[XxDarkSidexX]

:biggrin: WOW I LIKE THIS ALOT

darkside green aka deep forest green, with chrome trim and the nice wheels. VERY CLEAN! Rare to seea nice darkside green And if the few who do dare to go deep green usally dont get the nice light tan inter. to match! VERY NICELY done sir.

It was just a few days ago me and the buddies were sitting around and basically drunk off our asses made it a man law that if we ever became rich we had to get a jag with forest green and light tan inter and chrome trim. The colors done RIGHT of course, work great together. This memeber did it right, i like it!

The last 2 pic's look the best. I know u can burn all day in that thing already

Its really a dark blue Il get the paint code in the morning and let me be the first to say the car looks really good in pics lol. But its a 10 footer body is strait tough for the most part. Working on typing up a list of modds right now

 

[ttypewe4jim]

Okay here is the combo which is on the car currently in a nut shell

te44 with a 85 exhaust housing
Ported TB/Plenum(sp)
Thunder Fab Stock Location Intercooler
Razor alky kit (have it waiting to install it for a bit)
50 pounders with a turbotweak chip
single 340 with hot wire
atr rear sway bar
.hotchkis. Lowers stock boxed uppers
Factory g80 posi with new clutches
fbody rad
980 valve springs
and finally a pats performance converters 3400 stall converter

Basically thats all the car has done to it right now it was getting daily driven till. I had a issue with the fuel pump and have not fixed it yet as I have some major changes which I need to get done.

Right now Ive got some parts waiting to go into the car...
A set of home ported 8445 heads
204/214 cam
and a ported stock intake

The reason for doing all that work is I really need to pull the motor and clean everything from when it was dailyed. Also the rear main is almost puking oil at this point lol and it still has the original trimming chain in it with what appears to be 280ish thousand miles lol

Jim, Sounds like a nice combo... My brother had a similar combo on his old GN and it ran pretty well (11.80's @118mph on old worn out BFGs on pump/alky).. That is a LOT of mileage on the stock timing chain , seems like some get them to last for a long time and others aren't so lucky (my brother was one of the unlucky ones)..

Thanks for sharing

Oh BTW, Those seats look very comfortable!!! :biggrin:

Nice car, the dark blue from the factory did look a little green in certain light. 280k on the timing chain A gambler I see
Where in PA are you located, I'm in Glenside near RT 309....

That would be a long haul for such a short race..

Its a ladder style race, you test and tune friday saturday till noon, then after that its ladder style and you race x fast cars down to y slow cars...

After the test and tune, its only ONE race and then its done...
Just letting you know its not a huge event and alllllll the way from PA

I havent gone in the past 2 years, just because of the weather... and im a slackass

Its more so to meet some of the members from the board :biggrin: but I dont think I would race the car atleast diffently not with the blue bottle Im to worried about breaking something all the way out there and since my "race car" has been more reliable then my f'ing truck..... I dont want to push my luck to far :biggrin: We will have to see how the $$$ flow is that mounth and how bussy we are out here
