god damn. its a beauty. keep up the hard work man! i LOVE seeing threds like this! again, props!

 

I may do oval exhaust to get it out the back.

Major spray-thanks. I met you in orlando at the street car nationals and wanted to thank you for blazing a trail for the rest of us that want to go fast in a C-5. I will always respect you and your car.

The pics are when I started and they were just sitting under there. I will be updating as I get progress. It is slow going cause I am very lazzy haha and I want everything right the first time.

I will say this- If you bought just the necessities you could do this for a little more than Yanks trans conversions. Without the weak rear and a suspension you can adjust for track conditions.

 

Thanks again everybody for the support. If you have questions I will try to answer the best I can.

 

Not a chance! That's hardcore man, I love it! Please keep the thread updated...

 

dam thats looks great

 

that looks awesome can you do mine next.

 

Please let me know where you got the wheel to get the ABS working for my 3 channel setup. I would really like to get it and do my rear.

 

thats a sweet car, i'm curious is this also going to be street driven as well. just wondering how the solid axle would drive like on the street. awesome looking with those wheels too. keep up the good work.

 

I got the abs ring from Moser.

Yes this car will see alot of street driving. I think it will ride fine. It has mostly F-body hardware on it. There is no reason that I know of that will cause it to be "unstreetable". My main goal in this whole thing is to have a fast steet car that is reliable.

 

i streeted a spool and it was fine.
I noticed that tires with a soft sidewall turn alot better then stiffer ones

 

I agree 100%. I have run a spool with hoosier quick time pros for 10 years now. Drives just fine. Radials, did give a chatter when turning, they were useless on the car anyway. lol

 

Very impressive. Did everything yourself. Holy smokes, want to do my headgaskets???

 

that is an incredible job. also great to see a "do it yourself'er" build a crazy project.

 

Another C5 solid axle build. I'm doing the bulk of the work at home in my garage also. This will be a 25.2 with a fab 9 torque arm suspension, all cromoly. Also visiable is my A/W intecooler. Oh what fun it is to build your own race car!!!

Very nice. It will run great Im sure. It looks like you went more of the race direction than I did. Big tire and huge intercooler means business. Good luck with it. I am working on my fuel system right now. I have all the driveline done and the car is sitting on its own wheels. I hope to have time in the next month to get it running and drive it around the block.

 

 

Nice, clean install cant wait to see some vids and numbers

 

omg im am so jealous

 

Man I don't even like to change my own oil and was hoping my shop would do my Vararam install for me....

 

Keep us posted on your progress. Sure would like to see it once you get it up and running.

Yea, strickly a drag car. I'm shooting for mid to low 7's once the new blocks are available.
