Andy I could use a few decent pictures of my new AP1 if you're up to it.

Turd???

Im going to be in town 8/6-8/7 so I'll have to swing by and check out this "turd".

[tnomud]

I will probably head down tonight if its not pouring down rain.

[NewGen33]

If the weather is nice I'll come out as well. It's been at least eight months since I've been to one.

[MeFryRice]

If it's not raining, I'll drive the FD out tonight.

I wouldn't mind getting some pictures of my car taken, but I'm working all weekend!

From the sounds of it outside it will be pouring rain!

I lived there for 12 years and went to Oklahoma state. I go back at least three times a year to see friends and family.

I agree and it seems as it grows even more people are slowly starting to make their way to Bixby. Where did you graduate High School from?

Just looked on your FB and saw your new car. I are impressed.

[SHHHH]

You wanna see a sub 300whp rx7 race a 650+whp GT500? Why not just get a local ricer in his sohc shitvic to race idk... Davis? It'd be the same thing: slaughter. lol

Ya I dont want any of that. I just want to see pictures! Post em up Steve!
I had a guy offer me his very very clean FC swapped LS1 for my old Yellow Mustang GT(for you guys that remember that old car ). I still kinda wish I pulled the trigger and traded but o well.
Speaking of FC swaps, heres a neat video. Sorry cant figure out how to embed it.

JDM Tube - SBC RX-7 vs ZL-1 1000 Dollar Race! Miami Street Racing

I would still like to see it though. Would be interesting.

[SHHHH]

Ya hes gotta be pushing more than 300. Unless the swap is 100% stock ls1 including manifolds which I seriously doubt it is.

Not saying the outcome would be different but that LS motor can be built very stout and in that chassis it can be a heartbreaker

[SHHHH]

Anyone know of a Camaro zl1 in Newnan or PTC? I want to see one in person.

[Theothersawyer]

I just saw one the other day in Tyrone. It was red or orange. It was not that impressive looking. Looks too similar to the stock Camaro. Chevy seems good at making their top of the line cars look way too similar to the base cars. Base C6 and the ZR1 then the V6 Camaro and the ZL1.

I want to see the carbon fiber hood. The supercharger is an eyesore though.

Internals are stock but the manifolds are not. The car will be taken to Vengeance Racing to have a custom cam (possibly heads) after the new exhaust is on. VR will also be tuning it as well. With a cam, they make ~390-425whp. Parkers made right at 400whp after his cam built by another shop.

I dyno'd it not long ago and was not impressed with the #'s but after installing the new IM, I noticed that the throttle wasn't opening more than ~75-85%. During my research, this is a common issue with the swap due to the TB actuator and FD accelerator pedal not working together without quick fix, which I did. The car is night/day different.

I saw that one on Huddleston the other day. I wasn't too impressed with the aesthetics of the car.

Good stuff man! VR does really nice work. That thing will be a blast to drive.
As for a zl1; I personally dont like the car but I still want to see one in person.


Underhood shot of the zl1 incase anyone wants to throw up

[firby911]

Im sooo fucking bored now days its not even funny. On a better not i finally found a job at a pizza place down the street working 30-40 hours a week so its nice to make some money after such a long dry spell.

[slocussvt]

Is anyone gonna come out to a meet again? Been out the past 3 or 4 weeks and the only person i've seen is patrick and joe, and that was at seperate weeks.

Why are you gonna be a dbag and bash Davis like that?


And as for a zl1, i haven't seen any around Newnan but i did see an SS with a ZL2 sticker on it today.

[Theothersawyer]

Damn, that is an ugly engine bay! Plastic covers are one of the worst things to happen to cars recently IMO! What happened to being able to pop the hood and see a beautiful engine?

[SHHHH]

I was hoping someone would mention the ugly plastic cover........


..............check it without a cover

[Bacon]

He meant Davis doing werk on that single cam; not the other way around.

[MeFryRice]

That is a terrible looking engine bay for sure. Is this a stock or modified one? WTF are the wires on the passenger side plus the curly wire that connects to the intake tube to something?

[smoknlegend]

Danny and i went out to take a few pictures and do some light painting:

This is a composite of several shots. Definitely need to get my flash so i can light better than just with a flash light.



The decided to draw things with our flash lights:


Not the best, but given we were getting eaten up by bugs and were just having fun, wont complain too much.

[SHHHH]

The wire to the intake tube and the bundle of wires are not from the factory. This was a shop owned car that they are working on. Everything else is factory, they just took the plastic cover off the engine. It has to be one of the ugliest engine bays ever.



The Miata shot looks neat Joe

[h23bb2]

Pics look good jojo!!

And Phil, have you not seen a subaru bay? lol

[SHHHH]

Hahaha I dont mind the subaru bays.


On a side note. 8hrs of Over time tomorrow, woohooo!
