89 Rag 07-13-2002 10:43 PM

89 Rag 07-13-2002 11:11 PM

by the way i think your car is looking good 89rag hope it turns out well for you https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Twin89Stangs 07-14-2002 02:30 AM

looks pretty good!

not a fan of the spoiler.

But it makes the car stand out it is custom and it is something you wanted so more power to ya!

Cant wait to see more pics of your car.



By the way aint hating on the spoiler at all... I am just a fan of small or no spoilers. I like the clean sleek sleeper look. But the cars does look good for the amount of it that is assembled! lol



Keep up the good work!

Rob x-7 07-14-2002 09:18 AM

Looks like you really took your time with this one, did you actually re-paint under the hood black, or did it clean up like that? You do to your car what you want, but out of curiousity, why not the racingbeat spoiler?

redrum 07-14-2002 09:33 AM

omg!!!!i no he just didnt!!ricer!!ive seen that spoiler on everything from a buick regal to a honda civic to toyta paseo.please take it off.dont ruin another one.

Looks good, that spoiler is fine, actually looks kinda good if your in front of the car like in one of those pics. So what are your plans for it?

Rotarydragon 07-14-2002 07:04 PM

That's not TOO atrocious, not near as bad as the Mullholland kits that were running around

What in theee hell are you wining about, A little spoiler and some paint? other than that its the same car; looks wise. Clean. The spoiler, in retrospect was a pain in the ass being molded and all. From the manufacturer it looked like, well i've **** prettier things. I have almost 20 hours of prep work into that ****** thing and to be honest I would have been better off just pitchin it in the ****** dumpster. That is where I stand on that issue, If it don't have one, it aint gettin one. Enough said?

vosko 07-14-2002 08:58 PM

no more flames !

Shane.Trammell 07-14-2002 09:01 PM

hey its your car man, do what you want, but if you put your pics up you have to be ready for any replies you get. are you goin turbo with this thing??

89 Rag 07-14-2002 09:17 PM

I dont know im kinda leaning toward the Cadmen SC, but I'm also planning on pickin up a turbo chassis and building the #@%$ out of it. The Ragtop is so damn heavy and its just an N/A engine, I mean if I could get the horsepower to weight ratio closer to 10hp per 100lbs It would be nice but either way, turbo, or SC, Ill end up spending a ton of time and money. I've still got time to deciede, parts are still coming in

A good turbo setup should be able to get you down to about 6 lb/hp. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Come on, the spoiler isn't that bad. There are definitely better ones out there, and I personally wouldn't have put it on there, but its not nearly as offensive as most of the ricer ****. I also wouldn't have painted over the taillight lenses, but then again, I'm a big fan of the way the lights look stock.



You should definitely do something with it to back up the look. I don't really like the Atkin's S/Cs because you can't keep the stock EFI system. Carbs seem so low-tech in comparison. With all the internal mods you have on the engine, you should totally go with a turbo. Slap a big-ass snail on there, and spin your way to heaven.
