Why do you always decide to block the road with your car to take a picture?

:lol: Just kidding.. the car is awesome as always.

You see that picture???
That is why. :grinyes:

Thanks!

Nice

:iamwithst

God...I love that car...

hey.. just a quick question mr. luos.. how much money went into the

1) motor
2) drivetrain
3) car, overall + price of car?

just rough estimates..
if you can :D

id love to know how much you got that motor for @_@..

oh yeah.. and how much custom fab did you have to get done?



i want that engine in a vette..:(

or a 240Z!!!
holy shit thatd be sick!

You probably don't want to know. :lol:
Hell...I don't even like thinking about it.

whats the difference in weight between the alluminum LS1 and the iron LQ9?

80 pounds

That's naughty.

You probably don't want to know. :lol:
Hell...I don't even like thinking about it.


haha. i guess so. well i like the engine cuz its done right. i hate how people toss on a giant turbo and expect their 4banger to last 100K miles... or when (some of my friends) think they can boost their (stock internal 2.4L with 80K miles) 13+ lbs with no intercooler..stock injectors.pump.etc with no problem...

your motors deff. built to perform..but it seems like its built to last too. no crazy boosting...not crazily high revving..etc.

80 pounds
Is that it? That is not that bad for all the added power.

No boost.
No bottle.
Revs to 6700.
Hell...compression is only 11:1.


Want to know how much?? Take that mod list and have at it. :lol:
I know total (wheels, motor, tires, rearend, etc) there is over $17K into it.

Its kinda hard to believe that you built that thing in a 1 car garage too. Doesn't seem like a lot of work space. You even had lifters on the stove. I still love that one.

hell, 17K is totally worth it..

4 seater car that can spank almost any exotics. hahahaha. crazy sleeper man.

words can't explain how nice that car is, but its purdy.

I like it. :lol:


Thanks!

damn... im at work and i cant see the pic of the car because im sure these cheap bastards dont have what i need to this pc to see pics..... i wanna see the car too!!

You have never seen Mr. Luos car?

Go home Philly. :lol: :lol:

oh noe! is that a CF driveshaft? it looks all shiny and purty

Not CF.
I am too cheap. It is a custom built 3" DS. Made for a heavy RWD car launching hard.

haha nicee. its so smooth that i thought it was maybe CF. shoulda looked @ the welds before i said anything so i wouldnt sound like such a noobie :(

Not a problem.
It is in. 2-3 pounds heavier than the stocker, but much more solid. Also a touch longer for better bite at the tranny.

and its on the kitchen table!

and its on the kitchen table!

Next to the lifters on the stove...:icon16:

its banjo plucking time boys and girl

It is under the car now. :lol:

Geez... Here I am looking at this thread once again... It's like a classic porno though. No matter how many times you see it, you always leave it with a great feeling. :)

^lol, wtf?
