I am making this thread to update everyone on the progress of my build and where the car is going. For years I have preached all motor and the N/A side of the spectrum. Well after being anti-boost for so long, I have made a choice of heresy and have decided to join the dark side. So to the boosted side I go, full steam ahead so to speak. But now on to the good part, the plan, mods, and what will be going on. So without any more rambling let's get to the good stuff mods and their status are as follows:

Hi Pacer, We look forward to your updates on the completion of your project.
Great Project 4-Sure

 

Updated

 

Quick update, everything(with the exception of the wideband and injectors) was installed and ran great until the rings on my 160K+ engine decided they had enough. Got a 20K L26 I'm getting ready to install the weekend after Christmas. Hopefully it will hold together enough to get some numbers. If anyone is interested I'm going to start a "Help Pacer get an intercooler" fund. Feel free to donate. lol

 

Hey good to see your still around and the beast is still going strong. I remember you from the 2000montecarlo.net days with you, julio(something), helldo, xeinightdog(however he spelled it), and iluvcigars before he went off to Germany years ago,..amoung others.

I see you finally found your side gfx congrats.
Looking forward to seeing more. Keep us up to date for sure.

 

Yeah man long time....

Actually funny thing iluvcgars(Lou) I ran into him the other day out here in Cali. He's now a first sergeant at one of the other squadrons at my base. Small world huh?

Ground effects are nice I like them. Sucked just having the one side like I did forever. But with them being "Official Pace Car" ones I'm happy.

I have a photo shoot scheduled with a professional photographer in January. Hopefully I'll have the new wheels installed and the engine bay all cleaned up.

 

Really small world! Did he still have his car?

 

JVC KW-NT3HDT radio===Awaiting purchase
man you are going to love this deck I got mine this year after seeing it at the 2010 CES it is the best deck that I have ever had just make sure to go to the JVC website and get the free updates for this deck if you go to My garage you can see it in my car and let me know if you have any questions

 

Yeah he still had his car, that's what caught my attention. I saw it and was like "That can't be anyone else's car. Unless he sold it to another military guy."

Blazed, were there any install issues with that radio? Crutchfield actually says it doesn't fit.

 

you have to do very minimal trimming on (I used my die grinder ) on a small black plastic support in the back of the factory location about 1/8 of a inch . You would not have to do that if you don't mind the deck being a little further forward in the mounting kit but I was trying to mount mine flush as possible at most it is 1/4 further forward than mine is . It is up to you .
