We have all kinds of videos and pictures from the trip through the mountains.... mostly on Tom's camera so we will post some "project" information soon.
The car great!! and crazy fast
The trip was about 800 miles each way so we had plenty of time to "fool around"
Tom drove the car most of the way as he is very familiar with both the chassis and motor.
The engine is a stock C20GET but it was rebuilt by a performance shop and I am pretty sure they did a really good job.
I have a feeling that it's going to dyno in far above the stock 165hp 175lb ft of torque.
That engine in that chassis is scary :twisted: I can't get traction until third gear even with medium throttle the first two gears spin the tires like crazy.
It's far more than I expected to see from this car.... this engine kills my 87 Sunbird GT Turbo ( 220,000km on that C20GET )
We did manage to rack up some rather large speeding tickets but all in all it was a really fun trip.
At one point a jackass in a red pickup pulled over in front of us while we were both pulled over by a cop....and he started telling the cop how we were reckless drivers passing multiple cars on double solid lines.
Luckily the cop just gave us tickets for speeding... but she did phone in all the police stations ahead of us for about four hours to make sure that they knew we were coming.
We left very early friday morning and got back at 3am last night.... needless to say.... we are both extreemly tired.
Updates on the project will start soon..... hopefully I will be able to get it up and on the road within a few weeks.... depends on a few factors.... I might just trailer it around to various places for now.
) but we tried to make due with some steel epoxy.
But then again.... I bought it for $1000 and the guy spent over $8000 so I guess I made out pretty well.
