JuicedH22

I was getting ready to say, it looked like there was another car behind the tree on fire as well in the first and third pics...

yea, my road racing is on a hiatus for some time... baby means no free weekends alone. I will be relegated to autoxing this summer....

Yea, that is what I was thinking of doing. I just dont have a good spot to plumb back in before the TB thanks to the vararam powerduct/intake setup. I dont really want to cut into the duct, but may have to.

one funny picture i took: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/0501101151-00.jpg 16 magnet wands from Sears: $22 bucks Extra insurance to not drop a lifter: Priceless And how it sits right now: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/0502102055-00.jpg Just need to get the ls3 fuel rail and figure out what to do w/ the Vent tube coming off the valve cover (no connection on an ls3 TB). Might just cap it with a breather filter till I figure out a more permanent solution.

I assembled the intake manifold, but have decided the "Professional Products" complete fuel rail kit, is a complete piece of shit (once again proving you get what you pay for). I do not want my car to burn to the ground like another another poor c5z due to fuel spraying on hot headers, soooo I contacted IPS motorsports in CBus, and they just so happened to have an ls3 rail off a customers car who wanted to sell it. Here is what the fuel rails look like currently, but like I said, the cheap billet rails are coming off. (what makes them so bad for one, is instead of using the quality oring seal fittings like most companies, they use just pipe thread fittings, and al. pipe threads tend to gaul, which one of mine did) Also notice how stupid long the crossover hose is that they supplied... http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/0422101840-00.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/0422101841-00.jpg Turns out "professional products" is made in china (honestly)

So, I decided to do a cam swap, then it grew a tad, just thought I would share here... I wanted to go wait, save and go bigger cubes, but with a kid on the way, that is just not going to happen. So, instead just went with a cam and supporting mods... Adding: -Vengeance Racing VRX5 cam (236/238 .601/.605 113 LSA) -PRC 675 spring kit (good for .675 lift (obviously)) -comp push rods -deka 60lb injectors -LS2 timing chain -Melling HV oil pump -LS3 throttle body -FAST 102mm intake. ti muffler bypass mod (not good for any HP, just a little louder) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/DSCF0162.jpg Hoping to get +440whp.... and be able to run high 12s :rofl: I have been dynoing the car after tuning, between each major bolt-on change. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/Dave_Dyno_Pulls_2.jpg -The GREEN is the completely stock, untouched, dyno pull. -The RED is after the vararam intake and street tuning. (sorry, we didnt have the A/F tailpipe sniffer in) -The BLUE adds on the headers (LG PROs), non-catted xpipe, and retuned (street) Take note of the big pickup of 18ft*lbs of torque at 3k rpm thanks to the long tube headers. All numbers are SAE corrected, with a smoothing of 5 Oh, and for those wondering about why in the world I went w/ 60 lb injectors... http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/zo6ftw/DSCF0166.jpg I went ahead and purchased a dry kit (Harris Speedworks Sudden Impact dry kit). But I will not be installing till I do a clutch upgrade (maybe later this summer, if I am not overwhelmed with taking care of Juicy Jr.). My research on CF/tech, and talking to Danny Popp (friend and local vette guru), the zo6 clutch should be able to handle the cam, but no way it will take the n2o.

I really was given a great deal on the Fidanza twin disk, but my only concern is engagement... I dont want something that will grab super hard/fast, and be hard to slip a little, due to daily driveability... that would suck in rush hour traffic

Yes, I did look on ls1t... there are a bagillion recommendations, by a bagillion people, same with Corvette Forum.... just thought I would get an opinion, particularly from people I know more, and then their opinion might mean a little more to me.

So, I am in the midst of my ls6 buildup. I am anticipating ~440whp, and a little shy of that 600whp mark on spray. (though spray comes later this year) I am not sure how long, or if at all, the stock zo6 clutch will last, so I am looking at getting a new clutch, just thought I would get some CBus lsx guy's opinions... I dont really care too much about how heavy the pedal feels, but since i daily drive the car, I dont want something that has a super hard engagement, making rush hour a complete PITA. was thinking spec 2.5 full face disk, and a local cincy shop is trying to push me into a fidanza. thoughts? suggestions?

also interested in the coil relocation kit, if the above back out, let me know. Would like to see some pics (link broken, as stated above)

Si.

consider it disreguarded

stock is fine, used pref. to keep cost down. but if there is some amazing deal on an aftermarket set, I would have some interest. I was actually thinking of calling you guys to see if you had anything laying round.

