These weren't even to the wear bars before we started.

The tires were donated. :lol:
The owner of the silver WS.6 replaced his tires with the same set-up I use on the street and gave me these. Discount mounted them for free since I didn't need them balanced.
I needed the 'anger management' class I took with the T/A yesterday. :lol:


Here are some pics the owner of the silver WS.6 took yesterday.

My hood was up trying to figure out why I was idling at 3200RPM's after the donuts.
Freaking popped the oil dipstick out. :lol:

And one short video. This is the in-cab shot of the stoplight tracks.

Video won't be released from quite some time yet. Most of the footage we got yesterday will be going towards a couple different vids. A friend is putting one together for LS1.com.

One last teaser pic....taken from the footage.

You need a second camera on the car to catch the smoke. That would be cool.

The new video will be several months out. I still need plenty of footage to fill in spots and to make it better than the last one, which won't be easy.
Just gives you a good idea of what is to come. :grinyes:

Now that just looks mean.

Cops come knocking on your door yet for that?

Mr. Luos
06-02-2007, 11:40 PM
Nope. Although I am sure it probably got called in. :lol:
I was really needing a release after the week I had at work and figured I would just go for it. Could have been a lot of trouble for sure.
But I did get the 'relaxation' I needed. :lol:

And 2.2...I have gotten so used to the power it almost feels average to me anymore. :lol:
Sad isn't it??

yeah, but since you built it for F/I...

i got used to cars with ~400bhp because my friends are in the business of building them, after a while they were nothing special.

then i drove their company's hillclimb racer on a straight private road. ran 1014bhp at the fly with a single-shot intercooler. never felt anything quite like that.

scary, but awesome.

Mr. Luos

The plan was originally F/I.
But I changed the build to N/A when I lost a job in the middle of the build. Upped the compression and went with much more cam than originally planned.

Ahh, shame.

you think if money allowed you'd go get it blown?

i'm assuming when you say F/I you mean supercharged?

Mr. Luos
06-03-2007, 06:17 PM
ATI ProCharger. :grinyes:
Probably do it in the future. Although I really don't need any more power. Thing is already needing a cage...and I am not putting one in.


Took a bunch of pics today in this parking lot.

just do this kind of stuff on back roads or at industrial parks on a weekend when the lots are empty. i got busted one time for doing a big burnout in front of my old high school in the iroc. told the cop i was just learning to drive a manual and let the clutch go too fast. he bought it and got off with a warning.
