Huh?

Micheal Bay is doing a remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and making them aliens from a turtle based planet. He'll ruin it just like he ruined Transformers. Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles, :barf:

I'm seriously on the edge of going back to the complete fucking asshole I use to be. Being a dick just because i'm able to be with the purpose of making people hate me. Seems life was so much simpler when I was that way. No one follows the "never mistake kindness for weakness" mantra these days.

Maybe it was simpler, but probably not better, and hard to believe it'd be better over the long run. People like that poison themselves slowly over life. It's ugly. Being a decent person is the greater challenge anyway. You want it easy? :judge:

[enkeivette]

That youre even questioning it shows you have a conscience. Avoid that dilemma. Great pain breeds greatness, focus on self-improvement.

Congratulations dude. Good luck with the process. It gets fairly stressful during backgrounds and such.

[Shaolin Crane]

Meh. I've been through backgrounds before.

[Vettezuki]

I hope they call me for a reference.

"Yeah, no, Guy is great. Now, let's talk about a plan for total global anarchy. . . "

You know what would suck? Driving an 11 second fox body all day then having to chase people in a 15 second cop car.

[Ryridesmotox]

Try a 16 second cop car. New mini vans have 300 HP v6 motors... The old crown Vic are barely pushing 250. And with the cage, lights, radio equipment, and computers add about 800lbs to the dry weight. They handle surprisingly well. I had one in a full on 4 wheel drift at 85mph in academy on a pretty tight course. It handled it like a champ... Although my butthole puckered so tight I couldn't shit right for a week.

[enkeivette]

Are you a cop?

[enkeivette]

Anyone going to the faggy fords forever thing?

[fiveohwblow]

You know what would suck? Driving an 11 second fox body all day then having to chase people in a 15 second cop car.

I would think his would be a 10 second but not sure what his suspension setup is. Either way, that does suck.

[Shaolin Crane]

[enkeivette]

And I thought your car was setup for autocross? Not drag...

[Shaolin Crane]

All around. It's set up for nothing in particular. The gray car is set up for straight road course.

[enkeivette]

So... how fast do you think my car would be with slicks? Assuming the diff can take it

[Shaolin Crane]

Weight? Hp? Gearing?

[enkeivette]

Never ask a lady what she weighs. I dunno, prob brought it down to 3100 then back up to 3200. Hp, 720? Gears, 3.73. T56

[94cobra69ss396]

Chevelle weighs 3500lbs with me in it, put down 530rwhp on the 150 shot and ran a best of 10.01 at 133 on the 250 shot.

[enkeivette]

You ran a 10.01?! Keep going! Thats a 9 second car

[94cobra69ss396]

That's the plan. I have a couple things that I'm changing on it when the trans goes back in that I'm hoping will get me in the 9's.

[enkeivette]

Off on the weight, you realize how much Ive taken off?

Ive taken off:
Huge steel vacuum tank/ frame member
Tank mounting hardware and brackets
Steel bumper was cut in half, bumper behind license plate removed
Front turn signals and metal brackets removed
Front urethane bumper exchanged with lighter fiberglass bumper
Rear urethane bumper exchanged with fiberglass
Both bumpers bonded in and metal mounting flanges removed, front and rear
AC compressor & surprisingly heavy mounting brackets removed
AC condenser & lines and related components removed
Aluminum radiator replaced steel unit
Mechanical fan, clutch, and shroud removed
Aluminum water pump replaced iron unit
Power steering pump and mounting hardware removed
Power steering Control ram and related hoses and lines removed
Smog pump and mounting hardware removed
Steel AIR injection lines removed
EGR removed
Aluminum fuel pump
Alarm system and horn removed
Rear speakers removed
Ebrake replaced with lighter Mustang ebrake
Steel console support removed
Console replaced with custom fiberglass
Seats replaced with lighter seats
Seat tracks removed and seats bolted to the floor
Headliners removed and mounting flanges shaved off
Front suspension lighter... but rear spring heavier, so thats a wash
AND OH YEAH...
Aluminum T56 replaced the automatic trans
Aluminum Pro 5.0 shifter (prob not lighter, but damn I love that thing) :)
Centerforce flywheel replaced the TC
Iron heads replaced with aluminum heads
Iron intake replaced with aluminum intake
Aluminum pistons :p (Prob not even enough to compensate for the crank)
Iron manifolds replaced with steel long tubes
Heavy ass 70s catalytic converter is obviously history
Stock mufflers replaced with bullets
Stock dual y pipe exhaust tubing was heavier, but with the dual 3" its probably a wash
Lighter alloy wheels replaced the stock steel wheels
Lower profile tires (rubber is heavy...)
Full size spare, and underbody spare tire carrier and lock removed
AND COMING SOON TO A STREET RACE NEAR YOU...
Lighter Z51 calipers and rotors in my garage to replace the heavy ass iron 4 piston units

