You realize you will need a negotiator with a alot of experience and great street knowledge. Someone who can put the opponents car on a number and set the race accordingly.

[BlazinEagle]

Looks like a good candidate to do some ass kicking!:popcorn:

So your saying you'll do it???

[89notch]

:lol: He would be in a fight with Rich within 5 mins. and get us kicked out:lol:

[YouGotJunk]

I think it would be alot of fun. I definately wanna go, whether i'm part of the crew or not. I'll be supporting forsure..we'll put the safe tune on that Bitch and ask for 12 cars and the wiggle!!!

[mustangrfast88]

i thought it was the driver that was the negitortor this year what the driver say goes

just a word of advice dont post video on the net of the car running because that screwed one of the teams over before and i am sure i will try to go and help some how

Where is Pinks at? That would be cool to have a bunch of us go there.

[89notch]

I'm not sure yet where all they are taping this year but I will let everyone know as soon as I find out

[untamed]

Thats cool I thought it was in one place all the time. I will go for sure, just let us know. Thanks Tracy

[PaulFiveOh]

You should photograph the 'custom' fuel pump access door.

[7721Cobra]

I noticed you have the battery up front still I have a bunch of cable and a box if you want to put it in the trunk.

Looking GOOD

Yes that is something that we still need

[Maximus]

So who are we racing?

[93hulk]

So who are we racing?


We may not know untill the day of the taping. But one thing is for sure they (the opponent) wont like it. Wait till the turbo we have comes in!:D

[Maximus]

You know what Vinny use to say....All Bling and No Zing makes Johnny a Fucking Ricer. Well, I dont want some blinged out Coupe shouting "look at me" before we even race. Throw some oil on that engine, hang some wires all over the place....nevemind. Kelly, call me at the store.

[7721Cobra]

Just let me know how to get the box to you

[FlatlineCowboy]

looking good guys, let me know where the actual race is going to be and I will be there to support ya.

[Johnson1134]

looking good guys, let me know where the actual race is going to be and I will be there to support ya.

x2....i would love to go watch.:bigthumb

[theyallslow]

No matter what you do. Win by inches and lose by miles. Take you the break lights so they don’t know that you are slowing the car down at the end of the track. Get in there head as best you can.

and best of luck

[thejock60]

does the turbo setup mean no NOS? you know u have to lose the first race by a mile right:bigthumb then u can be like that honda that was racing the mustang with flames and get spotted 21 lengths:lol:

[COOP]

I'm with Craig on the making it look oily and shabby. It would be sweet if there was a way to fake catastrophe, blow smoke out of the exhaust, pretend its hurt, get some sympathy to use to your advantage. Make it seem like it isnt working right

[Speed Kills]

Wonder if this is who you'll be up against, just saw this thread on ls1tech today.

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=692446

"Chicago, IL - LS1TECH is excited to announce that it will be participating on the popular cable television show Pinks, which can be seen on Speed Channel. This segment will be filmed later this summer, and will air during the fifth season of the show. With an estimated viewership of two million viewers, Pinks is one of the most popular automotive shows on television.

LS1TECH will be going up against a popular online Ford site."

I'm sure we could rig up a way to inject a small amount of oil into the downpipe....make it smoke worse than a cummins.:lol:

[BlazinEagle]

What kind of gears are we running I have a set of brand new 4.10 gears I would donate if that is not too much gear for a turbo car?

[SMOKE]

Wonder if this is who you'll be up against, just saw this thread on ls1tech today.

Doesn't look like that's the one we'll be racing. It says they will be racing a modular motor car..

[ChrisHunley]

Maybe post some things that you need someone may have it or can get it. Or am I just missing something?

[89notch]

We will be running a set of 3.55 that were donated I going to work on an updated list of whats needed this weekend.

[WhiteT]

You need the engine to look like it has spray. Basically hook it all up (or make it look that way) but don't use it. Make sure you go "heads up with spray" first race. Hopefully you can win. Next race bargain and say "no bottle this time." Give the other car a length or so. Smoke him again. 2-0 now. For the 3rd race, fake a broke tranny and lose by a bunch. Get some spots for the 4th. Then blow them away!!

Good luck!

