Some "interesting" pics

unfortunately the miller girls left a sat. show that i wanted them to pose with the car, so sunday me and a buddy went out for some good pics....a guy was giving me a hard time about the size of my hood, after a comment i made that i wanted to go to a parking garage and set off alarms....he goes will that hood fit in the parking garage, so the one under the sign with me and the tape measure was for that guy lol, the rest were just out in the middle of nowhere......as for the parking garage, just pulling in at idle had a good 6+ alarms going off and after that i lost track....then we were asked by security to leave....so after a small burnout we left peacefully, started to take a sound clip but the camera flew off the dash and when i grabbed it i shut it off...so no go

i took a few before i had the hood back on, done a bit of rerouting of wires and lil stuff but about the same as herehttps://www.thirdgen.org/forums/auto...art-duece.html

she's back on teh road, feels like a bit of tuning is needed but its an absolute beast as is, this combo worked out very well i am pleased, i cant wait to get teh shift kit, geared lower and a bit of tuning....me and my buddy did come across a 92 Z28 this saturday night, ran into him up at the sonic and decided to see what the rs would do, 350, exhaust, k+n, and an airfoil, guy talked like the airfoil was a 40 horse part, had me low end, i got up into 2nd and got the rpms up and caught him, i got into third and just started walking him pretty bad

Those are some great photos. Those are some good shots out in nowhere. I like the way it sets. Some engine bay photos would look great too.

Awesome. I think your car is the first time I've seen a PERFECT stance on a thirdgen. Esp. with that spoiler and hood. Awesome job man.

As everyone said the car looks great. I can only hope that one day my 92 RS will look and perform like half the car yours does...

I did notice that you do look like a very big dude standing next to the car...

They're firestones Its rolling on a full air ride technologies setup, theres no way i could roll with the tires on teh inner skins

Thanks for all the complements guys, i couldnt be happier right now with the look, the stance, the handling and the performance, granted everything will continue to be refined in years to come, its the most perfect thing i've ever toyed with

Hopefully in the fall i'll do the 18's, baers on all 4 corners, tubular grill, one piece headlights(maybe) upgrade to another compressor and 3/8" airlines, a cage and maybe even a 150 shot for kicks ......this summer the rearends getting swappped and the trannys getting beefed up and i'd like to "isolate" the cowl induction to keep the hot air out of the intake charge

and btw i'm 6'4" 215, lol i'll have to get some pics with my woman, thats always funny she's 4'11" maybe 120 dripping wet lol

beautiful car, your another one i've watched raise through the ranks of respected people and cars on this board. I'm interested in the air ride system, i'm off to do some searching to see if you posted it anywhere on the boards.

oh yea should be all over the place....smoking the 350 guys is nice, caught a guy off guard last night in an LT1 impala ss....nice looks from him

Interior is getting worked a bit, started out by getting rid of the sun visors today, dont need em anyway and the pass side sags, looking into doing someting with the dash pad, thinking of wrapping it in grey leather...it be easy to buy a new one, but thats not different from everything else in colorado.......that then led to putting the hammer head shifter on the b+m, not sure if i like it yet, i think with a nice leather boot opposed to the b+m rubber pos it would look a ton better, hopefully do my headliner with the raised stripe and change the carpet to black on the door panels shortly, thinking about black armrests also, havent decided yet

Oh the things this poor car endures when i get bored!!!
