Damn that is nice. Yeah no mods for this car. I bought it for my wife to drive & take to the car shows. It is all stock & is a 9 out of 10 on the outside & 9 out of 10 on the inside.

This thing looks new inside & out. I bought the car for a $1000 with a blown motor, It has the 5.7 TPI & can't wait to get it running

I love your car man. I like the LS1 even more.

If you don't mind me asking. How much did you give that. If you do mind, Just don't answer. That car is nice.

My car? We've had it for 10 yrs - the motor died so i stuck a ls1/t56 into it, 4th gen rear, new gauges, new suspension. Paid about 3k for the motor, put about another 2k in parts (wheels, suspension, rear end, and misc) in the car. I spent about 3 months on it. It's a nice daily driver - that i take drag racing, auto-xing, drifting, etc. I'm in love with ls1's - currently doing a ls1 swap into a FD (94) RX7 for someone else.

some photos of the build up here: http://www.bubbadrift.com/album/thumbnails.php?album=26

13.3 @106 , 1.93 60' on 245 street tires. Stock 98 LS1, t56. It dynoed at 300 rwhp / 313 tq though the IROC air intake (and 317 / 326 without it). I ran the times through the factory intake which is restricting it, but i haven't spent the time fabricating a cold air setup that i want yet. Very stock setup, 02 factory manifolds and a flowmaster exhaust. I am planning on building a turbo setup down the road (which is why i moved the brake lines over for header clearance). I'm using spoohn suspension everywhere, with some koni yellows. I really like the way it handles. It has been very reliable and gotten good gas mileage - much better in every way compared to the tpi

Getting the wiring clean the way i wanted is what took the longest. I've put about 7k miles on it in the last year with no problems. It needs paint, the bra is on there to cover up ugly paint.

It was my wife's car, but a few years ago we got her something new and it became a car for me to drive.