[PonymanfiveO]

LMAO!

hes got it down pat!

[mustangboy]

Hey guys all these ideas are great but don't you think maybe we should keep them quiet. Once whoever we are racing finds out it is us they will be all over this website seeing what we are doing. As fun as it is to talk about what we are doing it may be best if we keep as much of this stuff hush hush. So if anyone has any ideas maybe they should pm them to Kelly, who can run by all the guys doing the build. Not trying to ruin the fun just trying to keep a competitive advantage.;) :angel:

[DeckerEnt]

Good point. Lets not give away any secrets. Or is this the ploy all along. We are really building a toyota with 2 blowers, a turbo and lots of Nosssss.
LOL..Keith

[Rob]

Ray was a big help :bigthumb I would also like to thank Tom, Kyle, Merrick, and Chris Fry for all of their help while the car was at my shop. I didn't have much time to work on this car so they all helped make it happen. Thanks again guys!


Okay...........lets see some paint !!!!!

[mustangrfast88]

looking good anybody hear who we will be racing yet i heard from a freind from work ls1tech.com was building a car for pinks

[plated]

i hope we make the deadline,it's questionable if u ask me. theres about 50 or so days left to get the car done.nowhere nere enough funds to finish it or parts.lets just hope this don't turn out to be a dud:o all thAT FREE LABOR:mad:

[Rob]

No kidding. What else is needed as far as parts go?

[plated]

a bellhousing for a glide,spool,axles, those are just a few of the more expensive items still needed.then a ton of small stuff

[PonymanfiveO]

we still need moldings for the qtr panels too!

[Timido]

I know if Plated has anything to do with it, It will look good. So lets see Saftey first A kick ass Rigid cage. Plated and the sanding crew is making the car look great. I heard Mike Bell From dayton 5.0 is as we speak getting down with the small block. I stopped by Cincy Speed today to put up my cash. I plan on doing anything I can work wise on building the car. You guys are right a little cash does go a long way. I have nothing but positive things to say about the people who have donated parts services and their own Time and Money. It is time for everyone to step it up a little bit. Remember that you have the oportunity to be part of somthing big. I hope you will take a couple bucks or a part or 2 you have laying around the garage and put them to good use. Its time to PUT UP!

[plated]

matt johnsnon is a bodyman/painter in disguise:cool1: he truely knows his way around the body/paint stuff.he's doing the jams tonight watch him go:D this is vinny's turbocar car color with a little twist.i'm sure he'd give it the greenlight.thanks to napa&hamlet&smyth for paint and material

I'm glad UPR finally came through with the suspension stuff. I must have called them 30 or so times, finally got through to the owner and 4 days later, viola! Suspension! Already updated you on what I need for the engine. Should be coming together quickly. You need a long block to use to mock up the turbo kit?
Plated did an absolutely fantastic job on that car. It looks suhweet! Kudos to everyone lending a hand!

It was great meeting everyone.
Good times, free beers, and progress!

[DeckerEnt]

Good to see a lot of us showed up to help. I am rooting for us in my own way. I would love to come up and help but I am busy as hell with work and family stuff. I feel like a fifth wheel sitting here just looking though.
Keith.

[Greg Seibert]

Anyone order up a headlight set yet?

[chad393na]

Good seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones the other night! Definately no shortage of help! I'll get back over as soon as I can. Can't wait to see it at the track:D

[BADVERT]

Coming together nicely, when is the next get together on it?

[kathyp408]

i'm able to give an extra hand if needed.

[det293]

Let me know when you need the fluids. I can either ship them or to help me out, maybe somebody could pick it all up at the Columbus distribution center. Anything I have to do watch the filming?

[Steves LX]

Do you still need the drivers sider marker light? And when its time to get the fluids if you guys aren't wanting it to be shipped I can pick it all up. I make runs up to Columbus twice every week.

[PonymanfiveO]

So how is it coming?????

Is the motor in it yet?
Take any pics yesterday?

I was planning on coming up yesterday but I had to play good boyfriend instead. I would have liked to came up today and worked on it but Kelly was at work and noone else was working on it. :(

[PonymanfiveO]

Correct me if Im wrong, but this thing has to be done by Sat. July 14th right?

