Over the past two years i've been busy updating and upgrading the Trans am.

Here is my story,


From the beginning:


The car was modded and ragged on for years with a best of 11.06 at the track. I had to get out of the sport for a while due to babies and even considered selling her.
















After some time i was lucky enough to continue the sport, so i dusted her off and began about 2 years ago:


First thing to go , old cutch and hydraulics,

I cant beleive i dont have any pictures of the Tick master cylinder or Monster stage 3 clutch!










took off the old intake/fuelrail/valvecover and did some wire mods:










NEW fast 102 intake/tb/ ls2 fuel rail/injectors and holley valve covers and nitrous outlet kit :




















Then on to some suspension:























Then i purchased some Zr1 wheels from a buddy on here and went to town on painting those:

Now the good stuff, After driving it for a while i went looking for a diff and went the MWC route. Glad i did! Fab9 -3" on each side.


















Doing so allowed me to look for a new set of wheels, after talking to some friends on here i went the Weld RTS route:

Then some weight reduction and cool mods:
































After many many alignments and lots of time diagnosing problems the car runs great and ready to take her to the track!
(after nitrous tune)

And that leads me to now:

























And some eye candy lol :











Its seems like its been forever since i first started but im glad i took all those steps and it was fun.

Is it over you ask? Not in my blood:

Couldnt have done it without the millions of questions i had during the process.

 

Money.

 

Very nice bro! What coil overs are those on the front?

 

Thanks bud, they are Qa1 single adjustable with #300 springs? i think lol

almost all suspension pieces were purchased here on ls1tech!

 

LOL nice, I am in the process of re building my 98 ws6 and it's always nice to get different ideas. Car looks really good bro, what size motor do you have planned for it?

 

Where did you get those covers for the sun visors? Those things are the bane of my existance while driving lol.

 

Tell me about it! Lol. I actually got them off of ebay, great quality piece they were about $30

Search sunvisor delete, camarohawk is the seller name.

 

It sure is! I spent alot of time on here researching and yes some bad decisions made. Nothing i wasnt able to resell though. But overall happy how it came out.

Thanks for the compliment! Not sure what size yet.

 

You just made that dude another 35 bucks sir. Thank you!

 

Looking badass man. Nice.

 

Car looks nasty

 

Get some shot kinda at an angle from the back to show the tires. Nice set up though. Good thing you didn't sell her.

What back spacing on the wheels?

 

Just wow. beautifull car!

 

Car looks great! I love the look of the wheels/tires with the narrowed rear.

Why didn't you go with a tubular kmember?

 

Ill try and look for one later today, im sure i did get one.

17x4.5 front 15x10.3 rear


Thanks bro!




Good question,
i thought about it alot and even though it would have saved space and weight, i drive the car alot on the street.
i have seen too many threads on broken k members on here from street driven cars. So i decided not to risk it, atleast for now.

I may revisit the idea after the motor build.

 

where did you get the sinvisor deletes? i didn't know there was a market for them, but i make them for myself on the laser too, very handy pieces.

 

I stumbled upon them on ebay.

Post #7 explains where i got them ^

They are handy!

 

wheels make the car. overall solid awesomeness.

 

Great job. That narrowed rear end and wheel/tire combination is PERFECT.

 

You put the wheel size ad width but not the backspacing , is it a 4.5 or 5.5 bs on the rears ?? Car turned out amazing btw
