Default FINALLY Taking the Rear-mount 88 SS out!!

FIRST>>> ANYONE IN HOUSTON<<<< Come out and drink beer with me and the LMR crew Friday/Sat!!

I am finally getting a chance to take out the SS to the track! We are going to Houston Motor Park to run her in the 1/8 Mile Friday and Sat... There is a true street class that requires Power Steering and A/C... I think we will take that class.

Sunday we are going to take her to 1/4 Mile and see what she will do... I am not going to say what I think it will do, but I like that Josh thinks we can give a 9.5ET car a good run for his money.

LMR has been awesome in all of my trials and setbacks!! A++ Thanks Steve and Josh! If any of you are around, come out to Houston to see her run!

Eye candy just taken!

Really nice! Dumb question for you - how did you get the front grill wide open? I know the black plastic piece comes off but I did not think you could get the other piece off without cutting it up?

No no no lol. The black thing mounted directly underneath your intake elbow.....just above the drivers side fuel rail. Looks to be a handy multi-vaccuum distribution block!
