I`m still here guys, just not much happend over the festive season, but back on track now.
Done a bit of underneath detailing and started making the rollcage.

I`ll post some pics tonight

 

Pete stop drinking and get back on with keeping us entertained! lol

only kiding.

Chris.

 

Back half of rollcage is in ....





And here`s the undercar detailing ...

 

stunning work as ever!! drool!

just looking at the rear arches, are they big enough to get some decent rubber under there?

 

I`ve got 10" x 18"s with 265 x 35 rubber on the rear, probably get some 17s for running the 1/4 tho

 

GTO running gear must have cost a pretty penny, nice car man, purest in the states would probably be alittle upset but hey light weight/high horsepower whats not to love.

This makes me wonder what a Honda Civic with a LS2 would look like. I think it would upset at least one or two people.

 

I can't wait to see this car finished. This is one of my favorite lsx conversions I have seen. Subscribing.

 

Simply awesome fabrication! You are truly an artist! Good luck!

 

Been very busy today







What ya reckon ?

 

Very nice....

Although, I'd have thought extending the cage further forward, along with a horizontal bar behind the dash would have ben a good idea ??

then extending forward to the strut towers ??


Also....how the hell do ya get at all the tricky bits to weld lol....

 

yeah my not make the front vertical bars as far forward as possible

 

Thanks Stevie

Cant run a horizontal bar behind the dash, `cause the clutch pedal box/master cylinder is internal.
I want to refit the O.E. dash and the rest of the trim, so not connecting to the front strut towers. There will be extra chassis members underneath and a top strut brace eventually.

 

very nice fab work

 

Still gonna be ready for PVS Pete? Got me tickets booked just to see this finished! (Think Im gonna chicken out, and stick a 3.0 V6 diesel in me calibra instead).

 

That's an insane project! Nice work.

 

plenty of rubber!! just a note, you can get the new MT sportman s/r (like drag radials but with more grooves), in 18's with varying widths

 

looks ace Pete!

oh and found something you might want to fit once you have everything up and working!!

thanks Chris.

 

Should be ready end of march mate.

It`s now on the 4 post, ready to finish the zorst and fit the propshaft ....



Please excuse the view of the loo (john)

And thanks Chris, that`s now in my favourites

 

there are a few of these kits floating around down here now making big hp! they recently had a sale and for $AUS 6995 you couldn't go wrong . i'm happy to try to get my bolt-on into 11's such as the qualities of these engines. so going to a car 500kg's lighter, even that will be enough

so pete i'd think about things like 25% UDP and valve springs, even b4 she gets started.

 

We`re running the car with minor tuning mods this year, i.e. remap, headers etc. then over next winter, look at roller rockers, cams, headwork and supercharger.

Dont really need an UDP, only running the alternater
