Finally getting stuff done on our cars

niterydr · 10-18-2005

This thread will be updated fairly regularly for progress on the shop owner/employee vehicles.
So check the back pages for updates.

**Now I have nothing to say since the pics show up =\**

It's good to see things coming together! Keep it up. I know it's hard working on your own stuff after spending the whole day wrenching on others stuff but just keep grindin'

'06 will be the year!

Those gauges look nice in there.

Matt D. · 10-19-2005

Awesome work, guys. Glad to see you guys keeping your head above water and having fun.

Stewart Warner gauges are by far the best looking gauges I have seen. Too bad there's a ton of people stuck on Autometer.

ehhhh, is John cars missing a pedal?

Nice work on your own rides!

Enes · 10-19-2005

He don't need no brakes!

Jakey · 10-19-2005

I'm not too familiar with 3S interiors, were there vents where your gauges are now Swanny?

**Kracka** · 10-19-2005

There were factory gauges where Swanny put his aftermarket ones. The aftermarket ones look nice in there...I'll have to come check it out in person sometime. Since we're talking about gauges, my personal favorites are Defi, but damn are they spendy.

I am so glad I don't make my living turning wrenches anymore.

Now I can just do it when the mood hits me.

Good job on the cars so far. How about some more pics?

**Goat Blower** · 10-19-2005

Yeah, those gauges look nice in there. Kinda like a factory gauge pod. That's even better than the HVAC dial location in the DSM's.

niterydr · 10-19-2005

Thanks for the comments. I was going for a 'like factory' look, they even light up red, kinda close to the factory cluster.
Johns car is missing a pedal, good catch

.
We have a few more pics up on the site in the gallerys of the cars.
I figure we'll post updates occasionally on the progress.

A//// Guy · 10-19-2005

Lookin Good!!

niterydr · 10-21-2005

More progress on the cage.

Another angle.

Jakey · 10-21-2005

Is any of the interior going back in?

niterydr · 10-21-2005

On johns car? LOL. Class min weight is 2100lbs, and we are dammed if we don't get there. My car is the "full weight" street car/pump gas warrior, the only street john's car will see is between the shop and the trailer.

So I take it that John's car is going to resemble Joe Bucci's Goodwill Laser in terms of weight reduction when it's ready to head to the track?

Do you have a link to the rules for the class John will be running in?

Pushit2.0 · 10-22-2005

-NHRA Hot Rod class, AWD 4g63 2.0, 2 power adders and an aftermarket tranny min. weight 2175lbs w/ driver and turbo limited to T04 exhaust housing and a 74mm compressor wheel.

-NDRA Pro 4 class, AWD 4g63 2.0, 2 power adders, and an aftermarket tranny min. weight 1800lbs w/ driver and turbo limited to T04 exhaust housing and a 78mm compressor wheel.

You can run meth in both classes, no tire size rules, slim rules on the interior besides safty equipment. I am looking more at the NDRA class its a little more open with the rules and its the market we are looking at getting with this car.

slowbubblecar · 10-23-2005

wow, that car should fly. Josh, what turbos or turbo are you going with?

niterydr · 10-23-2005

i am just running 2x tdo5 14b-6cm2. Should be good for a tad bit over 500whp.
Just your average low 11 second 3s hopefully

. A "fun" street car is the goal.
John has a gt42 for his setup.
