Beach Cruiser
Tried to insert some project pictures, but I don't have rights for that yet I guess... 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.

For open tracking, pro touring, just for the hell of it to have an uber-cool ride, or all of the above??
loudes13
here's the previous owner driving the car I bought. I'll use it for NASA TT.

Beach Cruiser
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.



Here's a link to a couple videos, one of my autocross this November and the other of me goofing around at said autocross.

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.





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.



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. biggrin.gif



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?



loudes13
ice racing is SOOOOOO much fun!

Its my 'current' project not by choice, others house and car projectes are currently on hold for the moment. I have to actully get out there right now and get going on it. Goodbye.

it is EXACTLY an ESP car. This picture was taken when we were running Time Only runs in the afternoon. My .sig was "old" for some reason didn't show my class correctly, but I have fixed it now..

It could be a CP car, but that would mean running against the Lewis Mustang from Florida and I don't like the idea of racing a 2800 lb car with a 400 HP motor....

This is a pic of my '88 AS Camaro from the Runoffs. Besides regular off-season maintenance she's ready to go for next year. Hopefully I'll pick the right tires to run on during the race next year (long story).

Your side exit exhaust never gets crushed on compressions or curbing??

Yes actually. All new exhaust is on the short list for me this winter (ok maybe a little more than regular maintenance wink.gif)

I haven't weighed mine, but that's real close to where I'm at. It's very likely sub 3,000 lbs (I'm guessing that it's headed for 2,800) and about 400 flywheel hp.

I just need tires....wink.gif

1983 Z-28 Camaro:
Competed in Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs American Grandsport Class, 2001- 2004.
Competed in National Auto Sport Association American Iron Series, 2005.
Being prepared for NASA's Camaro-Mustang Challenge Series.
Currently, she is on jackstands, all of the wiring is out as I am getting ready to put in new electronics.
Putting 1LE calipers and rotors from 88 TA parts car. It came with the Wilwood hubs, but no rotors. That set up (Wilwood)is illegal for CMC. I can not find a 12 inch rotor. I'll probably up grade to a 1998 fronts after I get everything together.
Two WC T-5's to be gone through.
305 to rebuild.
Need to replace the windshield yet.
I probably be putting a new cage. I have to check the legality of the Competition Engineering cages that are available.
There is a Autopower bolt in now, and it needs to be updated (dash bar and another door bar). It is cheaper for me to buy a new CE cage then update the one I have.
Go to www.dillinderracing.com and to the photos page to see what she looks like.
You'll also see the GT-1 car I get to play with also.

Here's my '94 Z28 at Mid Ohio a couple weeks ago. I won TTD, and wasn't far off the track record with only 2 dry sessions.

I love it when old threads come back to life....


1996 Camaro B4C

7 successfull ORR races with 2 podiums > 130mph average














Couldn't have done it without the help from this board -- no way-no how.

Mine is basically a shell with 4 wheels and porsche brakes on it right now :|

Toasted the motor at Nashville Superspeedway.. hasn't moved under it's own power since sad.gif

SStrokerAce has part of my motor... and the car should be dropped off next week for a cage install...





Sooooon!

Another monster motor Chris?

I have been thinking about un-mothballing my car for a run at the Texas Mile this fall. It is just a laid back weekend speed fest at Goliad. You up for some of that? Maybe we could get Guy to show up as well?
GuySS
Keep pestering me and I might just make it to Goliad this year. I have nothing of my own to really run down there but I might convince some Houston friends to make the event and tag along with them.

Kevin,

I just have trouble getting motivated without the kids being involved. The car is race ready-- just like it came off the trailer at Nashville.

Guy,

Run the black car -- I bet you would see 160+. Entry fees are pretty cheap. Only problem with Goliad is there are really no decent motels close. The airport is out in the BOONIES.
GuySS
Andy, the black car you are thinking of is under a tarp in back of the garage. The current black car is almost bone stock and that's why I don't think it would be much fun at Goliad.
98_1LE
I bet you could run 150 in the mile Guy, or uber close. I really want to go this year, but it is too early to commit.
GuySS
As it rolls closer, we will see if I can find something to pull down there on the trailer.
CJ-TA
Andy - Not nearly as monster as before... not yet anyway.

Tx Mile would be a blast... *trying* to have the car together for a RR event at Harris Hill Road on June 14th... I'll be cutting it close!

Speaking of.. any of you Tx boy's interested in running at this new track? www.rgvpca.org for more info...
