just got my car the other day from a guy i work with, and just joined the site a few days ago as well. in the intro forum someone suggested i start a build thread.
my plans:
hp: who knows
weight: as light as i can get it
1/4 times: low 11's at least
asthetics: ugly as possible, ie: not doing a damn thing to it
doing a complete teardown and rebuild of the engine/tranny, headwork, turbo, spray, may substitute alky/meth injection for nitrous, fmic and all the regular supporting mods. trying for about a 4-5 month project "hopefully"
the car: 87 turbo with too many miles on it, guy daily drove it for years and years, no aftermarket parts have ever been installed on the engine. he still had the original stock plugs and wires on it. he did install NOS seat covers though lmao.
pics:
these are custom nawwwsssssss seat covers, overnighted from japan:
<edit> wanted to note that was a joke.. i know sarcasm is difficult to detect over the internet lol<><>
engine:
important numbers of the engine:
itty bitty turbo, soon to be replaced by one on growth hormone:
custom paint/body work. took 21 years of customizing to get to this level, and i will not risk messing it up with "fresh paint" or "new parts" of any kind:
what i've removed today... seat, tire jack.. basically everything but the trim in the back
those are sunflower seeds in the back seat area, not mouse poop. they had been in there for a pretty long time appeaently lol
more to come as time goes