Looking for some ls2/ls3 fuel rails... anybody?

Want these to move, price updated!

Hey guys, Just sold my BMW, now the summer wheels have to go. Seller Name: David Moster Location: Cincinnati, OH email: mosterda@gmail.com phone: available via PM Price: $1,500 These are Dronell Type-5s, which are extremely rare true 3-pc wheels. (similar build to HRE, DPE, Forgeline, etc..). They cost $4,000 new MSRP, and good luck finding them anywhere these days as they are no longer found for sale in the US, and if you do, at this price. Dronells are authentic Japanese wheels and are/were imported by a respectable firm called AKT USA. A couple sites that still mention Dronell: http://www.globalautoshop.com/wheels/dronell2.htm http://www.bcautodesign.com/Old_Website/Products_Dronell.html They are 19x8.5 (f) and 19x9.5 ®, with custom deep black powdercoat on the centers and polished lips. In 2006 I had them completely refurbished including the powdercoating, re-polishing the lips, new hardware, ACCU-TRU mounted to make sure they were prefectly round, and new custom BMW roundels for each center cap, which all together cost me close to $1k to have done. 3 of the 4 wheels have Toyo T1-R tires, with maybe 50% tread life, the 4th tire had a blow out, so is not included. I am essentially giving the tires for free w/ the wheels, if you dont want them, I can take them off before I send them. I'm not sure on the exact offsets, but they fit my 328i with no rubbing issues whatsoever (H&R cupkit suspension). And on a 323ci w/ factory sport suspension also with no issues. The lips are the same size all around, approximately 1.5-2" http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/rear.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/frontb.jpg (older picture, before BMW roundels were added, I also have these black ones that will come w/ the wheels as well) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/IMG_0121.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/parking.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/tail.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/IMG_0129.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/IMG_0125.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/IMG_0163.jpg When they were silver: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/DSCF0018.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c318/Juicedh22/BMW/DSCF0015.jpg

Car is SOLD! 19" wheels are still for sale. $2k OBO

AC is ice cold, climate control works well, only issue is a small quiet clicking noise at certain fan speeds from the clutch. Just had the oil changed, the only maintenance needed next is the brakes that I know of, it has been driving great with no issues since I changed the thermostat last spring. (didnt drive much this summer). I will get some interior pics up this evening when I get home.

It has been a GREAT car. I am the 2nd owner of hte car, and have owned it since around ~60k miles.

Well, we made it to Barcelona. I had calamari for an appetizer, and the Paella Barcelona for my entree. My wife had the charcuterie for an appetizer and the Solomillo (beef tenderloin) for her entree. We both had the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake (basically a souffle) for dessert, and got a Barcelona Bar to go. I had a Dark and Stormy as we recommended and it was a good drink, the ginger gave it a unique taste. I also had a Rootbeer Barrel which was good (a little sweet for one of my normal drinks though). We both thought the food was excellent, especially the dessert. However, I am not sure if the food is the cause or not but I woke up sunday morning feeling horrible, my stomach was doing flipflops, and by noon it had turned into what felt like a mild case of montezuma's revenge. (the only reason I have any doubt it was dinner is because some friends of ours went and ate at a different restaurant and the guy also had the same sickness as me on sunday).

Well, I mentioned the words tapas and my wife got excited. So I went ahead and made the reservations for Barcelona. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

I looked into the Barcelona place. It seems very nice. I LOVE spanish cuisine, and they have a tapas menu (which my wife enjoyed when we had it at another restaurant). But my wife is a 'picky eater'. She doesnt like seafood, and limited beef, so lots of chicken dishes for her usually, and they only have 1 chicken dish on their menu, and it has mushrooms in it, which my wife also doesnt like. lol I also am considering this french place called Refectory.

we have melting pot and mortons here. a guy I know also said something about a place called riverfront, or riverside?

well, just emailed the wifey, she doesnt want italian, that helps I also looked into Cameron Mitchell. He has a lot of restaurants, I guess he is Cbus's version of Jeff Ruby.
