well i've gone to the darkside. about two months ago i tradded my stingray for a 91 gt convertable and a fully dressed extra motor and aod (my gt is a t-5) that had 46k miles when it was pulled out of a 91 lx (i was there 12yrs ago when it was pulled and set on a pallet in the corner of my buddys shop).i had kinda gotten tired of the corvette. i had it for 11yrs from 44,400miles to 86,700miles,and had a blast with it, but i'm one of those guys that has to have a project or 5 going on all the time.i never could bring myself to mod my #'s matching vett, and only having 2 seats is a drawback for family cruses. my buddy had this 91 gt convertable sitting at his house. he builds harleys and does alot of swap-n-trade deals with cars,bikes,tools,ect.....the car was clean and stock,and thats what made me want it. the only mods on the car was duel exaust no cats (no H or X pipe and crappy v-sonic or something muffs), and a cervantes cowl hood. i say the car was clean as a metaphor for the body, it was sitting in the yard for probibly 8 months and was dirty as ****. now i'm knee deep in mustang
for the last two months i dream about the mods i'm in the middle of,yes it's true the endless posobilatys of these cars is like crack to a guy like me. trying to keep it simple though i love the diy/home brew/ jy mods myself and so far the completed mods are.....frpp 3.73's to replace the stock 2.73's, 3g upgrade, massive battery and custom batt tray(soon to be moved to the trunk),sn95 70mm maf, custom hybrid fender mounted cia, smog delete,egr delete,and a 92 awd areostar alumm driveshaft. my jy parts in stock list include gt 40p heads, two 65mm exploder tb's(one modded and ready for install),two mark 8 fans, cougar alumm radiator (mark 8 fan bolts to it like factory),alumm diff cover frome p-71 taxi crown vic, two exploder upper&lower intakes (one early with better casting),two sets of 24# injectors (doint need them yet but pocket items in the jy),and lets not forget i have a complete stock motor now on my stand.
i should have started a build thread earlyer ,but o well. i'll post picks of the car and my projects as soon as i can. the car is med titanium and i plan on saleene black wheeles,lowering springs,tinted headlights,no lugagge rack(alreaddy have early notch trunk deck), and a basicly clean darkend look for the car. well sorry for the long post but it was overdue.. i'm open to sugestions and advise
