Midwestern Members - The warm is coming...

Between doing the massive amount of lab reports and stuff I am doing for school I am killing some time trolling around on deh interwebz. I figured I would make a little BS thread about spring/summer lol. I know we haven't had much of a winter with snow or anything, but it has been cold enough to make me not like this winter. I am def ready for spring/summer. I was just curious about everyone's plans for cars, vacations, jobs, or anything else cool. Personally, my car is done for now. I am pretty content with how my car is now. If I come across a good deal on sway bars I might get some, but other than that probably nothing. Hopefully I get a new job as a pharmacy tech here soon. I had an interview last week that I am waiting to hear about. That will be nice since it is in my field of study. I am also planning on an epic cruise to the smokies in July depending on how gas prices look. I also want to finish polishing and stripping my wheels that I started on before the cold came in. I have one wheel left to do lol. I'll probably put my good rims back on come about March or April. So what is everyone else doing?

we have to put in the chr1313 ram air...

then,wanting to put the bitch on a diet.........

like to pull the heater box & stuff that comes with it.......out.

still would like to get lexan front & rear windows,but dont have the money.blew the 9" & that ate up what cash i had for the lexan to get a new 9" chunk.....

i was gonna get a 6litereater targa top tooo.......to save on weight but i am not gonna unless i can swing the lexan windows.

other than that the bitch is up & runnen good.....9" chunk only has 2 easy heat runs on it & is quiet.

I can't wait to get the new car out for the first time.

Yea I'm ready for this summer, I have to put my car back together and order a couple more goods. Tryin to decide on what turbo to go with leaning toward the pt7675cea.. And get a 9 inch.. Lol Andrew

My car should be done by the end of next week. Winter project(s):

-Yank SS3600
-BBK lt/y pipe
-Thunderbolt cats
-UMI sfc's
-T/A girdle

Along with a tune up and tune, of course. Should be a little more fun driving this spring.

trunion upgrade,new clutch, bigger injectors,racetronix fuel pump, wont do anything else untill i get back to work , having a back operation in march, which sucks because i really was wanting to get the car done and track ready this year

Sounds like you guys have some good plans brewin. I'm just ready to go outside again. Being stuck in my house all the time is a drag.

Driveshaft
Built Trans
Upgrade the IRS or do a SRA swap.
Slicks and Skinnies

....and if there is any money left, heads and new fuel system.

Got my car dynoed....http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/r599/JUSTINSWS6/Finaldyno.png not much of a winter here either. Bought a ati ud pulley and getting suspension tuned. Trying to figure out what slick and what size....

That is a pretty stout curve ^^^ care to share any specs or is it as top secret as your sig says :jest:

Stock....... Just kidding ya i started a thread in dyno section. 215 prc heads, fast102/102, 233/239 112 lsa cam, just ordered ud pulley not on, a4 coan 3600 stall(helped the numbers) moser 9 inch heads are between 10:5:1 -11:1 compression ratio it runs good and sounds good:)

Should be a fun car to drive around in.

You mean pilot because this thing flys.... Thats the catch fraze i made

Ha ha I like it.

My helmet looks like a astronaut helmet to.

Ordered a DSS 9" conversion kit for the Camaro. Just waiting for parts to arrive. The only other item planned this year is a set of M/T radials, to help with traction.

I got a new job today :) woo hoo

Where and what is it? If you dont mind me asking.

Ordering 60lb fuel injectors and flowmaster merge for a custom y or if cheaper just getting a kooks y then welding 2 dmh cutouts to it then a 3.5 driveshaft this weekend! For the build in my sig.

Custom EPS cam, circle d 3200 stall, 25% ud pulley, t/a girdle, rear suspension upgrades, true duals. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Getting her tuned this weekend if it's nice enough. I'm so ready to drive it. Sounds like a beast just idling in the garage.

as soon as my taxes show up i'll make my appointment with MWC and have it ready for the cage install and their subframe connectors, say bye bye to my 3 point UMI ones. i got around to getting weight out of the car which i am still in the progress of completeing. and still have to clearance my rear calipers for the draglites and buy a new set of 26x10.50x15 et street bias ply for this year anlong with 5 point belts.

Where and what is it? If you dont mind me asking.

It's at the local pharmacy. I'm going to be a pharmacy tech. It's going to pay a lot more plus it is in the medical field which is what I am going to school for. Looks like there are a lot of drag cars in the midwest section. Seems like everyone posting is building up a drag car.

mine is built for track use & hope to get a 10.5 slip,if i can learn how to drive a m6 again.....
but i plan on putting some miles on it this year.

It's like riding a bike, it'll all come back...unless you never learned how to ride a bike. :jest:

I hear that I'm just trying to hit a 10 period lol.

I may or may not take my car to the track this year. My friend has a wrx now so he wants to see how it stacks up against my car. He should win. Our cars are about the same power wise, but he def has the driver mod ha ha.

Mine stock beat a wrx with a exhaust lt's whatit was a new one. you could win if you can drive

His is a bug eye with a boost controller and an exhaust. We're guessing it's about 280 or so all wheel horsepower. My car being stock is probably about 290 or 300 or so to the ground. The all wheel drive would get me off the line, but I am thinking all the torque I have would reel him back in. I'm not concerned about it though. This guy is my best friend he may as well be my brother so it doesn't matter whose car is faster lol. It'll be fun to have someone to cruise with.

Do you have a stick or auto?

M6 like I said I'm not too worried about it.

5k clutch drop and dont use the clutch to shift into gears.:)

:jest: pop goes the 10 bolt. :usa:

Just ordered my racetronix full pump, shipped my injectors to stiegemeier to get resized for 60 lb'rs and I'm getting my kooks ypipe from AES today. Next up Sphon driveshaft FTP 102mm lid.

I got a 98mm FTP lid if anyone is interested. Asking 100 and if you know me it's in good shape lol.

^^^ sounds like a nice car coming together. Speaking of the wrx, we were replacing the wheel bearing on it and were almost done except we didn't have a 32mm to take off the axle nut. Fail.

My car is close. I can't wait to actually drive it this year. I think I might have drove it 3 months an hour or two a week last year. Doing some small stuff to make it look better for the upcoming year.

Weight reduction, new tires, and a few other changes.

only got a week or so until it's march, and you're STILL not done!

It's going to be 60 tomorrow here. WOOOOOOO

The TA is getting a new catted Y pipe with a flowmaster merge fabricated next week. Then it's a full paint correction detail, new tint, and, depending on the tax check, koni yellows with strano springs and supporting suspension parts to get her back in alignment (needed to do something to make use of that lifetime alignment package :secret2:).

Damn i thought you where like 20.

Damn i thought you where like 20.

lol i think he meant the temperature....

Anyway, as soon as my tax return gets in I am ordering some shocks and lowering springs, as well as some decent brakes all around. Cant wait to drive the car again, this winter has indeed sucked. Just another month I will be bringing her out.