[94cobra69ss396]

Why don't you just go and weigh it? The Cobra weighs 3442 with a fuel tank of gas but without me in it. I said the Chevelle weighs 3500 but it actually weighs 3520 with me in it and about 5 gallons of fuel. If I remember correctly, the Explorer weighed 4700 but I can't remember.

[enkeivette]

How? Im not driving my vette to the junkyard. Thats asking for paint/ body damage

[94cobra69ss396]

There are places you can go to weigh the car. When I worked in Anaheim years ago there was a place right down the street on Ball road. Check around.

[Vettezuki]

Get it weighed at Schorr Metals, about 5 minutes from where you live. There's a gas station right there. Tank up first. Cost is like 10 bucks and scale is +- 10lbs. I'm 3,100 full wet. Measured, not guessed. I have a lot more aluminum and composites than you do.

837 S Kraemer Blvd, Placentia, CA

You're also off on HP, but I only want to break one of your balls at a time.

[enkeivette]

Schorr metals will do it?

And I dont think you believe Im off on hp, in my hp guessing thread you guessed high. I think youre just taunting me.

Simpler solution, organize a free dyno day. If Bird could do it with a bunch of 200 hp C3s, you can do it with thrice the potential customers who all have thrice the horsepower.

Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben!!!!

[enkeivette]

PS, you also have a lot more smog equip, bumper hardware, and AC than I do :p

[enkeivette]

Is Adam really suggesting I spend countless hours organizing a massive car event so he doesnt have to spend $60? Yes, yes he is... Hahah

Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben! Gooo Ben!!!!

I guessed highish relative to others, I didn't guess anywhere near 720! I'd have to check but i think I put in for something like 580WHP. That's plausible.

Bird has old timey connections that I don't. I could put together a cheap day, but not a free one.

[Vettezuki]

PS, you also have a lot more smog equip, bumper hardware, and AC than I do :p

The AC compressor is heavy, the rest is not a big deal. I do have cast manifolds still as well. But my diff is aluminum, my spring is like a few pounds, my engine block and heads are aluminum, composite intake, no blower, intercooler, etc.

[Vettezuki]

I guess you are > 3,300 lbs full wet and < 620 WHP.

Booooom!

[Vettezuki]

Schorr metals will do it?

That's where I got my Vette weighed.

[enkeivette]

Formal Invitation:
To suck a dick!! Haha

Ok fine maybe shes a bit heavier than yours, your girl does get more exercise!

Im just kidding about the dyno day. Of course I can afford it, but until I land a FT job Im staying on my fiscal diet. Btw that employment law guy was just trying to scam free work out of me, tempting me with the prospect of FT employment... he succeeded.

Found out every single lawyer/ clerk/ intern he employed at his firm graduated from Chapman. And the girl who got the job over me had less experience, but went to Chapman. I only found out accidentally by reading a trail of an email from his secretary, who CC'd the new girl, and by doing some research. Funny he was trying to get ME to do the appeal for one of his biggest cases (challenging work) and not this new girl. Which tells me he had more respect for the work I had done, but not enough to sacrifice his alumni cult.

[enkeivette]

I guess you are > 3,300 lbs full wet and < 620 WHP.

