Stephen Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 heres a northstar v8 swap underway heres a video of the turbo 3800 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JoBmKNfTl70 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lNMDXcfg0FQ&...feature=related he had a coolant leak in the 2nd video Got to working on the car over the last few months. The goal this year is just like other years, to go faster than last year. I would really like to be able to drive the car to the track, run somewhere in the 10's and drive home. To get this done I have added a set of Tein SuperStreet coil-overs with a 1000lb spring in the rear. Moving up to MT Drag ET 26x10x15 slicks mounted on 15x9 Weld light weight race wheels. A Greddy speed cut controller was wired in to allow the car to run a lower amount of boost of the line with higher boost coming in later on down the track. At this point brakes had to be addresses. I am waiting on a Wilwood kit for the fronts and I hope to make a custom setup using Wilwood parts for the rear sometime soon. An 8-point roll bar was installed complete with swing out bars on both sides of the car. Racespec seats were then installed with Sparco 4 point harnesses with cam lock buckles. I also decided to V-band the crossover pipe and manifolds for a better seal and cleaner look. The car is currently at the body shop getting resprayed for our first local show in a few weeks. I don't have pics of everything right now but when I do I will put them up. Here are the pics I have up to now...
