thats not nice:tut

i think your car looks dumband i think you suck at pictures and burnouts. but whatever

looks good im jealous kinda

props to you for taking the opportunity

[bigred240sx]

looks good. i wish i could say i have been to the speedway and been able to do that. not a fan of domestic motor swaps in the cars. but still love to see it done when its correct. can we get a video of you spinning it around...please?

[Nali]

Grant, you haven't paid much attention.Most modded S13 'vert in existence... S/C my G Coupe... restoring 4 classic Dattos... Adapted disc brakes to old Datsuns... Two boosted cars, a couple old musclecar restorations, a World of Wheels contender, resto of a 49 Olds, and tons of other projects I just had a hand in (but weren't mine).20-30 hours? LOL - I spent more than that just on intercooler piping. You don't want to compare garages, son. You'll get props for your drops, but that's where it ends.

i wonder how/if yokota is gonna make a comeback

[AZhitman]

No need.

Grant's good at what he does, and he knows wheel fitment better than most anyone I know.

But to disrespect the effort and ingenuity that went into a car that took hundreds of hours to build is simply retarded.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Any pics of this poster you speak of?

I'm not even done editing them, and none are uploaded to a public host. We'll post them up when we have decided what to go with. It will be its own thread.

[yokota180sx]

yep total blog noobtotali dont even have the care to update it. its sad

Just for hating on random photography, I'm going to have to point out that you have a WP.com hosted blog and domain.

blog n00b.

I kid, I kid.

dude, if i kept a car for more than 6 months it might matter. Fact is, im doing more in 6 months to EVERY car i own, than most people in 3 years....

and i AM the best at what i do and how i do it. GIve me a wheel, and a car, and i can make it fit, and make it perfect. its just what i pride myself at.

regardless. the OP car still is a stock car with a v8.....appearance is everything.Nice color though

[spooled240]

^how would you have built it? i am curious

[yokota180sx]

9.5s all around with starspecs, aragosta coils, almost on the ground, URAS GT kit, and the b**** woudl be on the track, constantly. Its too pretty with all that power. its like having a 900HP supra with a stock body. just means your a dyno queen

^how would you have built it? i am curious

[S13_love]

^ I couldn't find any other emoticon thing other than that to express what I felt after reading your post. Let alone this part by itself.

Why is this bad?

[OutToWinPAHC]

Tim,Check the sig, thats the guy who did my header and intake tube. I know you wanted yours done too....

Oh, and you need a UPS power guy at work

[C3Sierra_S2000]

For the most part I have tried to stay out of this but I do have a few things to say.I have easily 30 hours or more in the wiring on this car. It took 3 months total of late nights and weekends to build this car. It was never meant to be a track car as it was built far too nice for that. I wanted a very capable street car that was very quick. That is why my car has A/C, XM radio, NAV, and leather interior. I drive this car and like to be comfortable doing it. It gets driven hard on the street and is not babied at all. The ride height is set where it can be driven and even at the height it is I can only barely get it in my driveway. I am running the JDM aero for two reasons. First I think it looks best out of all the kits I have seen. It suits my tastes, it's my car, that's what I went with. Second is that it fits right out of the box. Nothing looks worse to me than I'll fitting fiberglass parts. If I wanted fiberglass I would buy a Vette or a boat. So to sum it all up, I built it for me and to showcase what my custom shop is capable of. To those that like it, thanks. To those that don't, no worries, it's fast enough that you don't have to look at it long.

[C3Sierra_S2000]

Kevin,Thanks for thr info. I am going to pull the trans this winter for a rebuild. It is starting to suffer already lol. Shen I do I will pull the parts to get coated and do a few other projects I have planned for it.

[pj]

you sir, are a gentleman.

[White Comet]

whats wrong with the trans? just wear and tear? is it a t56?

[AZhitman]

...and the b**** woudl be on the track, constantly.

Never thought you were a track guy. Do tell.

Oh, and Tim, don't worry about the trans.

Just meet me in San Antonio with the title.

[C3Sierra_S2000]

When I started building this car I had 2 T56 transmissions. Both were low mileage rebuilds that were supposed to be in good working order. The one that was in the car when I had the LS1 in it had a cracked 3rd gear synchro so when you tried to shift into 3rd at WOT it would grind. So I took a gamble and tried the other behind the L92 motor. It is in worse shape than the first trans. It has serious issues getting into reverse and sometimes locks out various gears at various different times. It wasn't too bad at first but the more I thrash on it the worse it is getting. The car has spent most of its life with me sideways with lots of tire smoke coming out the rear so that doesn't help matters. I pretty much knew that no stock T56 would live behind the motor I built but under time constraints I decided to just run it until it broke. I will take it out this winter and do a rebuild on it myself and beef it up to handle the power. Stock T56 trans are known to break with stock LS1 power. They don't handle bigger horsepower very well. It would survive longer in the S chassis though because of the lighter weight. If you build them though they can handle upwards of 1000hp with Viper internals.

Greg,I'm not quite finished with it yet. There are still a few things I want to get done before I could sell it. Plus I am still having lots of fun with it. I was tempted to trade you but buying the supercharged VQ would be a waste for me. I would just slap a LS in there LOL. You will be the first to know when she officially goes up for sell.

[AZhitman]

I wish I had done an LS in both of my boosted cars!

[OutToWinPAHC]

simple solution greg...... trade me

thats some bad luck and i didnt know about using viper internals. my brother got burned on his first t56 too, the guy said it was rebuilt but they effed something up in it. he found a place that sells remanned ones and offers a 12 month warranty. and for his hp a stock t56 is fine

stock ka? with whacked suspension geometry and bump-steer? sounds like a form > function drift slut rather than a full-time track car

i thought you meant in addition to his stuff?Im a BIG fan of the v8. just wish there was more to it

sorry, i didnt get down to modified knuckles, control arms, etc etc etc in my short, abreviated build.

None of my cars have bump steer. even my cedric

I personally wouldn't waste my money on a t56... even the viper spec has been known to snap things in cobras at the strip.

The TKO is where its at, even at 5 speeds. I hear the 6060 is quite an improvement as well.

[VRoy]

To those that like it, thanks. To those that don't, no worries, it's fast enough that you don't have to look at it long.

cant wait until i can honestly say that to almost everyone that looks at a picture of my car and has a sandy vag about it. This is sig material.

makes sense. my brother thought about the tko as well but he's not making enough power to kill the t56 and since it's 6 spd he can cruise on the hwy at just over idle