Thats less than three weeks to put a car together and get it running.
This car should be getting work done to it every single day between now and then!

It would be nice if we had a centralized location for this car so everyone had easier access to get there and help on it. I hope we dont end up praying for miracles at the last minute.

[93hulk]

Well we got the trunk floor in, most of the fuel system ran, started mock up of the turbo kit, mounted the cell and battery box, mounted the fuel pump, and a few other odds and ends. Not a very big turn out there was only a few of us there. The motor will be done this week according to Mike. Jason the guy who does all my fab work will be over Wed. night to make the turbo kit. We are planning on working on the car Wed evening if anyone wants to lend a hand.:)

[PonymanfiveO]

Id like to help more but I cant drive that far during the week. :(

Im glad to hear your doing as much as you have Mark.
Your good at this shit, I know you make everything work. ;)

[mailman]

I was on my way down and had to turn around- a friend of mine was stranded in Columbus and I had to go rescue him. Sorry I did not make it!

Good times working on the car. Gene even got his hands dirty! There is lots going down with getting the car done. I plan on being there. Please check out the thread about parts needed for this project. You spare parts are very valuable to this project. To those who have donated time money and spare parts thank you very much.

[Gregg@TFS]

That is a lot of pretty aluminum on top of that thing!!!!:bigthumb

Looks great guys!!! :rockon:

[NXcoupe]

Gregg, I checked those heads out and you guys did a heck of a job on them. They are beautiful. I ported the intake to match the heads, and it matches up great.
I want to shout out to the people who helped out with this engine by donating time or parts:
TFS, of course, Probe for pistons, Cam motion for cam and lifters, Brian W and his friend for welding the return bung on with a moment's notice, and whoever donated the probe rockers and the oil pan, get with me so I can give you some props properly.
You guys helped make this happen!

I called a few times but I will try again tomorrow

[NXcoupe]

Need to have the trans in first, then it can be measured. We need the flexplate before the trans can go in.

[Timido]

Type F for the Fluid if you can get it if not Dextron-Mercon just not Mercon 5.

Thanks on the Luck. ;)

[89notch]

We measured it with the old mock up motor with the trans in

[93hulk]

It's no problem guys, the pleasure was truly all mine to be of some help and a part of the Pinks Car in any way that I can! :bigthumb

Peace :cool2:

[MRGRIMM]

If any tires/wheels need mounted and balanced (sticky or clips) for the PINKS car I or my co-worker Tommy can do them for free in Evendale any day this week except Sunday. A free alignment to your requested specs could probably be worked in as well, I just have to squeak it by the management but I'll take the blame...thats all I can really offer other than being available for a somewhat novice helping hand Thursday evening/night if any work is being done to the car.

[Stangman]

:jawdrop: that cant be it... that thing has 4 turbos!!!

[Timido]

That would have took a little while to weld all those pipes to those blowers !)

[69Cobra]

DAYUM!!!

Now is the real engine carb or efi?

[95redstang]

Damn that thing could power the space shuttle..

[dedpedal]

It did power a Camaro and made over 2200 hp.

[Timido]

The real engine is state of the art it is Carberated and has a dry shot of fuel only as a cheating device.

[chuck]

It did power a Camaro and made over 2200 hp.

Yea kev, i think your right. isn't that Mike Moran...

[PonymanfiveO]

Yea, that Mike guy was gonna donate it for the Pinks ride but we couldnt get it to fit. so were gonna run the "Duct Tape Supreme" that Timido is talking about.

It does have cool blue anodized Moroso valve covers and T-handle bolts though.
Should make it more intimidating...

[NXcoupe]

Yep, that small block chevy was a bitch to get down in that mustang. The car kept rejecting the transplant.

[RIXXX93GT]

Any updates guys? Has that thing had its first breath yet?

[DSSKing68]

Are you working on the car this weekend?

[Foxxx5oh]

[Blk88GT]

[plated]

Yep, that small block chevy was a bitch to get down in that mustang. The car kept rejecting the transplant.so you did use that 327 out of the s10 does it still have the camel hump heads and 3/4 race cam,that edelbrock carbitrader ought to do the trick now;) i'll drop off the b&m shift kit later:lol: yee haw
