So....i bought a buddy (skinnies) 1996 formula roller that came with q1a's and a wire tucked engine bay and some other goodies for 1700ish. then i sold my full suspension set up on off the camaro except for the spohn 1in rear sway.

GOALS:
make a fun weekend car that can compete for the bolt on m6 record (11.805@113.96) and run mid 11's on the bottle

parts from camaro (denzel) thats getting used: 80k lt1 w/ 1.6rr and manley springs, t56, moser 9in with spool, ls1 rear brakes, and 4:11's, draglites, Titainium Retainers, pro 5.o shifter, acpt carbon fiber driveshaft, and some others im forgetting

parts adding to the engine/chassis from the camaro:
kirkey pro street seats, elec. water pump, nano kit, umi front k-member/lower a arms, umi adj lca's and panhard, bmr extreme tq arm, pirate subframes, battery relocation, manual brakes, and a few other odd and ends.

race weight goal: 2850


9/2/2008

finally started tearing into my project last nite (been moving into a new place). worked about 2 hours and got alot done.

buddy took the front bumper stuff and fenders off of denzel

took out the carpet and seats since im saving for kirkey's and ozite carpet. took out all 4 rear speakers (not gonna run a cd player, making a custom gauge holder deal in the cd player hole), the auto stuff, and the ebrake assembly.

9/15

the camaro now has the tranny, all rear suspension, and dash all out. starting on the motor here in a few. i ordered UMI chromoly double adj lca and panhard bar last week.

picked up a ls1 slp lid setup and two 275/60/15's to put on my draglites from a local tonight along with the custom alternator bracket that levi made for his old 383 pro setup. thanks for the hook up's fella's http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/thumb.gif

will be ordering the pa k member in a few days. still deciding if i should order it with the pinto setup to run a manual rack or not.

a local lsx guy is in the process making some nice custom seat brackets for the kirkleys http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/pirate.gif i got to sit in a car tonight with the 17in seat for the driver side http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/yup.gif ill prolly order the same seat setup that he is rolling with (17in ds and 19in ps)

thats all i got done so far. ill get some recent pics up when my camera charges http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/wavey.gif

[BIGT94z]

tonight me and a buddy worked on the camaro for about 3 hours. cut the front core support out, pulled the motor, pulled engine/trans harness, pulled the whole pedal assembly, pulled slave cylinder and clutch master, took out the master and booster, started taking off the body harness, we took out the stock k member and front suspensuon. all thats left is finishing the body harness, line lock and brake lines then its going to the crusher :headbang:

[bricez28]

[SnyperBob]

Nice project man, glad you weren't hurt in the accident.

I gotta ask....why were you driving 25 mph on a highway?

[SoulReaver]

Awesome dude! More updates!!

[Biggin'89]

Nice project man, glad you weren't hurt in the accident.

I gotta ask....why were you driving 25 mph on a highway?

b/c he was on slicks and it was raining cats and dogs. but it was a construction zone so the speed limit was actually only 45. and he was in the slow lane with his hazards on.

[KissMyWhtSS]

Nice project man, glad you weren't hurt in the accident.

I gotta ask....why were you driving 25 mph on a highway?
b/c he decided to DD on slicks. :doh:


Travis if you still have the body and need a truck/trailer to take it to the wrecker in 2 weeks let me know.

[Fixxer99TA]

For some reason, none of those most recent pictures work for me... Maybe its my computer....

EDIT : Nevermind, there they go. Stupid computer. Nice project, keep the updates flowing! :D

[JoeliusZ28]

[BluBeaSSt]

Very nice T :)

[BIGT94z]

well its all under that car and ready to be put in but autozone gave me the wrong damn header gaskets. so ima order some percey's d port ones and get her in fri . i adjusted my adj rear suspension too and did some more cutting. frank is ready to rip

[YZF]

Call me if you need some help! I want a ride, thats for sure :)

[Biggin'89]

[DarkSS]

How about the pastic frames for the door lock/window switches?

[2XR95Z28]

Looks like awesome progress, sucks about the z, but the formula should be preety nasty when its done. g/l with the rest of the build

[BIGT94z]

well guys i got the motor, tranny and stock k member in. im now debating on either doing the pa racing k member or a cc503 cam lol. also picked up a 15lb nano nitrous bottle and a 15lb nano kit for a good deal from nano then bought the brm extreme tq arm and subframes connectors off road pirate 1's car (collin). ima finish up some grinding this friday, put the stock tq arm on and ds, adjust my rear suspension a tad, and start it :)


i also have to figure out why my clutch master cylinder is getting hard and bending. either i need to move it over a tad or the clutch master cylinder is bad (could have been when i was pushed the pedal down without the slave hooked to the tranny to see if the rod was straight, which could ahve easily done it :thumbdown: )

When is Frank gonna be done T?

