Default New guy from Ohio

What's up guys? My name is Chris and I have been creeping around the forums for the past few months. I just sold my turbo civic to start a new project. I have seen a few friends ls1 cars and was very impressed with the power they make, and how quick they are in a heavy car!

I have been doing a lot of research and recently picked up an 87 notch awaiting an lsx for a steal! Purchased with the following AJE K-member, Motorsport manual rack, Baer bump stop eliminators, Tohicko (sp?) Blues, Modular mustang coil overs, UPR C/C plates, Power stop cross drilled rotors, BBK subframe connectors, BBK lower control arms, FMS rear springs, UPR upper control arms, FMS 3.73 gears and a FMS trak-lok, Walbro 255.

It is definitely a project but hoping it will be running by spring time. Paint is rough so it will be sleeper status lol. I will keep you guys updated. Still debating on a cammed ls1 or turbo 5.3, but it will have a t56.

Well I think I decided on ls1/t56 and not the turbo 5.3. Local shop found me a deal on a complete 04 gto drop out. So pretty sure that will be getting swapped in.

Also: Looking for 87-88 turbo coupe pedals if anyone knows anyone that has them!
