dunefreak Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I've bought some new Crow belts. Thanks Suspensions Unlimited! They have nice friendly staff and a good prices too! Now I can't get any sh*t for them being sun bleached and old. I also plan on replacing my seats and getting a new pipe to quiet down my rail as soon I get a hold of the guy. I'd like to install an Odyssey battery, but I think my battery tray will have to be modified. Hopefully I can get some full side panels made up too if time and money permit.

justntime Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hopefully i will replace my motor with my 3.2 acura monoport ( its currently sitting in my garage) with ball bearing up-grades, it should put out about 400 hp on 5 lbs of boost. Fix my reverse, and maybe some HID's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randog Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I'm definatly pullin' my trans to replace my clutch and pressure plate. I'm sure I'll have to turn my flywheel too. Like last year. Going to machine a new rack and pinion top plate with nylon plugs and set screws to take out play that drives me f*in nuts. Grafix....Well I'm thinkin' something would be nice. Especially because ALL the chumps I've been camping with are powdering their cars RED. I've got a front wheel that looks like I bout it from Fred Flinstone. I run tubes in my front tires so it does still hold air just fine. May, at least buy a spare to take. I might treat the car to a water wash. I've never washed it with water. I always just blow it off with compressed air then a wipe down with Quick detailer. Don't want rust. Hope that's it. R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justntime Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That is all caused by reverse a-hole. What about you going to fix that bent up roof im not shure how that happened! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I will be adding the HID's I purchased....and that's about it. I had planned on doing more, but I'm worried about the tranny and engine case having cracks and will probably need to replace those. I'm not looking forward to it. Does anyone know anyone that will do case swaps? It's a VW..... I already have a tranny case and will be looking for an engine case. Anyone?

Hey Gerald, How did your motor and trans crack? Was it the way your chassis holds them? I had that problem with my blue VW car, remember? If it's the same situation, I got a great design. Let me know, I've been through it. R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandBox_Kid Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I thought I would resurrect this thread for one more improvement to the rail.....besides a new engine cage, HID's and possibly wiring..... I am adding "economy" disk brakes. They aren't the prettiest...but they are disk. I can finally throw out my 1962 drum brakes, and not worry about adjustments!

ynot Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Freshened up the Motor, went thru the trans, replaced the seat belts, replaced the radiator and Walt built me some custom radiator mounts for it. Let's see anything else? Gawd i hope not I may never recover from this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yep I got MOST of my goals met for rail improvements done...new seat belts, new chain and sprocket, new side panels, new battery, rewired my HID's to eliminate the remote switch, and added a nice new SuperStrapp to the trunk. I'm ready! :shocked2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
