They are not the best as I accidently was using the wrong setting on the camera and the lighting is bad. Just gives you an idea of the car.



Eww.. wheel gap, yes I know. I swear it isn't as bad as it looks, the angle and hill it was on made it much worse lol. Suspension hopefully coming in the winter after turbo kit






I just painted the valve cover. It was my first attempt

the 2nd picture looks like you got hydrolics. lol

sounds nice from 0-50

 

Nice car bro. Keep up the good work. Sounds nice.

 

Eh car looks ok. Has potential. lower it, and keep it clean. I can see your going the ricey way.

 

why is it at all ricey?

 

a better look of ride height. Not bad, but could be lower. But right now turbo>>>>>>ride height.

 

that car is so high. I cant believe that at one time my car was that high too. lol

 

holy hell, mine doesn't look as high as that, I hope, all in all, besides ur monster truck ride height, it looks good bro, same color as my car, only difference is the OZ and the ES..........which means not too big of a difference, lol

 

Looks like an ES to me. Seems to be coming along nicely, a new grill would make it look great and maybe black out the headlights.

 

nice, hows those headers

 

looks clean man. what did you use to paint the valve cover?

 

short exhaust clip sounds like you revved it to like 2k.. do all rpm's and next time put the video recorder farther out

 

good suggestions. I am actually switching all of my plans on my car... Call me crazy I know, instead of turbo'ing I am going all NA. This includes P&P head, cams, RRM intake manifold, TB, downpipe, tune etc. Will be half the cost as turbo, 10 times as reliable and will still make decent power. This car is passing 100k miles and a turbo just isn't going to help it. Doing the P&P head will give me a BRAND NEW top end which I will feel much more comfortable about. Flame all you want, this is whats best for me on this car. I will post how it turns out

 

I would strongly suggest you stay away from NA, you won't make anywhere near the power you can NA and it'll cost a lot, probably as much as going turbo. Reliability isn't a function of how you make power (relatively speaking), it's a function of how far you are pushing the motor. To be honest if you have 100k miles on the motor, don't mod it at all, you're just asking for problems.

 

I have talked to ROCK about this and I will make good enough power for me with all those mods, have a REALLY usable powerband, be less than half the price, and more reliable. I plan on keeping the car longer and with a rebuilt head there is no telling how long it can go. I know turbo is more power for the $. This route is just me deciding after pouring over several possibilities. It will be fairly peppy. It is right now.
