Got a car with any mods on it?
I have a ’91 Camaro Z28 with a 327 Chevy small block in it. I got the motor out of a badly damaged 1965 Corvette. The original horse power spec. on the Vette motor was around 360hp.
In the course of building the car up I was able to outfit the engine with an Edelbrock Rpm Intake, Topped off with a Holley 650 Double pumper carb re-jetted to serve 700. An HEI distributor by MSD graces the engine with mods bringing the spark up to 58,000 volts of current. I placed a standard water pump on the engine and a set of Billet serpentine pullys.
The internal components consist of hydraulic lifters, seamless rods and 1.6 roller rockers. I was able to get my hands on a set of aluminum pushrods and a Lunati Steel crank. The flywheel is a lightweight steel plate made for quicker response times. I touched off the top end of the motor with a set of Dart 202, 63cc heads.
With all that, the car dyno’d at over 400 hp and just a touch under 400 foot pounds of tork.
Does anybody else have a project car? Let me know the specs, I’d love to hear about it.

Yes, my DURANGO has a Remote Starter:)
Being in frozen Minnesota I need one to warm the puppy up.
--You can start the truck from the comfort of your house. It will run for 15 minutes before shutting off.
--You can stop for gas, or whatever and turn off the ignition and take your keys and the truck will stay running (for 10 minutes).
--You can have the truck(car) start automatically at the same time every day:)
If ANYONE touches ANY of the controls (brake,gas, shifter, etc) the engine will cut off immediately.
My wife got it for my B-day a few years back:)

I\'m waiting to pay off my Impreza RS. Once it\'s paid off, I\'ll start looking for an Impreza STi engine and tranny. Once this turbo charged flat four (2 liter engine) is in place, I should get at least 280hp on AWD! That should should get me a rather decent acceleration of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds....but I don\'t like drag racing much. I like twisty road courses.
Of course, a turbo engine requires good brakes to stop this monster. So I\'ll probably get 6pot Brembo brakes uo front and 4pot for the rears. Then there\'s the suspension replacement. I was thinking of using DMS shocks...for circuit racing....but with the adjustment for refined daily use. You cand adjust the setting to soft inbound and hard outbound! Just like in GT3! Too bad both Brembo brakes and DMS suspension cost well over $2000 each!

Mods are difficult for me... Here you need a permission for everything, and the cops don`t like mods too.
Anyways, my Impreza has been lowered and broadened. I think of getting an Unichip and a new back box = 250 - 260 hp.

And you guys have the Autobahn??? Porsches that catapult from a stand still? And yet they don\'t allow "lesser" cars to be as quick?
Strange.
Well....at least Germany drives on the CORRECT side of the road...unlike them Brits. :D
Even cooler is that your Porsches are left hand drive! WOOHOO!
I would shave everyone\'s hairy asses with a blunt knife to own an AWD 911 Twin Turbo. :D

Strange.
It is. You can do a few mods (like I said in the 1. post) but then you have to get your car inspected from front to rear. For about $150.
What is it like in your countries ? Here we have to do an emission test and a car check every 2 years.
-
And here`s another example. For the Impreza there are those fog lamp covers, right? Can I use them ? NO, because mounted lights arnt allowed to be covered ... but there are plenty of cars that don`t even have fog lamps. Strange.
The new STI comes with covers but the lights are missing....
-
No emissions testing in Michigan....yet.
They had spoken about it a while back, but I don\'t think that it will happen for a long while.

Sorry, don\'t think that this is any SPAM of any sort. I just thought that she needed a little more recognition.:D

Well, Does it do anything to make your car better looking, or perform better?

I\'ve got a 95 Honda Del Sol in top condition, no mods yet (I just got it two weeks ago). I am adding a RockFord MP3 player this weekend, along with a new amp and speakers all around. After that, a cd changer, neon lights under the body, leather seats and glowlight dashboard. I also plan on putting a turbo in it come summer and a cool air intake, but that is gonna take some cash.
Guess it is time to start workin\' the overtime.
:D

I my self happen to own a very nice pos. A 94 escort. But when i get the money, and if I can find one, I plan to get a 69\' or 71\' Ford Mustang boss w/ a 429. That or a Mach 1. Either would be fun. But I am only 15 (I turn 16 in 11 days) so the insurance would be a killer. *sighs*

I\'m 18 and I\'ve got a two door, convertabile sports car and the insurance is $700 every three months, so yeah, insurance will be a "killer". Good luck.

yeah when i get enough money im gonna get a 98-99 eclipse gsx, all wheel drive, light, turbo stock. that way i can add stuff easier, and its light, so speed. any one know what im talkign about?

Well in my \'86 Camaro, I have a Ram Air induction Kit, with K&N filters. I used to have 4 10" 400w MTX subs, and 2 12" RF 800w subs, but I got ran off the road by a woman who ran a stop light, and when I hit the curb my system got seriously tore up, and I took it out.
But next summer when I start at the Reno PD (fingers crossed) I\'m picking me up a Ford F150 SVT Lightning, 380 BHP 450lbft of tourque, and under 14 seconds in the 1/4. I figure throw some NOS on that blown 5.4l Triton, lighten it up a bit, add a SHM chip, exhaust, and mass air and you have yourself some real fun.
