well,Thanks to Harjeet(phat89t/a) and Terrell(Kairles),I have my new ride.It has the look I want now so all I need to do is paint it,and fix a few little odds and ends.The car has some punch and sounds awsome.It cruises at high speeds pretty well I took a few pics tonight but they didn't turn out really well so I'll get more tomorrow.
Thanks again to Harjeet and Terrell!

 

Nice! I can almost see you grinnin from down the hill. Dont keep the neighborhood up too late tonight, they might still remeber in june.

 

dang, got the wheels on already.
she looks sweet dude.
glad you got it done.
hope to see it up close soon.

 

didnt take u long to get those rims on, now heres the question, is it still an 87 TPI? lol

 

I was home 5 minutes before I was out in the garage swapping them out.I need to buy new tires soon though but that and paint will be done by June.It has flaws up close but nothing a little work won't fix.
Yeah,I thought about the name,wonder if the mods can change it to 89tpi?

 

nice job man! what color?

 

Same as it is now,Navy blue mettalic.There is no shine left.It looks sweet when new.The door jams still look good

 

does the car have any mods on it?

 

suspension mods:

eibach pro-kit, kyb ajx adjustable front struts, kyb gas-a-just rear shocks, bmr adjustable panhard rod


mods:

slp cold air intake w/ k&n filter, tpi air-foil, slp prom chip, flowmaster 80 series muffler, dynomax high flow cat, !tb bypass, ported plenum, 160 deg t-stat, hypetech fan switch, msd 8.5mm superconductor wires, holley 255lp fuel pump (500hp+ capability), ford motorsports 19lb fuel injectors (svo), descreened maf, New distributer

 

would u like a nice cam to go with that great car?

 

Hey Harjeet,when you read this can you tell me why the alarm still goes off after I turn it off?As soon as I open the door it starts screaming at me,maybe she's nervous.

 

I'm thinking of buying one next month but I want to get a baseline time at the track before anymore mods go into it.

 

why dont u help a local out and buy mine?

its still in box new.

 

A little too big for my 305 don't ya think?

 

i would say dont go for low profile tires, looks like the car gained height lol needs to be tucked some more

congrats on getting back into the 3rd gen world.

 

The wheels are the same height when sat next to eachother.I would rather have a little more of a gap than a bunch of tire.It has a little rougher ride now but not by much.

 

cut the springs, and the cam is not too big for your 305.

 

just return it to summit and quit complaining

 

i dont want to pay for shipping bish.

 

Any idea what it runs as it stands Steve? Mid 15's?
Just seeing it reminds me so much of my Firebird.
Definitely keep the color a nice shade of blue.
Welcome back.

 

Nice meeting you today, Steve. I look forward to seeing the progress on this car.

Del... I think this car is already flat 16's now.

 

huh? i dont think any 305 would be in the 16's!

 

Well that's what Harjeet said he ran but it feels like it's a bit out of tune and the idle has a little surge and the detent cable is out of adjustment so the tranny jumps into each gear way to early so I'm going to play with that today.It feels like it has more pull than my 87 and that was a 15.2.I will bet money that it's at least a low/mid 15.It has a non posi 3.08 so The tire just spins when you jump on it.I'm swapping in a 3.42 posi by June.I'm not sure what his 60 ft was so maybe he'll chime in.

 

they refund you shipping money bish

 

I think most 305's are low 16's - mid 15's if lucky. Guess it depends on TBI/TPI too obviously.
Since he has some mods already and a refreshed motor, maybe mid-low if in tune like Steve said.

 

my 305 TBI was doing low 15's

a tpi has to do better.

 

Well I've done a few runs against my friends 15 flat cadillac CTS and I've been even with him while peg leggin it so I'm wiling to bet steve's is just as fast.

 

Here is a few more pics.

 

well the alarm starts automatically. in order for it to not to turn on automatically u have to open the driver side door or put it in valet, which i forgot to show u. The alarm booklet is behind the rear driver seat. My 60's foot at the drags were 2.6 lol. wow the car looks sweet. ANd the color was a deep blue metallic. Steve to let u know that occationally the alarm would go nutz. It will go off for no reason and when u turn it off, it would go off again. It doesn't happens all the times though

 

damn thats gonna be a sexy bird

I remember when I had my alpine put in my car a couple days whent buy then my alarm started doing things like that just going off for no reason and it wouldn't set some times. when I took it back one of the installers said his buddy was haveing the same problems but they couldn't figure it out. after about an hour we found the problem they had used a power wire that ran from the steering column and for some reason it was messing with the alarm

 

id have to say its a mid 15 second car. It needs a cam and some head porting work to get it moving.

 

We'll see what it runs at the track on the 11th.I know it's in the 15's but I need my baseline.I'll start the 350 build either when I find a good deal on a block or next winter.It moves good enough for now.I just want to finish up the cosmetic side right now.

 

well the car is plenty fast. I just cant wait till steve puts the gears on. . I get first dibs on driving it

 

i get first dibs on racing it..

oh wait, we dont want steves first race to be a loss wheres eric?

 

"You mean it's a race and not a burnout contest?!?!?!?!? "

 

dunno where eric is

i tried to call him today it just gave me a busy signal

 

Hey,pick on an engine your own size!Erics car would have to be running to race it.

 

anybody planning on going to sac raceway any time soon

 

when my car is running!

sorry steve, forgot about the 78 inch difference

 

damn 78 inches, thats like a little tiny 1.2L jap motor.

so in conclusion, the difference in size between travis's motor and steve's motor is a honda motor.

 

<----- blows car up and dives off a cliff


thats below the belt guys

 

a dead thirdgen is better then being in erics hands.

 

Well the t/a is going off to paint in the next couple of weeks!I can't wait to get it back with the shine back!It's gunna look sick.it's getting new tires and a new stereo system this week.

 

where you takin her steve??

 

maaco, its the best

 

I'm looking around at a few shops.I may go macco,they're pretty good here.I may go more expensive though.I still need to order my sfc's,lca's,and get my 3.42 posi disc rear so...

 

steve the installation bracket housing for a single din radio is in the trunk. I left that for u.

 

Well I went to install the stereo yesterday and found the monting tabs were broken off.I need the whole center piece below the dash and above the shifter where the deck and heater controls are.Anybody have one in excelent shape?

 

It's real common for those tabs to be broken off, especially after stereo's being stolen and ripped out.
Hard to find in excellent shape.
I had to replace mine a couple years ago even though it was excellent outside, bastards ripped out my deck.
Got a brand new one from Hawks for $60 at the time.

 

I had an extra one that was in great shape but I gave it away.I may just buy a new one.I already took the stock tape player out so I have no music.
