  • Bought some new toys for the bird

    Moroso DS-2 Front runners
    26 X 4.5 X 15

    They will replace my bf goodrich 165 80 15 radial tires. The new ones are lighter, have less rolling resistance and look purty!

    2 of those... at a 5% discount.

    My current door skins are all chopped up. Ages ago I stuffed much bigger speakers in the doors and we modified the door panels to accomidate. I thought about recovering them.... I took them apart.... and I figured.... well, those are lighter, clean up the car and look bad @ss... I got them.

    I am looking to relocate the door lock/ window switches to where my radio used to be. I have a nice black piece of plastic covering the hole where the radio used to be.... and switches there would liike kinda interesting.

    In a nut shell..... I will be making this car more and more of a "race" car with a tiny v6 under the hood

    Oh yeah..... the center console's days are numbered. I've come across some nice light weight carpet (even lighter than my light weight carpet) and I plan on redoing the interior completely and delete the center console and relocate the switches to the radio area.

    I think the nitrous button and line lock may end up on the steering wheel (which I still need to purchase).

              Well, I've been looking at a lot of the 8, 9, and 10 second f body cars and I like the look of no center console.

              I don't have an e brake there..... I only have the shifter under it.

              I need to recarpet over that area though.... because it has an open hole under it already cut.

              As for the shot level:
              I've always run a 100 shot.
              I've made 4-5 passes on a 125 shot.

              100 shot- 1.58 60 ft, 12.1 ET sprayed off the line
              125 shot- 1.72 60 ft, 12.1 ET sprayed far out


              I'm just trying to maximize the most out of what I have. I am still waiting for them to perfect the stroker kits.

                read : I'm still waiting for them to say that they can stand up to a shot of go juice.

                What specific class will the bird be in, so that you cain go full tilt i mods/weight reduction for it.

                  Front runners arrived today ;)

                  [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] Yes, a stroker kit that can handle nitrous ;)

                  I don't think I have intentions of actually running in a certain category/ class.

                  I just do it for fun/ furthering the v6 community
