Speed Kills
06-11-2008, 03:15 PM
Due to a catastrophic engine failure in my race car, this thing has gotta go. I don't know what's salvageable at this point, but it looks bad from here, so I'm preparing for the worst. It pains me to have to do this. I'd finally decided to keep the car now that it's finished and 100% and only make it better. I love this car, and if it wasn't for this car standing between me and drag racing, I'd be hanging onto it for a long time. Keep the BS out, and the money talk in.
PRICE IS $8,000 FIRM! If it boils down to one penny less, I'll pull the motor out of the thing and put the shell on Ebay. So don't bother asking.
I will accept most any trade, as long as it's 100% driveable (I'm really not too picky, fomoco/GM/Foreign/luxury/motorcycle) accompanied by $4000 or more.
I've got WELL over $10K invested in the car, with receipts for everything. Myself and BES_Stroked_Nova did ALL the work on the car, minus build the tranny, so I know most everything about the car.
You can look it up, this car was featured in GM High Tech Performance Magazine over a period of time from '00-'02 I believe, under the name "Magnum TPI." The car was sold as a roller, and converted for the LS1 before I got ahold of it.
I bought the car with a running, driving, LS1/T56 swap. Shortly after the cam swap, the car stretched a rod bolt or two (weak '98 bottom ends....).
As the car sits.....
Motor:
'04 LQ4 6.0 liter longblock with 27K documented miles (bought from Truck Parts Unlimited in Bloomington, IN in May '07)
Katech rod bolts, all rod bearings inspected upon removal, looked PERFECT.
Texas Speed Torquer V2 Cam 232/234 duration, .595/.598 lift 112 LSA
TSP pushrods
Ported LS6 oil pump
Comp 918 valve springs
Rollmaster double roller timing chain
LS6 intake manifold
Jantzer ported TB
Aeromotive AFPR
Custom 3" intake tube/cone filter
Filled motor mounts
EGR/AIR deleted
off road y pipe
3" SLP "Two on the left" catback,
Flowtech cutout
DMH Electric cutout
Custom Speartech wiring harness.
Tuned with EFILive! by Richie Kolb of BESRacing. The car was finish tuned this past weekend, drives like a completely stock car. I averaged 19.1MPG out of the last tank with mixed driving.
I have a set of JBA Firecone Shorties (coated) I'll include with the sale.
Trans:
Rebuilt T56
carbon kevlar synchros
Steel shift forks
forged gears 1-4
LS6 clutch/PP
Pro 5.0 Shifter
All has <10K miles on it
Rear:
9 bolt rear, 3.27's with rebuilt posi unit, <10K miles
Suspension:
Hotchkis panhard bar, sway bars, lower control arms, subframe connectors, lowering springs, ball joints, and tie rod ends.
Revalved Bilstein shocks.
EXTREMELY nice Trans Am GTA mesh wheels, newer rubber in the front, rears may or may not be replaced by time of sale. They're not bad, but definitely don't have the tread the fronts do.
Damn near new AC/Delco front brakes.
Newer brake lines all around
Body:
97K original miles
It has some spots, the doors have small surface rust in the bottoms as most third gens do, there's a SMALL ding or two, and the paint on the roof has seen better days, but could proably be buffed.
The car shines when it's clean. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Interior:
Fully restored red interior, ask anyone who's seen it, it's DAMN nice.
6 point weld in rollbar, with removable/swingout door bars.
Custom knurled shift knob
To be perfect, it'd need a headliner put in it. The carpet in the hatch area is slightly faded, but tolerable. Seats, and everything else, is perfect.
