no real updates..economy is kicking my *** a little bit lol...its still rolling though! just slowly

got the new tires mounted up... took a few pics, then decided to snap a few pics of the other cars being done up in the shop

my junk




turbo 500rwhp fox




10sec 460ci fox...being rebuilt



10 sec NA sbf fox



7xx rwhp TT cobra (aiming for 1000+ when its back together)



poopra...and you can kinda see the sbf rx7 sitting by it...ugly ****ing car, not worth its own pic lol

 

oh yea...got rid of the sportline springs in the rear....stock springs with one coil cut is whats on it now

 

nice.

 

damn, nice cars in there

 

Ok well that was a fun thread. Read it from start to finish but no updates for nearly a month. Making any progress?

 

not with the holidays .... funds are low right now, and ive been putting money into my street bike and not into my car lol... itll get done though....hoping to purchase my fuel system in january...after that all i need is

midpipe
mufflers
driveshaft shortened
radiator
some electrical things
gauges

already payed for the 8pt cage, MM full length sfc, and battle boxes from laurel mountain....the hardest thing left now is the chassis work, and im not doing that part myself, so i gotta wait on my buddy to get it done... lots and lots and lots of welding left... and some fiberglassing

 

Dam thats crazy! I'm currently lookin into doing this myself just economy not helpin out rite now... hopefully this time nxt year ill be starting mine.. u got any suggestions and helpful tips? the only difference is i'll probably be strokin it, EFI, and fully built. oh yeah and no bottle for this motor doin all motor no bottle, or blower/turbo...

 

stroker and efi would have cost me about 6 grand more than what im working on right now...my only advice is take your budget, and plan on spending 3 times that much...my budget was 3k, and ill have 7-8 in this when im done, not including the 9" i will be getting once i blow the 8.8

 

What do you think your car will run off bottle? 10s?

 

not on this motor/rear end combo

off bottle low 12s, and low 11s on the bottle

once the rear breaks ill get a moser 9" and then start launching it harder and up the spray to 250 and aim for 10.99s....all on the bottle

once the car is running and i have most of the bugs worked out, im going to start working on a 600" stroker kit and aim for 10s NA, and 9s on the bottle
