Hi! I've been lurking around these forums for a while, and I thought id share my cars with you guys. Some of you probably know me from racingflix.

The first one is a 1978 Corvette. It has the original block with the whole performer RPM package. It makes about 420 hp and 415 ft/lbs of torque. The transmission is a muncie M-21 four speed w/ a gearvendors under/overdrive. It has a modified front and rear suspension. In the rear, it has a transverse fiberglass leaf spring with bilstien shocks. The front was converted from upper and lower a arms with springs to a transverse leaf also. Both front and rear have fully adjustable ride height. It has sparco racing seats and a momo steering wheel. Both front and rear urethane bumpers were removed for custom fiberglass ones. Oh yeah, and it has almost open sidepipes. The only thing I haven't finished is the bodywork, which you can see.

The BMW is a 1982 320i w/ a 3.5 litre six from a 1991 535i (hence 335i). The modifications to the engine are a chip (proven to make 250 hp or more) an intake, and valvesprings. The transmission is a getrag five speed with a 3.94 limited slip rearend. The whole suspension was ditched for E30 coilovers, 200lb springs rear, 400 front. Both front seats were removed, and in their place Momo seats and a momo steering wheel now sit. In place of the 15 inch stockers are 16 inch, 3 piece wheels w/205 rubber. Fiberglass hood. Front and rear bumpers both removed, made custom ones. A lot of bolts were replaced with titanium and aluminum. My dad runs a business called www.titaniumfasteners.com, specializing in lightweight racing bolts and nuts. He is also a certified distributor of ARP and Stage 8 fasteners. Thats about it, hope you like the pictures! (well, maybe not the ones of the corvette, ill take some good ones tomorrow.)
