Finally mounted the dash panel we started months ago, just needs a coat of plastidip to finish it off.

 

Looks great Mark!

 

Whats that on your mirror?

 

Valentine one display, here is a example of someone else's

 

Now that is pretty cool. They make mirrors for all types of radar detectors. You can even display your gauges in the mirror as well:

Online Store

Not sure I'd want to look up at the mirror to see my gauges but pretty neat regardless.

 

It's good for the detector because then you can permanently conceal it and put the display where sometimes a compass is displayed. No-1 thinks twice typically or asks at car shows. I did not buy mine from them, those prices are high I got mine from some independent person on ebay few years back for under a $100.

 

In the states that it is illegal to have a detector, can you simply **** it off and the policement would not be able to detect with his special hand held unit the fact that you have a radar detector installed in your car? In my case they two the car if they discover it or detect that you have some sort if a radar detector.

I appreciate the info

Thank you

Andrew

 

Added a check valve in for my brake booster finally lol


mounted the gm3bar so it's ready for higher boost on e85 once we get the transmission back


Finally got unlazy and painted the coilpack relocation stuff

 

Rebuilding the other pair of 17in oz mitos(8.5in) I have for a street tire rear. 8.5in barrel and 2.5in lip for a 11in overall width, measured everything before I bought parts rim fits right where I measured it to be. going to have to slightly pull the rear depending on where the tire sidewall ends up. Planning to run a 315/35-17 r888 for a street tire, roll races and 1/2 mi+ events. Therefore I can leave the mickeys(295/45-17) on the current 17x10s for 1/4 mi events.

Old v new



Test fit



Refurbishing is coming out great, just need the new hardware and rubber now

 

Jake personally came down to us here in florida, figured out our issue. The AFL valve kept checking ok but all of our symptoms pointed to a worn afl valve. Did an afl valve and trans is stout! Feels alot stronger up top vs the junkyard one we were running before(probably was slipping). Did alot of testing, have a new best trap of 147 with a passenger lol. The new 3.08 gear feels really good for our combo.

 

enlarged the trans cooler hole for the transbrake

 

this car is bad.

that's all i have to say.

 

I agree with this statement.

 

Started with this project today


Almost done with the driverside. Running/turn combo light on the inside


Angel eye on, cant get a stepped away shot because of bleed but it looks menacing from 20ft+ because of the top cut off.

 

They need camo love already

 

^ Love how those lights look.

 

Lights look really mean with the angel eye.



Finally started working on some ducting lol, time to go spend too much on some more al sheeting at lowes and do the sides

 

Cowl hood fully trimmed! now gotta decide what color to get it painted.

 

It would be a dream to be sponsored by these people... but I can at least add this to my collection of rockstar energy swag.

 

Any chance you could elaborate on why you picked the auto tranny vs. a built T56? Just curious thats all

 

This is why, the most built t56 offered: Tick Performance Level 5 SUPER Magnum TR-6060 Conversion (900RWTQ and up) for 98-02 Camaro & Firebird - Tick Performance

900RWTQ... thats it wont even say 1000 on their page, auto transmissions come with warranties for a lot more power.

Also holding boost through shift is so much fun.

 

oh ok, got it. Any details on your tranny? Does it allow you to shift when you want, or do you just set it up in a computer and forget about it?

 

Manual shifted, I run this shifter but the 1-4 drive gear one:

 

Stopped by Improved Racing today and Micheal hooked me up with a oil pan baffle and a crank scraper (yes I know i will have to file it because ls1 and ls3 cranks aren't the same but couldn't wait 3 weeks for the ls3 ones to be back from manufacturing)

 

Almost done installing my improved racing oil pan baffle and crank scraper! pulling the subframe to do it was not fun lol.
