gpderek09	I've got a 1981 pontiac trans am 301 turbo. got it off ebay for 5g's shipped all the way from oregon (i'm in texas). it was in ok condition, the original engine was still in it, in decent condition. i spent a couple months tightening some nuts and bolts, and put in an interior. the original interior was basically gone. my dad and i decided we wanted to put a real motor in it, i did the honors and blew the old engine up on the high way. we ordered a crate chevy 350 racing engine from a company out of arizona that sells them bored and stroked to about 400 cui. to go with it we also got a chevy turbo 350 transmission. long story short pretty muche everything under the hood is brand new; from the radiator to the distrubuter cap. right now i'm painting it. shoudln't be much longer, maybe a week, till i've got it out on the road. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=thrashmobile.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=attachment2.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=attachment.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=1acc15570f1d.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=0d548ca779ed.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=116179afb162.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=0c640ce8474e.jpg i also, living in texas, have a thing for off-road driving. if you've never been mudding you ought to try once. it's a blast. i've also got a 1986 jeep cj-7 i did a little work on. but we pretty much bought it as is off ebay. 8g's shipped from florida. the engine is re-built stock amc engine. makes about 300 hp. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=63544e9250ac.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=a994139f830a.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/car s/?action=view&current=7b7472f6e870.jpg	I've got a 1981 pontiac trans am 301 turbo. got it off ebay for 5g's shipped all the way from oregon (i'm in texas). it was in ok condition, the original engine was still in it, in decent condition. i spent a couple months tightening some nuts and bolts, and put in an interior. the original interior was basically gone. my dad and i decided we wanted to put a real motor in it, i did the honors and blew the old engine up on the high way. we ordered a crate chevy 350 racing engine from a company out of arizona that sells them bored and stroked to about 400 cui. to go with it we also got a chevy turbo 350 transmission. long story short pretty muche everything under the hood is brand new; from the radiator to the distrubuter cap. right now i'm painting it. shoudln't be much longer, maybe a week, till i've got it out on the road. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=thrashmobile.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=attachment2.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=attachment.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=1acc15570f1d.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=0d548ca779ed.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=116179afb162.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=0c640ce8474e.jpg i also, living in texas, have a thing for off-road driving. if you've never been mudding you ought to try once. it's a blast. i've also got a 1986 jeep cj-7 i did a little work on. but we pretty much bought it as is off ebay. 8g's shipped from florida. the engine is re-built stock amc engine. makes about 300 hp. http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=63544e9250ac.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=a994139f830a.jpg http://s8.photobucket.com/albums/a50/gpderek09/cars/?action=view&current=7b7472f6e870.jpg

Its a Kawasaki ZX-7R. After the advancer and the stage 1 jet kit its at about...idk...150-160 HP. Its a 750cc bike and its fast as hell. 100+mph in 2nd gear at red line which is 12.5 grand. Ive done 160mph or so and it easily had more to go...but I got scared lol. Itll do 180mph pretty easily. Ive seen videos of them doing 200+mph with not much more work done to the engine that Ive done. Its funnnn!	http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/blindsidefr eak38/100_3454.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/blindsidefr eak38/100_3453.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g248/blindsidefr eak38/100_3452.jpg This has more HP than my car...so...I figured why not.

gpderek09	holy fuck, i'd be shitting myself going that fast on a bike. 70 in the jeep is pretty risky. haha. in the trans am (with the old engine), i went probably about 100, 110, with the t-tops off. but still, on a bike? now i want to. hahha.	holy fuck, i'd be shitting myself going that fast on a bike. 70 in the jeep is pretty risky. haha. in the trans am (with the old engine), i went probably about 100, 110, with the t-tops off. but still, on a bike? now i want to. hahha.

kurdtkobaign	Lmao! I wanna take it to the drag strip to see what its got. When I get on the freeway and its not very busy Ill open the throttle a bit. Its so scary...pushes your butt back in the seat, the front wheel pops off the ground a bit, and the engine fuckin screams. lol Like I said I get scared. But its weird, when youre going that fast, everything is in slow motion...literally. It feels like youre going slow, you cant feel anything on the road...no bumps, no vibration at all. Its like your gliding over the road... Ill get a vid up of a freeway ride to give you an idea lol. I gotta fix my back tire though, it blew! lol	Lmao!

MESAexplorer	Limiter at 110, reprogrammed the PCM, it'll go to about 130 then redlines. It's built for acceleration.	Limiter at 110, reprogrammed the PCM, it'll go to about 130 then redlines. It's built for acceleration.

Kinda pointless for mentioning it as you can't run a cold air with an Air to air intercooler...The turbo did come with a fender wall intake kit which is basically a cold air but with a wierd dome shaped filter like thing.	gpderek09 wrote on Oct 17th, 2007 at 8:48pm : a turbo and cold air?

gpderek09	yeah. the guys who did the paint said it would be ok sooner, but i'd rather wait just to be sure. they even threw in some really nice custom wax, a buffing rag, and this other thing to apply it with.	yeah. the guys who did the paint said it would be ok sooner, but i'd rather wait just to be sure. they even threw in some really nice custom wax, a buffing rag, and this other thing to apply it with.

Probably gonna bump up to a Cayman S in a few months if I can find one that has all the options I want (PCM, PASM, Sport Chrono). I was close to getting a 997 turbo but decided it wasn't a financially responsible thing to do	2007 Porsche Cayman, pictures on my blog (don't feel like posting them now).
