CajunKenny's Build Thread

Sweet sig Kenny.

 

[CajunKenny]

We will definitely have to set up that meet we have been BSing about forever. Im hoping to have my car pretty close to ready for the booth by the time I head to bc so hopefully it will go back together somewhat quick once I get back.

Yeah, we need to pull the trigger on a meet. Most of us around here are up and running now so we can probably get a good number of folks together!

Are you sticking with the same color...is your dad painting it?

Sweet sig Kenny.

Thanks Ron. That is the subject of being inside taking a break from the 100* tractor work.

Here's a vid of me and my buddies doing a flyby...

The first car is my buddy's 91 MK3. He has BPU's and he's sporting my old exhaust. Man I miss the sound of that thing!

The second car is yours truly. I shifted a little too soon to really hear the BOV.

The third car is an 84 (I think...) Corvette that had just dyno'd 384 hp and 410 tq.

The fourth car is a rare 1990 Mustang Saleen. The dash has been autographed by Steve Saleen.

The final car (the one with the camera) is a Cadillac CTS-V. Mild tune w/o cats. It just sounds MEAN!

Here's one from today. Busting through our local "DOUBLE" Round-A-Bout. I couldn't hit it too hard because of traffic.

Nice vids Ken. You're right about that CTS-V. It sounds sweet. I particularly like the angle you used in the round-a-bout. I used it when I was testing my brakes. It gives a better idea of how fast you're going.

Just finished reading through this entire thread. Love the way the car has shaped up. Good work, Kenny! Did you get your intercooler and pipes from Driftmotion? Also, What offset front and rear are you running on your new wheels? I missed it if you said so already. KEEP THE PICS COMING!!!!!

 

[CajunKenny]

^Thanks alot boostcraver! It's come a long ways and has a bit more to go before I'll slow down. Next on deck is water/meth once I get a couple of things sorted out.

The IC Pipes are CX Racing and the IC is from Driftmotion.

Wheel Specs:
Front - 18x8.5 @ 35 Offset
Rear - 18x9.5 @ 35 Offset

Thanks again for the comments!

i took some sexy pictures of kenny's car yesterday and when you put his up next to my eclipse you really get a good feel for the way the wheels blend with the car and really make it a total package deal

 

[CajunKenny]

Yeah, there were a lot of HP's sitting in the driveway right then...

.............. MK3. ............ Corvette ........The final car (the one with the camera) is a Cadillac CTS-V.

sounds just like my driveway

Nice sound clips in the vid BTW

 

[CajunKenny]

I actually thought of that as I was typing it out. :biglaugh:

Hopefully your CTS-V sounds as mean as that one!

 

[CajunKenny]

I got my gauge box back from powder coating. Here are some pics with the gauges installed and with a test fit in the car. Yes...I know the car is dirty...

I'm not sure that I like it...

Anyone interested in buying a Gauge Box...?

Thanks for the info on the wheels, Kenny. BTW, my name is Jeremy and I'm a fellow '91 owner. Mine is a red turbo auto with light gray leather and the targa. Keep an eye out for my build thread, coming soon. Hope you don't mind if I borrow a few of your ideas:biglaugh:

 

[SupraRon]

What don't you like about the gauge box? I think it looks just fine.

 

[CajunKenny]

I just don't think it matches/compliments the interior correctly. Our interior has rounded edges and kind of curvy. The box just looks out of place to me. Both in color and in shape.

Hey if you dont mind me asking, what shifter is that? The stock one I have is a little worn, I'm thinking about having it reconditioned or purchasing a new one.

[CajunKenny]

It has been a while hasn't it...?

Yup, around 8pm EST it starts filling up, and it's usually booming at midnight
