Had the paint work finished up. Finally got an alignment and put the springs on too.

Here's a pic because I was bored and felt like taking some.

 

Looks good. The pic in your signature and the pic with the springs.. is like night n day.
What kind of springs??
And what shop is that behind you??

 

Still selling the car?

 

Damn, the car is B-E-A-utiful!!!

 

Well, it was strapped down to the trailer. It still sits lower than before, but not "slammed" like the first pic. They're Racing Beat springs, not sure which ones. I got them used (still need to pay Sung for them, too). The shop is the body shop that painted the car. I had it back for them to correct a few things that were in need of attention since they painted it last year.


Yes, as long as the buyer doesn't back out. He seems to be a good guy and gave me a deposit, so I have to assume the car will be gone next week (all I have left to do it get some tuning done then it's ready to go).

I agree... I'm getting depressed about not keeping it. I drove it yesterday for the first time after getting it aligned and getting the springs on. It rides great, handles great and looks great (and it's fast lol)... I almost sent the deposit back, but I've made my decision and I plan on sticking by it.

 

not bad

 

Understatement of the month IMO. Glad to see you getting the flaws out of the paint... but hopefully we'll still see the car around. Is the buyer local... a member?

So are you giving up on the "projects" portion of life now that you've gotten your C6 broke in?

 

He's from New Jersey, so I'll doubt you'll see it in this area. But you may see it on the board.

I imagine I'll always have a project going on. The biggest reason I decided to sell is it's not competitive in any class of racing it would fit in.

The engine swap is GREAT for a street car, but for organized racing, it makes it unfair and the penalty is harsh. For NASA it only fits into Super Unlimited, which is exactly the way it sounds - anything goes. We're talking cars that will run 10's in the 1/4 and 190 or more on the top end, if someone wants to build it. A near-stock LS1 powered FD can't win against something like that. I want to compete, not just do HPDE or run brackets at the local 1/ mile track.

 

So if you sold it, why are you putting money into it?

 

The paint work was free, I paid for a complete paint job last year and it was never finished. The rest of what I'm doing is part of the conditions of the sale. I've spent the buyer's deposit doing things he requested.

 

Ahhh.

 

Looks good, let me know if you ever want to sell the trailer.

Thanks,

Anthony
