That said, it goes like stink. |
Oh I don't doubt a coldside whipple will get up and go. Does it have the optional FMIC setup?
|
Smallish FMIC. Dave bought a larger ebay IC to use, but I'm probably going to swap the 12 PSI pulley back on in the near future before I start messing with the IC. Not sure what kind of longevity I should really expect at 19 PSI.
|
So did you fly up here and drive it back or what?
|
Nope, drove to and from with my dad. Left at 4 AM, got home around 6:30 PM.
|
geez this car is changing owners like a slut.
one of the few supercharged cars I really liked and would drive myself. 200tq (or whatever it was) at 2.5k rpm is pretty tits |
I didn't push it much on the drive home, but I'll say this -- 5th gear passing on the interstate is effortless.
I'll start a new build thread on it soon, but off the top of my head, it needs: 1. New dash harness, gauge panel, and speedo cable installed to fix non-working gauges. Dave set me up with the harness and panel, so I just need to order a speedo cable. 2. 12 PSI pulley installed to move the blower back into a more efficient range with less heat. 3. New tune to fix the idle (which bounces between 1k and 2k constantly) and the too rich current state. Also stumbles off-throttle a lot. If the idle doesn't play nice, then I might be tracking down a vacuum leak. 4. Soft-top (from Dave) installed properly...Dave ran out of time and just bolted it in place. Might just put the hard top on until I can buy a roll bar for it anyway. 5. Ebay steering wheel (has old worn NA wheel on it now). 6. 90-93 seatbelt stalks...Dave swapped in some 90-93 seats which are good, but re-used the 94-97 stalks on the tunnel. They sit way too far back to be convenient. There's a 93 at the local pull-a-part so I'm hoping it'll still have the belts in it. Those 6 things will take care of most of the car's serious annoyances. Then, I'll start investigating a quieter exhaust (Racing Beat header and FM stainless exhaust right now, terribly boomy), some frame rails, that kind of stuff. |

Will sub that build thread, I've always wanted to see the inner workings of this beast. |

I thought that was definitely a neat setup on the car when I saw it, with a little attention that it sounds like you're ready to give to it, it'll be a very nice car. Good luck with it!
