I know theres more im forgeting just cant think of it right now.

 

Who's the chick

 

thats a lot of hard work you have done there meh friend, very nice job
also in your feature plans are you going to get a intake mani? that would help you out a ton with your whp goals.

 

there will never be a intake on the car, actually when u install a filter on the end of a turbo is decreases the hp. i have a metal screen over the inlet of the trubo witch is there to keep **** from going into the turbo.
thanks for the comment too man, lots of long hard work into this car, also planning a new build were its a different swap, already have the block and head, tranny, and starting the building of that now, once i get the motor head and tranny fully built i will be getting axels custom made, and everything installed, its gonna be what i think a 2 year project, but gotta pay my debt off 1st.

car show chick named emma

 

no i meant intake manifold....

something like that.

 

That first pic is the bomb Chris, you've got my vote

 

One of the best 2.2 balts I've ever seen.

Just curious, what is your car putting out? And do you have any track times?

 

Looks very nice!

 

so how tightly stitched is this mesh on your car that replaces the intake? Because Im almost positive even micro particles will eventually seize an engine.

 

do you have to be boosted to enter the cotm?

 

no

 

seems like you have to be

 

no you dont

 

they usually look better/have more work done.

CAr looks great, but i still think you should consider removing the SS logos.

 

^ You dont have to be boosted, just have to know alot of members...or have a LOT of mods.

Anyways, op, nice car. Got my vote.

 

Same, It was never an SS, and now its better than an stock SS, why would you want to bring it down?

 

Beautiful! you got my vote! I wanna see more pics tho lol

 

Bring it down?

Ok, lets get it straight, i don't mean to insult anyone, but plain and simple it's not an SS. It's impressive, sure, but it's not an SS. So it shouldn't have the badges. I don't understand the need for them. I don't have a single one on my car, and it actually is one.

 

does the SS badging really matter?

 

It has more hp/tq than the ss of that year, thats all I was saying. Just a little different way of looking at it, and trying to get him to take the badges off

If it doesnt have an SS vin, then it kind of does.

 

IMO yes.

but the car looks good, i won't clutter the thread anymore.

 

get the SS badges off of the car please. other than that, super clean

 

ohhh my bad sorry about that, im making my own some time soon.

Thanks man

The car will never see the track, and hp tq numbers i will give em out when its finnaly done,w aiting on vince at trifecta for the last 6 months starting to get really pissed about it.

Thanks Arron, not sure if yea remember me but you said i was the 1st in canada with the Stance Coilovers

No idea, the screen is from a screen door, i have friends that have well over 40,000km on theirs and they dont even have a screen on their turbo, but they also run hondas

Oh they are coming off, im putting LS-T on instead

Soon enough this car will be one of a kind, it will be going away for 2 yrs this winter, and the project will start if my mechanic wants to tackle this job with me.
i had a full tube chais made up for the car and fitted to it was a 355, with a turbo 400 tranny and a 12 bolt rear end but thats a long term project for a full fiber glass track car this car will be crazy fast when its done, right now it spools boost at 1,500RPM, makes Full 20PSI at 2,200RPM raced a Stock SS TC blew the doors off it, as well as a stage 2 SRT-4, the car is fast, but the numbers that were put down on the dyno were stupid low, but the car also runs super super super rich, looks like a deisel at some points when under WOT

 

should have takin atleast one pic of the interior....but you got my vote, all the cars look good but i respect urs the most cause i mean its an ls-t ... uv put alot of work into it and i like that you didnt buy your car pretty well almost how you want it such as charged or boosted already with the kit like most ppl. goodluck

 

thanks man, means alot!
i built this car from the bottom up, i look at my car and can say everything you see was done by myself, except the exhaust, that was done else where.
the car was built last year made 217whp and 213tq, this year new numbers will be tomorrow
hoping it broke 300whp but hard to say, its been running super rich sense april so i have bad feelings that i washe dthe cylinders.