[YZF]

That coil looks like a fail coil :)

[BIGT94z]

When is Frank gonna be done T? would have started this weekend but i got an obd2 starter (yes there different) so my buddy bought over the bolts for the obd2 starter so it will start next weekend. it will be at the track on motor in march. getting the cage and bmr extreme tq arm installed my road pirate one in February. ima order the manual brake/line lock kit beg. of January and technically i COULD drive it but prolly wont :rolleyes: i also need to figure out my clutch mater cylinder issue too this coming weekend. goal is my feb to have the battery relo done, k member, manual rack, brakes, and kirkleys all in. ill have to see how the money situation is before i go counting my chickens before they hatch so to say. i totaled up 2300 in parts that i need before the ltx shootout :devil: (which i will prolly toast my lt4 clutch during the event leaving 6k side steps on the bottle)

[BIGT94z]

That coil looks like a fail coil :) :laugh: very true :claps: :cool:

[BIGT94z]

Well gents, I got a lot done this weekend on frank. I figured out the starting issue. Somehow the clutch fork got wedged in the bell housing. Idk how I put it on right the first time. Anywho frank now turns over. I didn't want to start it at 2am with open y pipe lol so that will have to wait. This was also my clutch master issue. I'm just glad my starting and clutch issue was a small problem. I put the stock tq arm on. I need to adjust my sway bar since It setup on the 9in for the camaro. Also deleted the oil cooler. I think I'm going to run 3/8 hose from the back of my stteam lines up to the fronnt of the radiator where skinnies ran it. Besides that its just throwing fluid in the tranny and rad. Hopefully I don't run into any other bumps in the road and it fires up :thumbup:

Oh bought some goodies this weekend from 385z28. Flaming river manual steering rack, back up new altie and opti, waterpump housing that ill get the heater holes welded and throw my ewp on, and poly motor mounts . Ill throw the rack and mounts on when after I get a aftermarket k member which I'm still searching for a used one.

All in all I think my march goal to be done for all motor is going good. may 8th is my goal for the jug just in time to do some test and tune for the ltx shootout :twisted:

[ksmyss]

might want to add a decent clutch to the mix. i know frist hand the lt4 doesn't like any type of sticky tires and high rpm launches. i would leave around 3-4k and tried a 5500 once and the car just sat there and the motor bounced off the limiter.

[YZF]

Woot woot!1!1!!

Look up Xmen, "Hank" McCoy is the Beast "Human" name from the Xmen...make sence now?

[BIGT94z]

ill gladly run hank :laugh::D

i plan on upgrading the clutch before the ltx shootout. 6k side steps wont last on motor or on the bottle :cool:


Ok, well it fires up and idels fine but when u apply gas it gets to much fuel and cuts out. Now the c105 plug is not plugged in which is data serial, injector fuse number 10, and other stuff that i know i dont need. The body harness is 96 and engine harness is 94. Would this create the said problem? Im getting no cel's either. Ill go through the engine harness with a fine comb again to make sure i got everything where it should

[ksmyss]

sounds like when i switched both of my temp sensors over to a dual temp sensor in the water pump. i had nothing to go by as far as wireing it up since no one had done it and i had a wire switched. it started fine but sounded like i had 3-4 plug wires crossed when i touched the gas. luckly that was the only thing i changed at the time and got it right the second time i hooked up the wires otherwise i would have been lost.

i found out the issue. the gas guage read a lil under 1/4. i did some tests and found out i wasnt getting fuel. i knew the twin pumps were good. so i poured 3 gallons of 91 in and fired right up :laugh: either the gas gauge is slightly off or the small tilt on the jack stands did it. it idles high but i have a vac leak i need to take of :whistle:

things i need to do this weekend: adjust my rear sway, add tranny fluid, add some washers to stabilize the clutch master cylinder on the firewall, wire up my brake lights and trunk release, do some misc things on the motor, cut off some front framage and a few interior things. if i have time put the dash back in

i need to take off the waterpump, opti and replace with a new opti (my was having a high rpm miss) and throw on the welded timing cover and csr waterpump http://mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/headbang.gif

that leaves febuary with all i need to do is do my battery relocation and get over to collins so he can toss in the cage, subframes, and bmr extreme tq arm http://mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[YZF]

Repost? Oh well. Let me know when you're ready to throw down. But you'll have to wait until its about 50 degrees or better :)

[SSSC]

That will keep you busy.

[BIGT94z]

I have been super busy with the new gf but i got a chance to work on the car tonight. Got my steam vent lines relocated, fixed my rear sway, added some washers to strenghten the firewall for the clutch master, i had to move my qa1 adjuster knobs to face the outside due to them coming to close to my 1" sway (this is when i realized the rear passenger wont adjust at all so ill need to get it rebuilt or buy a new one)

My grant steering wheel, install kit, taylor battery box, and flaming river cutoff came in friday. Ill toss all that in next weekend and should get my next shipment of parts in friday.

I got my negative cables all bought for my relocation but still need to go see kyler and get the positive cables bought.

things to do this weekend: take the wp housing to collin, install the ewp, welded timing cover, opti, add some fluids, throw on the driveshaft.

[BIGT94z]

got the rear brakes all done. wiring is all done (still need to solder my ewp wiring but the solder gun tip decided to kick the can), got the welded waterpumo housing and ewp on, skinnies stopped by and gave me a hand in the wiring. very thankful for that http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/lol.gif http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/thumb.gif i put the camaro front calipers, pads, and rotors on (less miles and more pad life FTW) all thats left is wheel studs (didn't want to make a racket around 830pm since our neighbors have youngins) and bleeding the brakes (kinda hard to do with just me http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/lol.gif )

ill work on it as a few hours during the week then finish it up fri day http://www.mofbody.com/forums/images/smiles/thumb.gif

went to the track 2 weeks ago. the da was low 500's. i lowered the psi down to 13 this visit, put the rear on 7 and fronts on 3, and hooked up the 2 step. first couple runs i had the 2 step at 5500 and clicked off a 12.40 @109.43 (12.40@109.43) and then a 12.352. raised the 2 step to 6000 and put the fronts on 1. the times went way down each run. i would hot lap the car 3 runs then let it sit for 20ish minutes. clicked off 3 more 12.30 passes then 4 consecutive 12.2x passes.
