Hey guys I know a lot of you on this forum and have raced with some of you for the past oh 5 years or so now.

I thought Id post this up and say that Im getting out of my turbocharged IROC. Im parting the thing out and making back as much of my investment as I can.

Most of it revolves around the fact that Im 25 and still live at home and I feel that it is time for me to strike out on my own. While heads up racing is fun and my car has been quite a project, it has also been quite an investment as well and most of the parts are some of the best of what they are.

I can recoupe a lot of what I have spent and most of it is already finding a home in a friend's car so watch out for another fast turbocharged 3rd gen down the road.

Im not sick of cars but this one sure has wore on me and the money I can make out of it to pay some debt and get me where I need to be sure is appealing.

It's been fun guys.

Another heads up racer going bottom up. LOL

 

Parting out the ol' 10.9 super street outlaw car eh???

Good luck, it's nice to have your own place.

 

I pulled the heads off after the N vs S race and just got them torqued down last week. LOL See how motivated Ive been? It was even before the race I lost motivation. Its been building for quite some time.

 

Curt,

sorry to hear that you're cashing out, but i can empathize. do what you've got to do, and we know you'll be back down the road somewhere ;D peace,

 

Curt if you want to sell that little M, let me know - I'm in the market.

good luck bro!

 

Curt give me call on my cell, or hop on to AIM later tonight sometime after 9:30, I should be home from work by then.

 

Damn I am in the same boat as you Curt,just a year younger Been thinking about it a lot and a viper does sound sweet for a daily driver I'm still gonna hang in there for a little bit.

 

Ill give you a call. The motherboard in my PC at home is fried and I havent got to replace it yet. LOL

the shortblock, turbo, headers, intercooler, speed pro and injectors are all spoken for at the moment.

 

Sorry to hear it Curt, but you are still very young and have plenty of time. Ijust got into this stuff in my late 30s. See ya around!

 

Im not going anywhere. I still have a 2000 Trans Am to play with. LOL

 

With the ultra money pit parted out and sold, I'm sure you will start modifying the LS1 now

You know you can't resist!

 

Yes I can. Im enjoying the trouble free drive back and forth to work for a change. Its nice to not be messing with something. That may change down the line but for now, its staying as it is.

 

Curt, I'll be at work rest of the day so you can either call my cell or you can call my work 317-895-8616, when ever you want. Want to see if some stuff is still around.

 

Sorry to hear you're parting the car out, Curt, but you do what you have to do...

 

I hear you on that one! My formula is soo tempting to mod more than I have, but I already have one money pit that needs attention, so it'll have to wait until later. Living on your own is a great thing, I thought so when I first went to college. But man, just going from an apartment to owning a house with a garage, that's Good luck on moving on, and I'm sure we'll see you modding a new project soon enough!

Derek

 

sorry to hear that, wish i could have got to see it run, and on full boost that you keep on talking about.
Well good luck, and start modding that ls1!!

 

Good luck Curt. I hope you still post up man. I gave up drag racing years ago only to get back into it later in life. There is still hope for you lol.

It's a money pit.

Good luck
Tom

 

Ive started racing the LS1. I need to get the hang of launching, and shifting, a stick car. LOL it IS fun though.

Best ET??
13.41 @ 109 w/ 2.23 60'
I guess not bad mph for the heat and humidity right now. LOL

 

Don't do it Curt- I absolutely refuse to even make a pass in my LS1 car... It will remain stock.. mostly

 

I have no desire to mod the thing. I bought it with a small cam and headers on it already. I just cant drive a lick. LOL

its fun just driving around. And it was fun to pull into the track after cruising with the AC on, fill out card and get in line with a helmet in the back seat. I sure do miss those days. Now they are back.
