Default Christine Update

Well I have been saying this for almost 3 years now about switching from a Super to a turbo and was always posting that this week I would fire it up, Well I wanted to wait and really get her running before I posted. Well it was a no go. Went to crank her up and no power to the starter? I had a new harness installed so?? I checked the neutral switch, the purple wire, all had power. So thats where it is for now,, Hopefully soon I will have a better update and some power numbers next time....

Default She Lives!

Now were talking, before I left the last time I just installed the new tune hoping that the shop would get it started, well Finally, they found the problem, the dang neutral safety switch was bad. They called and said it fire up, idled great, Now I just need to get back to town and do some tuning on the dyno to see what she'll do. Let you all know hopefully soon..

Christine was a plymouth belvedere in a movie title "christine". I didnt see it until a year ago, knew about it befor then but never had a chance to watch it. Very good movie, Like most good movies from that time, its still better then most movies today! It ranks up there with Bullet, (original) gone in 60 seconds and Vanishing Point as far as all time greatest car movies go.

On subject - Sounds awesome, I agree though, pics and vid!

Pics will come soon, Car is out of town. Its a 95 Z, 383 LT4, Was Supercharged and I decided to go Turbo, On the Supercharger she made 648 RWHP/612 TQ on street gas and on the fast gas it made 722 RWHP/713 Tq, This was with an A4, Then I went M6. Never got a Full 1/4 mile pass due to either breaking the auto's and when I went M6 I blew thru 3 clutches. Best time was at the LS1 Tech Shoot out back around 3-4 years ago, Ran a 11.3 @ 137 mph with a slipping clutch..

Does anyone know if that movie any good so I can go rent it. REALLY a 1958 Plymouth Fury . It looks more like a comedy to me. I am in for pics/vids as well. I don't believe you until I see some pics/vids.

The movie is quite cool, Christine also destroys a I believe 67 camaro and kills a few people. In time for the vids, like I say the car is out of town and the shop will be closed this weekend for memorial weekend so hopefully the following I will dyno, then post some vids..

cant tell if your joking or not since you refer'd to it as a Fury, makes me think youve already seen it. If not, then go rent it, hell...go buy it!.

Best car in that movie was the charger though!

Sounds cool I may need to go out and rent it. Looking forward to the dyno numbers.

I was being serious, I am always down for a good car movie. The car is a 1958 Plymouth Fury right. Sounds like a couple cool cars are in the movie. I just don't understand why a Plymouth Fury though but I will check it out.
