A tease...-The Stig- 03-31-2009, 08:46 PM -Josh- 03-31-2009, 09:39 PM I call bullshit...again -The Stig- 03-31-2009, 10:10 PM Why won't you believe Joshy? I'll send you another pic to your phone. :) CivRacer95 04-01-2009, 01:02 AM I absolutely LOVE the fact you can see that there's nothing but some loose wires behind the wheel... You fail yet again Matty... :biggrin: VR43000GT 04-01-2009, 02:00 AM I guess I am at a loss for what is going on. Did you get an old Corvette or what? CassiesMan 04-01-2009, 10:48 AM Either he got an older Corvette (C5?) or he managed to finagle some Corvette brakes onto his G8 GT with smaller wheels for more rubber to fulfil his AutoX dreams. jeepgclwj 04-01-2009, 11:32 AM Either he got an older Corvette (C5?) or he managed to finagle some Corvette brakes onto his G8 GT with smaller wheels for more rubber to fulfil his AutoX dreams. thats sounds about right... Sweet pick-up!! Hey Stig, in the end was it worth getting the G8 and if you had it to do it again would you have gotten something else? Polygon 04-01-2009, 12:02 PM I absolutely LOVE the fact you can see that there's nothing but some loose wires behind the wheel... You fail yet again Matty... :biggrin: I also see a damper. -Josh- 04-01-2009, 12:16 PM Nice try matty, the new project is gonna be sweet though CassiesMan 04-01-2009, 02:34 PM Part of me also wants to say a Corvette set up on the truck...or maybe he did a total WTF and hooked up the brake and wheel to a trailer, with the loose wires and all. Of course, part of me also wants to say its total BS, given today's date. VR43000GT 04-01-2009, 03:02 PM ^^I was thinking that to but he posted it yesterday, not today. And then agian maybe this is just another one of -TheStig-'s posts that just all together don't make any sense...wouldn't be the first time. -The Stig- 04-01-2009, 10:06 PM ^^I was thinking that to but he posted it yesterday, not today. And then agian maybe this is just another one of -TheStig-'s posts that just all together don't make any sense...wouldn't be the first time. So true... Ok ok, you guys are my friends... so I'll share with you my latest endeavor. And no, it's not Wheels and C5 brakes on my G8... and no it's not a wicked cool setup on my truck. But... not a bad idea! 1971 Camaro RS - roller http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb68/Matty40000/Camaro/0401091813_01.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb68/Matty40000/Camaro/0401091816.jpg (http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb68/Matty40000/Camaro/0401091813_01.jpg) What it has... one new goodmark fender powder coated sub frame all new moog steering linkage detroit speed upper and lower a arms bilstein shocks front/rear hotchkis front coils hotchkis rear leafs hotchkis/bilstien front and rear shocks kore3 c-5 front brakes kore3 c-5 rear brakes / with parking brake global west aluminum body mounts all new gm door hinges(not yet installed) kore3 brake hoses 17 inch vintage wheel works V40's nitto 245 front ..nitto 285 rear everything in rear diff is new..moser axles, eaton posi, gm 3.42 ring and;pinion, all new bearings Over $12,000 invested if you include the purchase price of the car for the last owner. I won't say what I paid... but let's just say... it was a steal.:biggrin: I also picked up a 2003 KTM Pro Sr. 50cc race bike included in the purchase price. It's for my Nephew... his 'dream bike'. I'll post more pics later when I can get more time to tinker... CassiesMan 04-02-2009, 03:18 AM TT LS7 or ban. -Josh- 04-02-2009, 04:59 PM -The Stig- 04-02-2009, 05:13 PM quiet you... motor options are still up for grab. It'll come down to whatever I can get for the cheapest price. VR43000GT 04-02-2009, 05:52 PM TT LS7 or ban. So much for staying in a reasonable budget. :lol: Looks like a fun project. I am interested to see what becomes of it. BullDog71ss 04-07-2009, 08:36 PM Nice choice on a new project, Matty. There's a ton of gm goodwrench hotrod motors out there that'll suit that thing nicely, without breaking the bank...much. RACER D12 04-07-2009, 10:20 PM Is it gonna wheelie like every car Toretto touches? If not than epic fail vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
