Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Started this project with my son in 05. Got the motor combo completed in 06. Me and my son pulled the motor and trans out of my 91 Lx conv. Performed same chassis upgrades I did on the hard top. Took the 91 Lx conv to get a 10pt roll cage late 06. Got deployed in 07. While deployed the 91 Lx conv body got RIPPED and STRIPED. Got back in the US in 08. Still had the engine and trans. It sat in the corner of my garage until Mid-2009. Found the 2.3 93LxCoupe. I gutted it. It took until the end of OCT2010 to get it all together. While this was going on, the Memphis Motorsports Park (only 1/4 mile track in a 5hr radias) closed down! All we had then were 1/8 mile tracks. Went to the last SAT the 1/8 mile track was open for some testing. Ran it 4 times. Every time faster and faster.
