should give some inspiration for the winter

well they are old but i haven't posted anything "newer" in awhile.

here is a shot of the lsx after i finished the install and i'm sure by now everyone has seen the 19's.

i also have a very short quicktime movie of the air ride working on the 91. if someone can host it for me let me know and i'll email the file to them.

check my cardomain in the next few days as i'll be adding alot more. i just pulled the motor and interior to do finish details, final paint work, ect. but it's something til it's done.

i won't have any pictures of the 92 for some time for those of you who keep emailing me i will get them to you when i can.

thanks.



here is a quick finish picture of the passenger door. it houses a 8" sub for midrange and it's wrapped in suede. it's built with 4 accent pieces that are fiberglass. i wrapped 2 of them just to get the door on for test fitting. it's slightly different now and the fiberglass work is finished.

here is a quick one of some stereo work before it was finished, new recaro sportlines in suede and a shot of my double din eclipse. more pictures will be up on the cardomain in better sizes. the 91 is almost finished in paint but i've been busy with the 92, hope to have finished pictures of the 91 in a month or so.

Very very nice. What I love about your car is it's custom in just about every way but you've managed to build a car that looks like it could have came factory the way it sits.

thanks, it took alot of work getting the car back up off the ground. some of the things i've done with the 91 are trial fitting for the 92 but most of it as you see is what the 91 will look like. i tried some different things with the custom door pannels and the stereo just to get an idea of what i like and don't like for the 92. it worked quite well. this hobby is so time consuming though that i just wanted to get the stuff in the car to drive the 91. bad enough having a car down for the summer but not 2.

I didnt realize you were putting so much more work into the 91, but hence I like the idea ....only thing I thought I'd ask is on the door panels, are there any armrests?

chris my time expired so i had to delete the program that allowed me to add to that. if you can set me up again i'd be happy to put some updated larger 2.5kb files up there.

as far as posting larger pictures, i don't have a program that will shrink the picture down in size and allow me to upload it any bigger then 100k so that's what you get unless i can host them.

yes the arm bar that swoops up where the 8" sub is makes a very good arm rest. i had to make it designed like that to follow the flow of the 6 pt. cage otherwise the door won't close. i didn't want the original style handles on the door so i was just playing around. not sure if i'm going to keep them as they are functional but a bit heavier then i'd like.

very, very nice... i threw it in before summer to test fit it and work out all the bugs with wiring and the drivetrain itself. i bought it out of a wrecked car rather then new to save money so i wanted to make sure it was good before i started doing anything else to it. i hope to have it blown over the winter but it will depend on how much time i have left after the 92. i miss the lower torque feel of the tpi from a stop light but beyond that it's great and i can now pass a few gas stations instead of stopping at them all.

thanks everyone.

here is a link on my cardomain with a new album, should work until i can transfer and upload more at cardomain.

I hate to say this because i love your car its gorgeous, but i do not like the door pannels or the center consol they look to plain to me. But all of your custom work is awesome! keep up the good work!

they weren't finished, yes they are not gaudy but they do the trick. using a 8" sub and having a cage there is very limited space to work with. they look much different now though.

I like the stock look better, but DAMN good craftsmanship on them. I know you said they look different now, and cant wait to see them in person, and hopefully change my mind. Cant wait to see the new one either!

actually a step forward for me...

i thought the megashifter was an addition, but with the exception of racing it really was a pain for daily driving. in the pictures i do have a factory leather boot. the shifter has been altered to fit the interior better now but the base is still factory. it just works better, i had so many various issues with the megashifter over the years that i was happy to see it go. once you have a car modified with everything possible under the sun you realize how often you spend more time fixing them then enjoying them. When i had a chance to rebuild it again, from the mechanical aspect i tried to impliment things that were gm in order to have zero issues and so far it works great as i put more miles on the 91 in the last 3 months then i have in 3 years.

i can't ratchet my gears but the electrical is flawless, shifting is smooth and with the lokar addition to the base it looks very trick. pictures soon.

no the 91 is going to stay candy red... just needs to be redone so i'll change it up a little, the rear is a bit different, same kicker pieces though. 2 sets of ss65.2's, 1 set of ssmb8's, 1 pair of 04s12l7's and the amps for now. the 92 is what has the insane setup and i can't list that yet..

the 91 should be finished soon as i have a deadline to get some pictures in to JADA.

two questions, 1. what kinda blower you going to be running, i'm going to do a magnacharged ls6, and 2. Where do you have the tank and comp setup mounted for your airride, thats happening real soon on mine and i'm hoping to hide it in my trim panels

you could hide your compressor behind a panel..but a tank would be very hard..maybe if your lucky you could pull off a 3 gallon or something where the spare tire was.....you best bet would be put it somewhere in the truck on the hump or in the hole

maybe and i say maybe if you ran a 3 gallon or smaller. 5 gallon won't hide anywhere without a custom pannel. i kept all of my equipment down in the well.

as far as the blower honestly i haven't picked it up yet as i'm still deciding. i guess it depends what company will work the best with me as i'm sure i can get a solid 6-8lbs out of just about any kit. the only reason i've decided against a magnacharger style is that i don't want to loose the look of the gm lsx style. i don't plan on running too much as i want good gas mileage so i'm going to go as far as i can with that.
