THANKS MAN!!!
I think I did OK for what I have done to my car! He pulled me by 3 cars the first race and 2 1/2 cars the second race.... It was fun!

I'll post videos on my F-Quick!

Good job but I'm wondering why you painted under the hood Black.

I had some paint that was peeling and there were some rust that I removed so I just decided to go black b/c I'm a fan of Black Engine Bays! Plus it helps to hide the dirt when you work on them!
Thats why I went Black.
Other than the fact it needed some work under there, I prolly would've just left it white....

Ok well I got the rest of the things I needed for the car now. I mean the interior pieces that I was missing as well as the switches, and trim pices that I needed. So now the car is complete.
I also picked up a berger panel and an SS style spoiler for it. Not to mention I have the Nittos on it now too.
I bought a 3.42 rearend off of a local guy for $200.00! And have plans on putting it in this week sometime. The tuning will be done as soon as I get the rearend in. Hopefully by Monday or Tuesday of next week. We'll see.

I am actually looking into a stall converter at this time. And hope to have that in the car soon as well! Well just wanted to update my thread and I'll post pictures as soon as I get time to.

Yeah, I miss working on the third gen after doing this....
BUT I wouldn't trade the power of an LS1 for anything!

Hmmm Maybe an LS1 Iroc may end up in the mix someday! Who knows!!!
