Thanks'

Acually no, nobody cares, unless you have at least 1000 HP , few years back you was king with 500 hp but not anymore.... No, I don't follow rallycross, but big fan of WRC Rally with Sebastian Loeb(France), Marcus Gronholm(Finland), Petter Solberg and his brother Henning Solberg from Norway.. Looking forward for next season who start in january... And for the first time WRC winter rally in Norway

 

You were at the wrong place, in june I was on different car meetings and dragrace events near Oslo Did you like Hell ???

 

Thank's

Hello Western Canada....

 

Some new pictures of my cars...

 

jeez..nice---just saw you have AIR RIDE...Excellent.

 

Thanks dude, that' s so much easier to comprehend! However, it' s hard to imagine a 95 T/A costing close to the price of a Viper or Porsche here. That' s insane!!

 

That price is for a 1998 or newer LS1, a 1995 goes for abt. $39-40 000.- but I think that's also insane And all the part we buy from USA we have to pay 25% extra in Tax, and also 25% extra tax for the shipping, so you can imagine what that T/A have cost me so far.... I don't want to think about it

 

Ouch dude....you REALLY ******* love these cars!

 

Nice looking ride and list of modifications! More pics of the local women when you have the time.

 

Lol... It's a love hate relationship, love it for it's a fuc.... fast car, hate it for keeping me broke all the time

 

I hear ya!!

 

Just joking with you, I love Norway.

It might be a couple of pics of your car here that you havn´t posted http://www.tacs.nu/forum/viewtopic.p...asc&highlight=

 

I hear ya. I'm also way into WRC and follow it as best I can (Autosport/rally sites, etc.) now that they've taken it off of Speed channel, damn them! I just wish that Ford would finally win the damn thing (driver's & manufacturers championships) one of these years. Or better yet, that GM would get back into it (unlikely with their problems, though ).

I mentioned rallycross only because of Martin Scanche, your fellow countryman, who is one of the best in the world on the high hp, mixed surface, circuit events.

 

The Hell Music Festival was a bonus deal for a business trip. It was great. Your devotion/ ordeal you have gone thru to aquire/ maintain some really nice GM muscle is inspiring....and I don't feel so broke now thinking about all the jack I have laid down for my rides.

 

Hey ragtop_rat, is your car a Formula or a TA? From the rear wing I thought Formula, but I'm not sure.

Also, can you point out some of the differences in your car and the US version?

Any pics of the air ride components or interior?

 

It is a export model T/A, have that low rise rear spoiler, european rear ligths, different rearbumper for wide licence plates and w/o sidemarker, notice that the reflector in the rearlamp's are taken away and replaced with those small reflector in the bumper, in the front some extra white ugly park lamps, and on the fender's the side blinkers.. Otherwise it's the same as US modell, LT1 and 4l60E, have all the original' parts at home, engine, gear, rearend, wheels etc

 

That is a sick sick sick sick pic!!! Your gonna convince me to put the low rise on my car!

I win! J/K Man!

 

OK, I checked my stash of Euro TA pics and most do have the nub wing. I did find one that had the big one. Another thing that looks off is he doesn't have the fold-in side mirrors. Maybe those weren't swapped or maybe ragtop switched them back. I see LS1 headrests as well.

Ragtop_rat, did you have the alignment set at ride height and a certain air pressure up front so that you know were to set the height after changing it? I like the air ride stuff, but it seems difficult to keep the proper alignment and the tires might wearing excessively. Do you have any handling problems or weird tire wear?

Here's the lowest I had my car, but this was only for one day. Too low!

My car is all original outside exept for the wheels and marking/blinker light's in the front, they are from a Firebird..

On the Air Ride system I have two pre set heights, bottomed out and ride heigth, when i start the car it comes up to a programmed ride height, and the alignment is set at ride height, so it is no problem with the tire wear... I can manually adjust the height from inside the car, you can look at the picture, the controller is where the ashtray used to be, I also have a wireless remote control for adjusting the cars heigth when i'm outside the car... Fun on car shows, or when someone is looking at the car... have seen some suprised faces when doing that, at shows people stop at the car and start discussing how it's possible to ride so low, look's like the tire's are resting on the fenders at rear, so it's just one toutch on a button in your pocket and the car comes up by itself

I dont have any handling problems, it's handling mutch better now than original, even better than with some Eibach pro kit I had on before, but keep in mind that I have adjustable QA1 shock's all around and also some massive stabilizers from Performance suspention. So I can have the car as hard or soft as want to... This is a four way system so I can adjust all four bags separatly, and one bag have no effect on the other when the car is turning, as it would have been with a two way system...

I'm thinking abt. modify the system with some new sensors on each wheel, so it keep the leveling itself regardless of load in the car, so if some heavy tubby friend sits in the right hand backseat, the bag on the right rear fill itself up to compensate for that weigth..

Sorry for my english spelling, but I think it is more understandable for you than if I write it in Norwegian...

 

What air ride kit is it? I'm not sure I've ever seen one on a late model F-body.
