Man, there's some amazing cars in this thread. Makes me wish I were a better photographer. My pic's composition is crap, but the content roxx.... a flock of '92 'verts. They're normally solitary creatures, but I was lucky enough to stumble upon three in an all-too-rare social setting. someone cue up the Mutual of Omaha song... (showing my age here... anyone remember Mutual of Omaha's Wild kingdom?)




Mine's the one closest to the camera....

Funny how you are hanging on to that 20 sec 1/4 mile time. That was quite a while ago. Got the major kinks worked out and actually the car is running 16s in the 1/4, with a 3555 lb body & no traction.

Oh 3.1EyeCandy...we now have matching door panels! Finally got to redoing the interior in red! So I have the red and black hampton vinyl PMDs with the interior panels now black with red hampton vinyl inserts to match. There are laid out just like my grey and black ones were.

My story is this...(from another post)

Yep I'm still alive...so I have been missing from the internet. Because of the job I got last Aug, I could not get online at work like I used to. At home... Up until a few days ago I had some serious cable issues with my cable modem...can you say idoit cable repair guys! I had tried cable because the phone lines here have always carried to much static, so the dial up and dsl route did not work! SO I went with cable...good idea, yeah right.

I have been complaining for years about poor tv reception. At one point they inspected the cable lines & said I had a negative input. Instead of replacing the line, the put in an amp. Well that sort of worked, till I got internet cable access a few monthes ago. It never worked, thought it was a virus, but it was the darn old lines from the road. So finally after all these years of bad reception & complaining someone finally agreed w/ me and replaced the freaking line up to the road. I can finally get online and see all my channels clear! Yeah!

Now I just have to find time to post...I have a ton of emails to check up on. My website is a mess...cardomain did something and all my pics are mixed up. Then when I do move them the sizes are wrong! Man what 9mo of neglect can do!

Still going strong on Raif though...more performance stuff lately. Did an engine swap...nope not a V-8 though, had to have the car back up and running too soon. Instead a 3.4 block swap. See, my back up dually got stolen as some of you know. It's now engine & transmissionless, so it made Raif my only car. So the 3.4 was a good quick upgrade...gave me 75 extra ftlbs of torque! HP is up too, but not enough...going to do some more aggressive porting the help the car breath and go with bigger exhaust. Then once the 82 is done right I will put a real motor in RAIF.

How's that for an I'm back post!

I dont think so, haven't heard a thing from anybody that gets the magazine or Nick.

Now that I have the new stuff installed I wonder if I can fax up the new spec sheet after I have get it to the track this weekend to see what I came up with Think they'd let that fly? Pulls every bit as hard as the truck I run, but still only expecting mid 11's....what I keep saying to myself anyways. Really shootin for the streetable 10 sec ride I've been trying to build, just think the pig is gonna be a little to heavy for that and the new stall is about 400 rpm short of where it needs to be.

Cant build any temp with the new radiator, 140* max no matter how hard I run it, so I need to change something there.
