Tints
I like it
I think it will look good that way as well...
The car looks good with those wheels.
Sorry Matt. I say leave the wheels as is for now, until you can find a better set. Can't go wrong with those the way they are.
So I kept my wheels the original color for now. Anyway, I had my car out at Car Craft Summer Nationals so I figured what the heck might as well have some fun with it. It was my first time out and didn't do half bad. My time was :53 which wasn't that bad considering most older muscle cars were in the :55 - 1:00 range, and most newer muscle in the :49 - :55 range. I'm thinking I may have to take a few more runs at it tomorrow.

Awesome man! I always wanted to get use out of the performance parts that are on the car lol. Great opportunity, looks like a lot of fun.
Nice you should race with the scca so you can be in a type of class!
The G is looking good, dude! Looks like fun.
Heck yeah it was a lot of fun. And exhaust power, it was run by scca volunteers and i opted for info on upcoming events in my email so this should be just the beginning.
Dude this is just the beginning... AX is addicting. What club did you race with?

It was all just open for fun, which is cool with me for being my first time out.

Lookin Good!
looks real good bro!!
My latest project a few weeks ago. It's funny how much difference that manifold makes on the 6g75.

Is that the 75 manifold? The motor looks good!
i gotta get that tb! that bay looks sweet!
looks awesome man!
Is that a mivec only IM or it's on all 6g75's?
you should try and get that 90 degree turn out of the intake tract. it will flow better.
I agree, needs a more direct routing of the piping...Quote:

I was thinking of cutting the pipe before the bend for that reason but it helps angle it down into the massive hole of fresh air.
Something more like this would be more effective and better looking IMO:

Looking real good!
You can't go anywhere with the throttle cable unhooked buddy ;)

Very sweet indeed
I will snap a picture of Bj's 75 manifold since I have it sitting here at home. The bracket was pretty easy to mount on the manifold with what he did.Quote:

Thanks for the info Matt :) I still haven't made any progress on the tuning end. I have way too many things happening right now to give much attention to the car but when I move at the end of the month I'm hopeful that things will change.
Revival!
Well since the car is parked for a few months, I decided to start working on it again. Ever since the 75 mani swap I've had this crazy RPM pulsing at partial throttle above 2k RPM. I tried everything I could think of, such as checking all my new vacuum routing, switching to the 75 rear valve cover (because the 72 valve cover hits the 75 plenum) and replacing all intake gaskets. Even Silvertune of c3g was poking around under the hood to see if we could put our heads together and figure it out, then it dawned on him. I had mounted the throttle cable bracket to the firewall due to the excessive length of the cable, but the engine rocking pulled on the cable causing it to open and close. I could've kicked myself. So I've been looking around at work for ways to shorten the cable and behold, I found these on the Help! rack. They share the same 5/16" OD as the original throttle cable end. Problem solved.

And now the bracket will be bolted to the EGR valve upper bolt. You will need to drill out the bracket slightly since the bolt will not fit into the bracket without modification. But this is where it will mount.

The other ongoing project isn't very far from moving along as well. Only the fenders and condenser are left to remove before grinding the radiator support off. This will be updated soon as well.