Booooom!

Thats more than I was guessing, 720 engine hp equals 600 whp. You thought I was predicting 720 whp?? Come on man Im not a ricer, ha

My dyno guess thread I guessed 500 whp, because when it comes to hp figures people are usually disappointed.

[94cobra69ss396]

My dyno guess thread I guessed 500 whp, because when it comes to hp figures people are usually disappointed.

Not me, I've always been right where I thought. When I first put the 454 in the Chevelle and finished tuning it I wanted to make sure that the AFR was good. So I took it with me when I had the Cobra tuned back in 2004. We did the Cobra first and then the Chevelle. Steve asked me what I thought it would make and I said right around what the Cobra did on the race fuel tune which was 450rwhp and he said that it would probably only make around 350rwhp. After he made the pull he had a big smile on his face. It made 461rwhp and 460rwtq and the AFR hovered around 12.7-12.8. It made me feel proud of my build.

Yes, I thought you were saying now (intercooler, proper tune, more boost) that you were at 720WHP. I'd put you close to 600hp. I think I had you around 580 or something before. I was being generous but I thought it was plausible all things considered. But yeah, I thought you were saying 720 now, and I was saying like, uh, no.

People make odd economic decisions all the time. Let the market deal with him. You'll end up with a big boy firm, I'm 100% sure of it. You're as smart as any of the retainers I've brushed with here and the FTC guys are something crazy like $10,000/day or more,plus some other pile of BS.

Well, you know what you're doing, which tends to help with making estimates. But I've to agree with Adam generally, people tend to get a little overly generous about what they think their tweaks are going to add. When it comes to dynos, or anything car related, I'm more of the "show me" don't "tell me" camp. Most of the guys here have their head screwed on straight, but serious fantasizing is pretty common around the interwebs.

[enkeivette]

And back to my ques, my car how fast? Suppose its on the conservative ends, 3300lbs and 550 wheel horsepower. With 19" drag radials and Ron driving

[enkeivette]

844

Ha ha ha hoiiiiiii!!!!

[94cobra69ss396]

That's because they see all these high horsepower cars on the internet and think their should make close to those because they feel fast to them. The first time I took the Chevelle to the drag strip back in 1994 I thought it was going to run 12's. It ran a best of 14.02 at 99 on slicks that I borrowed from a friend. The fastest it went with that same engine setup was a 13.20 at 102. That was from changing shocks, Carb tuning, ignition, gears, etc. Then I changed the cam and went 12.90. Then I ported the heads and went 12.70's. Then I built the 454 and started in the 11.50's and with tuning and a clean up of the heads went a best of 10.99 at 122 on just engine. I'm hoping for 10.80-10.70 with the changes I have planned but we'll see.

Adam, traction is the key to what ET your car will run. From what I remember you saying your suspension is stiff. That's not good for weight transfer. My guess is you'll run around an 11.70-11.20 range at around 128-130.

[Shaolin Crane]

According to the calculators 10.30's but 11 flat is more my guess.

[94cobra69ss396]

Calculaters are optimistic. Remember, he has a T56. The Chevelle put 530rwhp on the 150 shot weighs 3500 and ran in the 10.40 range at around 128. That's with a better tuned suspension and an auto.

I bet he can't pull better than a 1.80 60ft on a 19 drag radials.

Well, for reference, my suspension is of a similar basic type and stiffness. I weigh 3,100lbs, and put down 390whp measured. My best at Fontana on DRs (255 x 17) was 12.6@112.5 w/2.0 60'. (http://motorgen.com/garage/timeslip.php?SlipID=136)

[enkeivette]

According to the calculators 10.30's but 11 flat is more my guess.

Why slower than your car? I thought your car had all around suspension and less hp?

Not that I disagree. I figured my car was 11s capable... but I would say that about your fox too.

Isnt Rons Cobra in the 11s?

[enkeivette]

Thats a good slip to have Ben, fastest 82 I know of. Anyone faster on CF?

