Here is a teaser (not an f-body, but close!): (IMG:http://mowhineracing.com/ch13/grid2.jpg) And yes, I passed the Ferrari. A very nice F355 Challenge car. This post has been edited by Mojave: May 4 2008, 05:58 PM |

That makes me think of Kevin (trackbird) No, It is the "Victory Celebration"! Apparently some folks need to work on their "Bench racing" and "Story Telling" skills.

Tried to insert some project pictures, but I don't have rights for that yet I guess... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) Current car is a 2000 WS6 M6 car with Koni's and and F Stock trim. I got spanked by a Shelby last weekend, hope it's not a indication of next year... The car I"m building is a 67 Rally Sport with full C4 IRS and a C5 front clip. (that's corvette stuff for you f-body guys... :-) ) Hope the have the rolling chassis done by the summer.

Cruising the strip at the Beach! and all of the above... Put the rear end back in the car today, ready to take off the roteserie and start building the front clip. Full coil over conversion for the IRS in the rear, no leaf's anywhere on the car. Tubbed for 315's in the rear and hoping to get 275's on the front. Pro-touring is the inspiration, but it will be a auto-x, HPDE, Track car at heart. If someone could share with me how to post pics I'd be glad to share...

Mine is a work in progress at this point. It's a 1994 B4C hardtop 6-speed car. The interior has been removed (more will be) I've installed a rollbar until I do a full cage later. I have yet to fabricate mounts for my seats and then I'll install my 6-point harnesses. LS1 front brakes with blainefab ducts, stainless hoses, tubular UMI upper and lower control arms, LG rear adjustable LCA's & PHR, LG super sport springs, Koni SA shocks, 35mm front sway, larger rear to be added soon.
Current engine has a big cam (bigger than LT4 hot cam) with ported heads and intake along with bigger fuel system. Needs some tuning and headers, but it goes like a scalded cat. I plan to run NASA HPDE's with it for a year or two, then do TT, and after that either CMC or AI. Here's a pic of what it looked like a while ago, it's still being updated though. I'm ditching the current attempt at a front spoiler for something attached with Dzus fasteners to make it easier to get on and off the trailer. (IMG:http://www.demiloproductions.com/mispeed/images/photo/Carmello_3.jpg) Here's a link to a couple videos, one of my autocross this November and the other of me goofing around at said autocross. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl3uwqPeykk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48w1Ct4VGK0 |

Here's mine. Daily driver/autocrosser. Pretty basic so far. Just Strano springs and offset bushings, Koni 4/4 SA shocks. Magnaflow catback. Running on your standard issue SS 10 spokes with 275/45/17 Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires.
These pics were taken the same day i finished the suspension install. No action shots yet. (IMG:http://home.gci.net/~crashingtiger/Camaro/CamaroDroppedQuarterView.JPG) (IMG:http://home.gci.net/~crashingtiger/Camaro/CamaroDroppedSideView.JPG) edit: haha... there is this action shot! My very first autocross event, it was bone stock then... was even still on the factory Goodyear all-seasons. (IMG:http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/2798/hardonthebrakesby5.jpg) Here is my current project. 1987 Nissan 300ZX Turbo, 5spd. It's got the factory adjustable shocks on it! It's going to be a door-to-door/ice racer. Paid $300 for it. As you can see, it needs some help. You can just barely see the roof of my Camaro on the side. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4676/img2658ca2.jpg) Just for fun, this was my Winter beater/ice racer from last year... i sold this car a couple of months ago. We race all year in Alaska, we just do it a bit differently in the Winter. lol. 1990 Acura Integra, 5spd. Can you tell I had fun?
