Show off your cars!!!!

I know some people here have to have some good lookin rides, show them off!!!!!!!!!!! http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/de...tml?sort=3&o=0 http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/de...tml?sort=3&o=1 it's a 97 corolla, aside from the paint and body its got a decent sound system and dvd player and a couple of bolt ons under the hood.

Yeah man. I'll throw my hat into this ring....

Ok that thing is a beast. What kinda horsepower does it have? Do you ever take it to the strip? Mine is a daily driver so I won't be going too extreme performance-wise, but i will be making my own cat back exhaust and running my intake tube down towards the opening in my body kit.

I don't really know. Back when I had the stock 346 cube LS6 with smaller twin turbos at 6psi of boost it was putting down around 533 rwhp. Now with the custom 427, larger turbos and wastegate springs pushing the boost to 11.6 psi, I would guess there has been a healthy increase.

One of these days maybe I'll see if I can find someone around here with a dyno to see what it logs.

You likely won't have to go real radical to get some substantial performance increases. Simply improving incoming air and outgoing exhaust can help quite a bit. Plus tuning to optimize air/fuel and timing will possibly help some.

Just be careful running the air intake down lower since you are using the car as a daily driver. Which means you'll be driving it in all sorts of weather. Been more than a few people who learned the hard way about the dangers of hydrolocking the engine when they hit a puddle on the road that was deeper than they expected. If you suck water into the intake, you can pretty much kiss the engine goodbye.

I was actually trying to figure out a way to keep the water out without impeding airflow. I'm going to open up my exhaust from 1 1/4" to 2" and hope it doesn't sound like a pi$$ed of leaf blower.

Here are a couple I put together over the years. Unfortunately I have sold them off . The first is a 85 Camaro I built for my Daughter.

Then there was this beast. My 78 Nova 468 with a 177 B&M supercharger and a 150 shot of spray. Best time of 6.24 @116 then kicked off the track for no cage.

Okay one more my newest project. it will be years until this one gets done though. It has been off the road since 1972. My dad bought it in 1982 and it has set ever since. bringing it to my house to go in the shop this week.

Good luck on the project, i really like that camaro its super clean.

Old thread but I love this sort of thing and I was sort of distracted back when it started.

How about a truck?

Here's my 2008 F450 dually. I've added a Tuner, MBRP exhaust, exhaust brake, and that big ol' Warn stainless bumper with a 12,000 pound winch and LED lights. Only 30,000 miles on it.

She's currently back in the shop for new turbos, an ATS trans, new LED lights all around and a ton of other upgrades. Looking for a nice fat 700HP, straight fuel only. Also have a custom Tiara rack from Highway on order.

She'll get her first competition run on the dyno in a couple months, and I'll be doing some sled pulls too.

A little while back I had someone ask me what mods I had actually had done to the Z06 shown in my earlier photos. So here's a list for anyone interested:
