i'm thinking of getting. Will take all kinds of citicism and input. the more the better because the better my car gets is a tribute to you guys.


Engine-Pineapple-large streetport

Larger secondary injectors and possibly a larger set of primaries-suggestions on size and of course a s-afc goes with it. unless a haltech would be that much better.

Fuel Pump-Suggestions

Tranny-suggestions TII perhaps?

Clutch-Dunno i suck at clutches help PLEASE!

Brakes-unsure on company but 5 lug cross drillend and slotted rotors with upgraded 4 piston calipers.

Stainless Steel brake Lines

Geraing- more top end is what i'd like

Forced induction-Turbo or supercharger i have not decided yet. If none of these N2O will be going in.

Seats- Recaro Racing

Redoing all interior Black

Paintjob-Black

Headlights-suggestions please

Hood- Undecided but not a TII hood.

Radiator-K2RD

That's about all i can think of right now. and guys thats a ton for your input and criticism in advance. the way i look at it the better this car gets is a tribute to you guys. i will be taking lots and lots of pictures and documenting everything i do to my car so i can do a big write up to show off and also help out anybody with my expirence gained by this project.

Also any unique ideas for Betty that you think would be neat to see please let me know. Who knows i might really take to a cool and unconventional idea that people haven't tried yet.

Peace

 

buy a turbo II... and spend the left over $13k or so on that....

 

Yeah i know.... i know..... that's not really the point of my project though . My project is to gain expirence on na's.


Good news is i might be able to go on more than one trip. so i'm gonna wait on the TII for now. but maybe i'll get the urge to grab one down the road.

 

go with the compleate t-o4 turbo system, fmic,take the n/a hood and get a few reverse scoops done on it to draw heata away from you radiator,get the hks dogbox transmission, definlty go with a haltech, ummm did i miss anything guys????

 

Hey, do they need any help? id be willing to take a few weeks off from school, pm or email me if they need the help =]

oh yeah, what are you doing again?

 

commercial fishing in alaska. i'm not sure on exactly when yet i find that out tomorrow or tuesday but i just talked to im and he said i'd make at least 20k and i'll mention it to him and tell you what he says.

i wish i could go to alaska, we flew over it on teh way to japan and lets say it looked like a dream. pure white flat snowy plains with mountains in the far distance, with NOTHING in any directing.

you are luck

 

Alaska makes Colorado look like a dump (no offense, CO guys ).

I am not sure I would want to be stuck fishing up there for a month, but hey, each to his own.

Marlaman, Give your n/a a good paint job, and keep it beautifully stock. buy a TII and mod the hell out of it. you can thank me later

i need more input please

remeber how good my car is reflects of you guys :-)

 

As long as Rob @ Pineaple is building your engine. Have him build you a MIATA Geared tranny. Slip in a CUSCO LSD. Buy the K2RD AGX coil-over package. Ditch your rust-infested MN car and come pick up a rust-free southern body to start with.

 

Make your N/A your beater, buy a TII, and make it whomp

 

I say go all out HP Monster, but make it a sleeper, i say make it the right way also, buy a good tub, paint it, install Only what you need, but do a full enterior, massively over powred motor and a beffy tranny, proper suspension, spend some money on a driving school, buy some beater slicks, take me for a ride, or let me borrow the car,
