Show Us Your Ride

[JohnnyVegas]

Please tell me that girl is your wife and you'll be my second god.

Nope, not my wife. I used to go to a lot of photo shoot events (calendars, ads and such) so I have more photos of my cars with women than without.

I still think we need to go for a drive JohnnyV!

I have a coolant leak that I have been too lazy to investigate. It may just be the radiator cap (bought a new one, but haven't put it on). I will swing by when I get it fired up.

[JohnnyVegas]

These are also not my wife:

EDIT: you can see that the number seven eight zero is on the "banned" list and kept one of the best photos from working. Bummer.

[Bizo]

Notice how big the BARS are...could I be compensating?

[edgarr]

Forget About cars I want your garage.

thanks! the pic doesnt do the floor justice, it is so nic. I had it professinally done. I also now have cabniets, bench and new tool box.

Here is my other cars

[edgarr]

[JohnnyVegas]

That Camaro is beautiful!

[Standby]

wow you guys got some money lol

[HitIt]

[DCI]

I've one of them as a company car, what you think of it? I find it a bit boring to be honest. I prefer my own 12 year old Alfa to it and the Alfa which is Italian and are re knowned for having bad driving positions. I think it's more comfortable to sit in for long journeys too.

boring i guess but i like it as i dont have a lot of money and its so good on gas. my precious car was supercharged and liked its gas lol so this is nice now. boring yes but i dont have money to make a car not boring. i do have my amp and subs sitting in my room tho lol i miss using those

[DCI]

Bang the subs into it Well mines a diesel. You'd fall over if you saw the price of furl over here haha. I told an american chap when I was over there how much it was a gallon and he didn't believe me had to go on the internet to show him the local prices of fuel lol. It's a well made car to be fair but a bit dull. Can't seem to get comfortable in it though which is weird.

[Standby]

oh i can get comfortable i definitely love it. since i bought it i have to lover it or ill just be miserable lol. gas here is $1.25 a liter. im in canada we use metric

[lovbyts]

edgarr, sweet rides and nice work. Do you do it all/most yourself? I wish I still have my 67 Camaro SS I was restoring similar to what you have done with the Nova except mine was 95% done when I sold it.

Is that a blower on the Camaro? What kind is that??? nice low profile about the same size a stock throttle body.

Nice twin turbo setup on the Nova also. What size are those, 22? I have little 13G turbos on my 3.0 V6 VR4

[Awesome_Archy]

Is that snowboard a Flow? i think a friend of mine has the same board.

my new ride

[lovbyts]

Your garage is way to clean and un cluttered.. LOL

[edgarr]

i like the nova with the twin turbo..is than an ls engine?

Yes, its an iron block LS2 stroked to a 408

[edgarr]

Is that snowboard a Flow? i think a friend of mine has the same board.

No, its a Burton custom.

Garage is 30*30 and I need more space!

[HitIt]

Yes, its an iron block LS2 stroked to a 408

nice setup...got any torque numbers? dcr? how much boost?

[DSM4Life]

No, its a Burton custom.

Install some shelving. That's my project this week.

[edgarr]

Prior numbers before tear down and rebuild:

On the chassis dyno, the 408 made 1,088 RWHP at 20 psi of boost on race gas. On the more conservative pump gas tune of 12 psi, the numbers are still impressive at 786 RWHP. Oh, and just for fun, the Nova gets a steady 12 mpg in the city and 22-plus on the highway.

[gixxerboy1]

lots of nice rides. I wish i still had some of my old toys

[edgarr]

edgar did you assemble the engine?

No, LME assembled it and 417 motorsports built the turbo parts.

The camaro is a LS2 as well with Maggie 2300, TEA 235 heads, LPE cam, etc.

Currently shopping for a 2009 or 10 CTS-V which will go out to LPE. I have a 10 CTS and the dealers are not playing nice on a trade so searching the internet.

But, this is my fav ride!

nice ride bro.. could be one of the cleaniest/most tasteful stangs I've ever seen.
I had a 92 hatchback when I was younger.. think I spent more on oil than gas, but damn was that car fun.

Thanks Jasc car is super clean for 19yrs old and has very well done paint. I agree these fox bodies are a load of fun and not too expensive when it comes to a/m goodies.

Thanks Edgarr msg sent

[MeatHead85]

This is my baby! Wouldn't own anything other then a TRUCK! County is the only way...

[chi]

lots of nice rides. I wish i still had some of my old toys

well what did you have?

[DCI]

This thread makes me sad.

[Vettester]

nice...i bet you don't even need an intercooler

A couple more pics, 1 is of the ProCharger intercooler.

I've looked at doing a few more mods to improve the boost up to 10lbs, taking it over 725 BHP, but truthfully it's hard enough now to get my KDW's to grip. Already chirping the tires into 3rd gear at 60mph.

[Vettester]

I'm putting it up for sale for 45k. It has 28000 miles on it. Brand new they run a little under 100k. Gotta love depreciation.

That is giving me some tempting thoughts ...

nice...but that's one of the things i like about superchargers over turbo's is the cooler air charge. i know with some carb and efi applications given low enough boost you don't have to intercool it. less plumbing is better/easier/cheaper.

[Vettester]

Damn, edgarr, that Lincoln is nice.

Here are two of my cars. The gray one is primarily my wife's. We also have some practical cars not worth posting. And, no, that isn't my wife.

Love that Porsche!!! I've been tinkering around with thoughts on a 911 Turbo. The mid life crisis is getting funner by the minute!

Great thread!!! Only needs some guns, guitars, and more girl pics to make it a Royal Flush!
