Say hello to my new LX
 
Well I don't have any pictures yet, because the battery in my digi cam died (I'll try to get some up soon).

I know some of you may have noticed my sig changed a "little". Well the LX's tranny blew a front seal. So instead of replacing the seal I thought it would be a MUCH better idea rip out the 2.3/auto and replace it with a V-8/T-5 combo.:D

I've posted some "during" pics, sorry I didn't get anymore, but I'm not really a photo snapper.

Here's my mod list:
  • 65 289 short block, .030 over, forged pistons, shot peened rods, all ARP'ed

    Fully ported and polished GT-40 irons

    Comp Xtreme Energy cam (224/230* duration at .050. .509/.512 lift, 110* LSA)

    Edelbrock Performer RPM intake

    Holley 650cfm double pumper

    Crane 1.7 roller rockers

    Holley "blue" fuel pump

    BBK long tubes and o/r H-pipe

    Magnaflow cat-back

    deleted power steering and A/C

    MSD 6AL ignition box w/ Blaster SS coil

    Pro 5.0 shifter

    4.10's

    FMS "heavy duty" clutch

    SPEC billet steel flywheel

    PowerBond SFI balancer

    Fuel AutoMeter instrumentation

That's about it, but I'm probably forgeting a few small things. I'm shooting for some high 12's out of it on slicks and some mid 11's on a 175hp shot.

I still need to get some farking control arms, so it anyone is selling any, let me know.

That is all.......you can now continue about your pointless lives.:)

There is a guy selling upper and lower control arms for $145.00 "Buy it now" on ebay.

They look pretty good to me, way better than stock.

Josh, you'll need some sod to cover the big brown spot in the yard where the LX has been sitting for what seems like eternity. ;)

Real cute Tarzan, I think I happen to know that lil button, thanks for letting me know! How did you come up with the name Tarzan? Not making fun just curious. What are you waiting for, you haven't had it at the track at all?
