Any pics of the build or the car in general?

blckgagt · 05-19-2011, 06:39 PM

I have a few but I'm at work so I won't be able to post them til possibly tonight or more likely tomorrow.

Got the electronic cutout fully installed today and I really like the sound of it. Mike's aweful camera does not do it justice.

blckgagt · 05-20-2011, 02:03 PM

Nice....im loving the sound. Btw i posted a few pictures of the build in my profile for those interested.

G.I.Ceo · 05-20-2011, 02:36 PM

This build is so bad ass. So what made you do a 4T65E swap instead of a 5 speed? Also is that GA bagged because its sitting on the ground.

custom coilovers... says it in his signature

The front was actually raised up a bit to fit drag slicks.

Randy, that pic in your profile looks bad :P

Great looking engine. Let's see some nice shots of the car

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-20-2011, 05:34 PM

Sh!t, I want coilovers.

At the time I started planning this there wasn't much out there as far as 5 speed swaps. And like it was mentioned, I have custom coilovers by bilstein. I ordered them from mantapart but to be honest the price was a bit much and I had to wait like 6 months to get them only to find out that the springs they gave me were too small so there went another month. I am glad I got them though.
As for the pictures, thats all I got at the moment.

Next time I'm at the shop I'll try and take some more pictures for everyone.

Truly one of the best GA builds I've ever seen.

Yeah I know that the engines not the nicest to look at and the picture didn't come out to good.

I have pics of the car but I quit posting because I know how people feel of body kits.

I think even with the body kit it still looks extremely nice.

Man that looks like it will be a pain to drive with it sitting so low but either way it's pretty bad ass.

I am looking into doing a turbo build myself but not sure if I want to go that far with this car or not.

I just love the sound of a turbo whining up.

How long are you going to keep it at Milzy's shop for? I would like to come see it.

HOYS · 05-21-2011, 01:19 PM

I don't know when its going to be leaving. The Dayton meet is coming up on the 25th of June and it might still be there. If not, there will be other fun things to look at...so you should come.

blckgagt · 05-21-2011, 03:26 PM

Well actually even after I got the right springs for it, it rode very harsh. I had milzy order some a bit softer and taller. To be honest I didn't think it was too bad to drive. Don't forget that they are adjustable a couple inches either way.
I thought of doing the fbody brake upgrade while it was there but it depends on how long for the 2 piece rotors to come in. I have a lot of other ideas in store.

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-21-2011, 04:17 PM

I want details on the coilovers, I want to find a set.

As far as I know, not many exist for N-Bodies and the like. I know Mike is really itching to do a line of suspension parts for N-Bodies and W-Bodies.

blckgagt · 05-21-2011, 07:14 PM

I got mine from mantapart.com over 4 years ago..not sure is they still make them or not

AaronGTR · 05-21-2011, 08:05 PM

Yeah, mantapart was never the best to deal with, and who knows if they are even still in business. Haven't heard of anyone buying anything from them in a long time.
