Anyone else have other projects going?
When I'm not working on the Celica, I'm working on an 89 Nissan Sentra Sport Coupe.
Picked her up for $500. She runs like new but needs some help in the power department.
I decided to work on the exterior first because I didn't like the way she looked in white.
Here's my progress so far -

How I bought her -


After a coat of black -


Present day -


My next steps are to build a decent hood scoop, do all the usuals to the engine,
upgrade the suspension (it sucks), get bigger wheels and wider tires and work
on the interior to get rid of the horrible "table cloth" looking design they used
on the seats, doors and various areas.

got any photos of your projects?

93 Trans Am -- This is a LONG term project. Currently have a $14K 383 stroker on a stand in the garage, have a $1500 PT76GTS in my pantry, a $2K FAST XFI Computer, and a whole host of other parts. Have approximately $20K in parts laying around for it. Still waiting on the hot parts for the turbo, and some other misc, and it'll all go together. Looking for 800+ RWHP and single second timeslips when it's done, full weight pump gas car.


My own custom fuel rails:


99 Corvette -- THis was NOT supposed to be a project right now, but after some spirited driving about 2 weeks ago now and a little bit of inattention on my part, I kissed the rev limiter pretty hard and after correcting that action proceeded to rip the camshaft gear out of the camshaft. Resulting damages included custom valve reliefs on every piston, custom bent pushrods, and custom vent valves. Had a set of ported heads and a Lingenfelter Turbo Camshaft on standby, but still have to cough up the dough for a Forged LS3 shortblock (377 CID, 4.070 bore 3.622 stroke, GREAT bore to stroke ratio), fuel system, misc stuff, and installation since I'm paying a buddy to do it as this happened 350 miles from home.


Piston Damage on the worst cylinder:

Worst bent valve:

Worst Pushrod (Not Me)

Missing cam gear and bolts:


Nice part?? This one should be completely streetable and lay down in the 700-750 RWHP range without batting an eye with the twin turbo's. Downside is that it's costing me $8K right now, which I really don't have but refuse to let this one sit on jackstands like the Trans Am.