[enkeivette]

Also, as far as drag suspension, dont you want stiff in the back, soft up front? To reduce squat but help weight transfer (RWD).

[fiveohwblow]

"...maybe sometime we'll get some coffee, and... you can tell me how you could do that to another dude."

[Vettezuki]

Thats a good slip to have Ben, fastest 82 I know of. Anyone faster on CF?

I'm sure there's an 82' faster with a nice old time SBC and drag setup somewhere. But I gotta be up there I figr. There weren't many made and they sure as hell weren't fast!

I know of an 82' BBC TT somewhere in Michigan AIR that was over 1,000hp that I think ran. And of course Marc's 82' will be the fastest in the history of mankind if he finishes it. Though arguably, that's just a custom car with an 82 skin.

The price would have to be outer space. It's an expression of himself, or a kind of monument to himself if you want to think of it that way. I don't think he'd even begin consideration until you get into the six figures. But if you want to talk about one of a kind, there it is.

[enkeivette]

[Vettezuki]

Well, I don't know what they hell you mean by rich, but to me it certainly includes being able to comfortably write a check for a toy in the six figures. You're going to have to start seeing the world differently, No more having people like me shitty-weld stuff for you, making your own PVA with acetone and wax or whatever the fuck that was. Basically, you ain't a redneck no more. .

[enkeivette]

Lmao :laughing:

[Shaolin Crane]

If I get rich, i'll still do shit like that. DIY foe life.

[94cobra69ss396]

Isnt Rons Cobra in the 11s?

My best with the 302 was an 11.69 @ 118 but that was with a different suspension than I have now. With this suspension my best was in the 11.80's. I also ran 26x11.5x17 MT ET Street slicks and dropped the clutch at 6000 rpms when I ran the 11.69.

Here's the video that has the 11.69 in it. Also, that Chevelle is my Chevelle. It was the first time back at the track after I installed the MSD ignition and I was trying to get the timing set right so that it would run the same times as it did with the old Mallory stuff. I had to advance the timing from 36 to 42 degrees.

[enkeivette]

Youve got some damn fast cars Ron. I wonder how your stroker will do. Theres guys out there in supercars that couldnt pin you down in a street race, something to be proud of.

And Im taking that to mean, my 11 second approximation for Guy's Fox was pretty decent. Dont see how he would be at least 7/10ths faster than Rons Cobra.

Because fox. You didn't know?

[enkeivette]

I dont know much about Foxes, but unless theyre 800lbs lighter than 4th gens, that aint no 10 second car son. Unless youre just using a dyno calculator.

[fiveohwblow]

I dont know much about Foxes, but unless theyre 800lbs lighter than 4th gens, that aint no 10 second car son. Unless youre just using a dyno calculator.

LOL. I have several buddy's with sub 500@ rwhp foxes making 10 second passes. More turbo guys than anything but to be fair they have the right suspension for drag only application. Guy should be close considering he should have substantially more than 500 rwhp, and I also assume his weight is less than you think. Factory GT's were a hair over 3100 and I believe guy has done some lightening. I'm merely playing in this thread as its tbe bs thread, but I believe you'll be surprised. There's a reason every redneck in America has purchased a 5.0 at some time or another. Cheap to go fast, and cheap.

[94cobra69ss396]

I don't think Guy's Mustang will be in the 10's but his Fox is lighter. The Cobra is a little over 3600lbs with me in it and I only have 3.55 gears. I'm not sure what my Cobra will run when the tune is finished but I'm guessing at around 11.50-11.40 at around 122-123. We'll see one day when they open Fontana back up.

[94cobra69ss396]

As Guys Mustang sits right now it will only run as fast as his truck can pull it, 20.00 maybe?

[fiveohwblow]

As Guys Mustang sits right now it will only run as fast as his truck can pull it, 20.00 maybe?

Now that the price of the C7 has been released i'm hoping the price of C5's will fucking tank and I can finally get one.

[enkeivette]

They might go down a bit, but theyll level off. Just like the Supra and my car, theyre too desirable to drop to nothing.

