Default So whatcha think?

Well; just thought I'd share my inspiration with all of you. This is my uncle's '92 lx. Been a 9 year project so far but it's coming together. I was only ten when he bought the car which initially peaked my interest and eventually led me to buy my car when I was 17. It's been great for me 'cause I've been able to learn from his mistakes plus learn a lot of the ins and outs seeing how we've practically taken apart everything possible on each car, numerous times. Anyhow, I'll post pictures of mine when I get it out in the spring; she's in storage for the winter . I hope you enjoy and would love to hear your comments!

Best so far is an 11.5 @ 125mph in the 1/4 mile. Tko600 with 3:73 gears. She won't shift properly. It has a Centerforce df clutch and I think it still needs some adjustments but the tranny's getting sent to Michigan to get proshifted so we can really bang through the gears. =)

"I bet he has some traction issues on the street"


I'm not quite sure how to quote, but ya, she spins first through fourth with ease. Were putting in 4:10's this winter. Hoping for a better 60' and maybe a few more inches off the pave in the launch.

Update. Just installed 4:30's and got a new set of 28x10 hoosiers. Hoping it'll be enough to lift up the front. Just can't wait 'till spring.
