A little something that gets worked on between armwrestling.. We rebuild wrecked cars, and this is one my brother bought and has been finishing.. It's a 1998 Cobra, 75k miles, he is putting a GT35R turbo on it, has installed a tubular K member, Spec Stg 3 clutch, ordered some 4.10 gears , He built the inner coole piping himself, and does alot of the custom fabricating needed to fit it all, and he Has only been 18 for a couple months.. It is currently being put back together, The engine bay was stripped to paint witha custom color to match the finished car color..

That will be a fun car when finished. I got a supercharged 98 cobra. Steeda upper and lower control arms, borla side exaust, kenny brown cobra R subframe connecters, water/meth injection with a custom tune. It puts a smile, and a on my face from time to time.

we thought of doing the SC, but he likes turbos besides, there are alot of SC stangs out there, not as many with a TC,

both turbo and sc are sick! I will probably go with turbo for the ease of changing boost settings on the fly. gt35r is a nice size turbo but i think i will try and get away with a little more lag and much more top end on a gt40.

hellz yea, The gt35r is what we had on his escort zx2, it is a ball bearing turbo, and will be fine for him, he isnt wanting to replace that 32v anytime soon.. On the zx2 he was eating evo 10's cars that ran high 12's low 13's at the track.. until the wastegate line got pinched, it slammed 30+ psi (gauge only goes to 30), and scattered engine parts all over the interstate.

Here's my latest....i picked it up a few weeks ago for 6 grand. 1995 Formula 'bird with 43,000 original miles, one owner. 5.7L w/ a 6 speed manual. I'm not sure how she's getting more hp, but when I decide, it should be fun.

I don't have any, and since I'm a dumb a$$, I have no freaking clue how to get a picture from my camera(yes its digital) to my computer. Even if I could do that, I have no clue how to get the picture off the computer to the board. Someone tried to explain one time, but I couldn't follow You can see a glimpse of the engine on ArmTv, Gary must have not liked it enough to show the whole car?