[Vettezuki]

They're already pretty darn low. I don't see tanking from where they are. What would that even mean? $5k for a C5Z that's in decent shape?. I don't see that happening.

[enkeivette]

Especially not when people are paying that for a rebuildable LS1

[enkeivette]

How does the shifter feel in a C5-C6? Like a FWD car? Kind of rubbery I would think.

I love the feeling of a solid ratchet shifter in the trans with a short throw. Not saying I wouldnt give it up for a new Vette

[Shaolin Crane]

They might go down a bit, but theyll level off. Just like the Supra and my car, theyre too desirable to drop to nothing.

Several floating around 8k.

[enkeivette]

Wow

[Shaolin Crane]

Yeah. There was a time where c4 absolutely tanked. I'm talking 1-2k for clean running cars, they'll dip pretty serious hopefully and i'll get to grab one finally.

[Vettezuki]

Considering the engine packages from wreckers and salvage donor cars are in the 2-5 range, I think the market is probably flattening out around a bottom. Also, the economy in general is picking up notably and you're not the only "Guy" (ha, see what I did there) to know that a C5 is a good platform and want one.

[enkeivette]

I want a C6 GS, I love those factory flares. Although I wouldnt mind getting a C5 /C6 and doing some custom flares.

Hey Brutal, you ever get that Grand Sport? I saw one the other day... so sexy. I may have violated the sanctity of my relationship with my Vette

[Vettezuki]

Harsh.....:inout:

Guy likes it rough. Plus he is pretty good at finding deals. I'll give him that. I haven't been in this market for a while so I suspect it might be down a little from when I was in it, but $1,500 for LS+T56 (you know, together not a couple scattered bits and pieces) and several, not just one temporary outlier from a desperation sale, smelled like crackhead territory.

PS, the $2400 motor is hydrolocked. So really what we've got on ebay is $4800-5500

[Vettezuki]

I spent $2,500 on my H&C long block and thought it was a pretty good price. . .

Thats a fantastic price, I spent $1200 on my trans... although in Guys defense, LT1 T56s go for a lot more than LS1 T56s.

I looked a couple weeks ago for a project for 2 different people. I doubt i'll be able to provide links as they are gone as soon as they're posted. But my RSS, live update and constant search feeds showed me at least 5 in the past 4 weeks. These aren't "complete" motors per say. Sometimes they're missing intakes or accessories but still very doable for a budget.

Excellent base for a high power engine. Not an LS1 (all aluminum). And price does not include trans.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/3721151098.html

Good base. Gonna cost you some time and money to finish.

Neither of these are anywhere near LS1 AND T56 for $1,500.

Ya they both don't have trans but saying its gonna cost you 4k for a ls1 and t56 is on the high side, right now the price is about 2.5K for a good LS with a t56

and a LQ9 is a better then a LS1 in a lot of ways. yes its iron but all that means is more boost lol

[Vettezuki]

You guys obviously don't have to answer for how much things cost to anyone. I get a 5% window on estimates for proejcts. Outside that, got some splain'n to do. Let's be nice and say $2.5k for "ok" sort of together LS1+T56. That's 60%.

and a LQ9 is a better then a LS1 in a lot of ways. yes its iron but all that means is more boost lol

It's better in precisely one way, it's stronger. Though, notably stronger as it is basically the same mold as the aluminum block which has to be strong for aluminum, but since it's iron, it's much stronger. It's worse in one clear way, heavier, and one marginal way, heat retention vs. aluminum.

So I did my best to light foot the truck to test out the mileage. Other then a few 4x4 launches(which is awesome btw) I've picked up about 100-120 miles per tank after the swap. Truck has near zero smoke, should have done it sooner.

[heypal]

Headers and a tune. I compete in the stock class for Corvette Challenge, I think I'm tied for 3rd right now.

I have the impala but its stock all but the stereo now, sold off everything else since someone stole my $2000 heads when they were getting ported(the guy doing the porting closed up shop). My gsxr was stolen from my buddies house in Chino Hills before we went for a ride.

