do you think anyone will take you seriously in a race???
You need the ls1 just to go as fast as you did before the wing, that **** had to slow you down.
I guess it is personal preference but i would not call it a show car cause it is an eye catcher cause to most on the board it is an eye sore and would be paid no more attention than any honda.

P.S. why is it cool to see a 4banger go 13's?? When all our ls1's do that stock?

You guys sux ***! This kid asks a serious question about swapping a LS1 into his ride and yall give him **** about it. At least hes not wantting to go the import route like everyone else these days.Im not saying you have to like what he has done to the car but there is no need to make fun of it! I personally dont like the wing or exhaust either but im not gonna bash him on it. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Good luck on getting info on the swap,and you might want to try posting this in another section, the LS1 is gonna be a big difference from the v6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
peace , justin

Reason #1
It is not that i don't want to answer the question, it just makes our cars look bad. How am I suppose to harass a ricer and flame him on the street, with a car like that anywhere around. It is not that someone likes there car, it is the trickle that comes from it. I might be on one side of town telling a ricer his qing is ugly, and he will immediately tell me, "There is a black LS1, the guy says it is a special edition, he has a wing like mine. Why don't you go harass him?" And that is not something i ever want to hear.
Reason #2
Kids look up to us, what we do causes them to do things when they grow up. So if they see this guy and he gets alot of attention cause his car is "COOL" then our kids will grow up to be like that. And I sure as hell don't want to see anymore mutilated F-bodies.
Reason #3
Please, please, please, stop helping the ricers. The pattern/theory behind ricers I have is that they rank the car on mods. On of them might do something small like add/remove a lock on something, or put a shorter antenna on, or some other 10minute mod and they will tell you about it everytime they see you. So by allowing the concept of MORE MODS=COOL (no matter how small the mod) to exsist we are making it worse.

This is just my opinion, and reasoning behind my post.

Damn I'm totally off topic here.....BUT

Boo Yeah, Dude relax!! There is more to life.
Do you really feel that special owning an FBody and defending it too the point that you do?
If the current car craze effects youth the way you say, I would be driving a custom van, or a `75 Monte Carlo with air shocks and Keystone Classics.

If you smeared **** all over you face would you walk around proud because nobody else had **** smeared on their face too? No.

Either way, the car will be MUCH more respectible once you get an LS1 in there. Its gonna be tough but it'll be worth it.

guys,
the kid is a lost case...

kid,
just drop the ls1 in it, spray it the first time you start it to break it in, put 87 octane in it and let it bounce off of the rev limiter for 15 minutes...I swear she will purr like a kitten after that... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Your car looks great man. I admire hard work, and devotion to ones things. Keep it up and this swap is doable just look around others have done it. Only advice from me is don't post pics here. trying to get these non-objective people to come around is like <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> lol just enjoy your creation with people who understand it.

sometimes i do take this **** to serious......

By the way, this has been crossing my mind all day, why the canisters??? <img src="http://images.cardomain.com/installs/203000-203999/203190_9.jpg" alt=" - " /> I just think that would make people poke fun.

Also are you running that exhaust with your ls1?

One more, could you please make a sound clip for us before and after, i a curious what "FART CANS" sound like on a good motor.

I guess you can call it a new generation, young people do not want to take credit for someone elses work, thats why we build cars not buy them, this car is mine and no one else has one just like it. And for the person who said my car was not a show car, think agian, do you ever go to the super chevy show. Two years ago some one with a green ss, same wing and ground effects, and tail lights as mine, with many motor mods won. WON THE SUPER CHEVY SHOW. Not a stock one. And it is cool to see a motor 3x smaller than an ls1 run a 13. I didnt get a honda because i didnt want a honda i wanted a camaro. check out this web site full of people who apprectiate a car for the work put into it, my web page at cardomain. It has over 11,000 hits of people who love my car. So you guys dont really hurt my feelings, i just laugh because yall are getting left in the past.

You need the LS1 pcm, wiring harness, and other things.

I would get an LS1 K frame and put it all on there and have a shop bolt the motor and trans in for you.

FYI for some V6 guys it's cheaper to do this than get a new car since the resale on their V6 might pretty low.

As far as the appearance mods go, I really don't like the taillights they look cheap. Real stuff like that was stock on Skylines (I have been there) and the taillights are much better quality than Altezzas.

I just saw Altezzas on a 86 Taurus out the window (barfing sounds).

There should be a law against what you did to that car. Please don't embarass yourself further by putting an LS1 in there, please... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

My eyes! what did that poor F-Body do to deserve a fart pipe, wing, and euro lights... Shoulda bought a honduh to rice out instead of a respectable car...

Damn... just took a closer look at that spoiler... I'm sorry I just have to laugh at that... if I ever saw an F-Body like that when I was driving I'd just be laughing my *** off at it... V6 or LS1 <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

So what exactly is young? 16? and what is the past?

I won't call it a new generation thing cause I'm not exactly old and I don't know anyone that thinks that crap looks decent....


and please explain how "young people do not want to take credit for someone elses work, thats why we build cars not buy them" So putting a spoiler, fart pipes and euro lights (and while I'm at it... that hood... <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> ) is building a car?

My opinion... I wouldn't want to take credit for your car either... hell... I wouldn't even want to blame it on someone else!

How is what you have done "new generation" ? Big fart pipes are new generation? Useless wings are new generation? Euro lights are new generation? Well in that case the "new generation" are a bunch of pansies...

------------------------
An F-Body gets its wings every time an F-Body farts


(wings = dead... so an F-Body dies every time it farts)

the new generation sucks!!!

By the way i printed all your pics and took them out to see some people tonight, they all luaghed.
But the one that got me was the
89 accord, primer grey, body kit "What an Idiot."
87 CRX, primer as well, "I am not that bad"
Even the two worst looking cars in town think yours is worse than theirs, i have more respect for them anyways cause they will admit they did it for attention and theirs are ugly.

Well bro, I give you props for trying to be different, **** if we were all the same who the hell would be the hero. I remember when I was one of the first in my town to put a huge tach, and gauges on my Trans Am. I was laughed at seriously, then everyone started putting that **** on there cars. Must admitt that I wouldnt do that to my car but everyone has there own taste, and if you think it looks cool, more power to ya. Sometimes its nice to see someone pave there own road rather than be some lame follower. Be a leader bro, but make sure that car is fast.
