Turbotrio Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 rumor has it was a turbo vette from c-bus... black? Not Tilley's if that is what anyone is assuming. The car might be at Trails or Kilkare this week though... Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsn2o281 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Could it be Greg Offenbakers 01 TT from Hebron? I saw it out last weekend, although i dunno why he'd go to the track, 850+ rwhp and street tires don't work so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 rumor has it was a turbo vette from c-bus... black? How did anyone know it was from Columbus? Just curious. I personally know of no other black TT cars around here (Aside from Mike's LPE car but not sure if that is a Z06). Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbotrio Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 That was thursday before last. Rumor has it: THE FRAME WAS CLEARANCED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE TURBO'S!! Hack master 5000. Newsflash: If it was a C5 or C6 and had turbos larger than 9bs then yes, the frame was certainly "Clearanced" to get the kit installed (Assuming it wasn't a STS). We had a very nice Twin Turbo Mustang in a couple weeks ago that I guess was "Ruined" because his frame was notched to hell and back to fit the turbo on the passenger side. I almost broke the news to him that his car was "Totaled" because somebody cut his frame but I just didnt have the heart lol. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I would have to say. If I put my car on a rack I would rather see my frame notched then beaten to shit. Now from what your saying "notched to hell and back" that would be a different story. There's doing it right, and doing it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the larger twin kit you have to clearence the frame. Even the installation instructions state that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Mike (from IPS) called me today. When I got off the phone with him, I found a GT35R stuffed in a hole they clearance into the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbotrio Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 And by clearance what do they mean? They actually say "Dent" in every kits instructions I have ever read. For such a tiny area that needs altered you would be retarded to cut into the rail and attempt to re-weld. I will have to look at the APS instructions again to see how there's is worded but pretty sure they use "Dent" as well. Now the Incon kit on the Mustang flat-out demanded that a Soft-ball size section of the frame be cut in order for it to fit. The car looked great and made silly power, the install of the kit looked great, and if it werent for threads like this I would have never even paid any attention to the "Notched" frame rail. Frame-rail alterations weren't news worthy back in '88 when the Mustang TT kits started being sold or in '98 when the C5 kits first started coming out and it sure as hell isnt anything new now.