[enkeivette]

Did you file a police report? When did this happen? For outright theft you can sue the owner of the business, even if its dissolved.

Did insurance cover any of it? Your bike?

After some stuff is sorted to be a little more robust for this kind of pushing, I'd be curious as all hell to see what a pro could do in my C3. As it is I think I might be slightly more powerful and lighter than you now. But the suspension, especially the short rear TAs make the chassis do weird shit under heavy breaking.

[enkeivette]

Get rid of your TAs if they bother you, do some forum searching on Vettemod and link your rear suspension like TT did.

[enkeivette]

I dunno, Id have to check, its prob 2 or 3 years. Trespass to chattle is an uncommon COA nowadays. And without some decent evidence to prove theft he would be more likely to recover under a negligence theory.

The police report just helps your credibility when evidence is otherwise lacking. And if you dont file it, of course the judge will ask, why not?

[Vettezuki]

Get rid of your TAs if they bother you, do some forum searching on Vettemod and link your rear suspension like TT did.

I have researched this. . . Some basics

TT's car is a concept as much as anything. It's nowhere near done.
TT's rear suspension is a FULLY ENGINEERED ONE OFF. . . with drawings and shit . . he will NOT give out.

I plan on Guldstrand if I do anything. The "cheap" way out is what I've done already, and that is to pretty stiffly spring it to prevent "dive" under hard braking. You want to do this anyway obviously, but the old TA is way more unpredictable.

Basically the short version of this story is the guy who stole my heads (Roy) was and still is a BAD ASS machinist that my friend and I along with many other people have used multiple times before. He fixed my block when a piston melted and went to go port my aftermarket heads. Got the block back (did a great job) and my friend got his built LS with ported 243 heads back. Cool my stuff was to be next...then my ferrea valves got "lost in shipping" he said then this that and the other thing happened and he turned off his phone. The guy Roy use to pick up everything from my friends house and then we would just pay him when he came back with paper work and cash. Come to find out he was ripping a few people off and his actual work was shut down for awhile and he was working at friends shops doing the work needed. Which was great work when you got it I guess, but we considered Roy a friend and well he screwed me over and I should have never gone with a "Friend".

The bike got paid off then I bought the Z a few months later and now we are here :D.

This is part of the equation and has to do with basic desirability for life partner; someone who has their shit together and makes a stable/solid link. The other part of it is that those late teen early twenties ages, the boys and girls are just that, basically emotional children who don't really even know themselves that well and are filled with anxieties of their own. I don't think all of their behavior is intentionally douchey, just sort of works out that way. The sad part is how many never seem to move beyond there! On the additional downside Guy, your fairly militant anti-kid position is going to further cut your pool down by quite a lot; the women who do and don't want to have kids are NOT even close to equal in number. (This doesn't matter until you're looking for life partner, but it sure as hell does then. Probably the single most important thing to be on at least roughly the same page about, money being the other one WAY up on the scale.)

I don't seem to have a hard time finding women who hate children as much as I do. It's the games and whatnot that i'm growing weary of. Then again, for whatever reason I keep attracting the 19-21yo group. What I do know, is they're all batshit crazy.

They're not all insane. Promise. Though ironically the ones who hate kids are probably the ones more likely to be batshit crazy, because that's not so typical for women. Nothing wrong with not having kids (and lot if having them when you DON'T want them and just thin you're supposed to), just say'n, it wouldn't surprise me if the less "challenging" women are the one's who are not so anti-kid. Just my hypothesis. THat shit changes as they get older too.

Wasn't crying, I've been fucking with it trying to figure out whats up with it, now I know. There is no tossing a piston back in when it's got a hole. Just gonna toss the spare forged motor in whenever I get some money.

[enkeivette]

I've melted holes in two pistons now. In and out with the flex hone, examine the valves for damage, copper spray on the MLS, in with the new piston.

Yup. Did it for my dad's boat, all my trucks, cars, customer cars, etc. Cuts down removal time by at least 70% and makes it much easier to do alone.

It's native HD up to 60fs.
