Local Car Show - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #48914 26 posts Started by Defgeph
I went to a car show yesterday with good friends of mine. It was a nice turnout considering the amount of rain that fell when it first started. Mostly muscle cars and antiques, but there were two charged beasts there.

He took first place in the special interest group.

I was the only car in the "Tuner" class, so this is what I got.

Congrats on the win. So how do they score the cars? Exterior, interior, engine bay?? Even if there were other tuners there, you'd still blow them away.

I'm hoping you guys would help me with that. I know he keeps reading this thread. He doesn't want to feel like the odd ball at the meet, being the only domestic car there. I told him we'd welcome him with dropped jaws and puddles of drool. biggrin.gif

Dude. . . This car is holy **it fast. The best way I could describe it, ludacris speed, GO!

i believe all of 6gc is good with boost, domestic or not...

Seriously, who ever u are (jeff hasnt given us a name) come out, we always have a good time, and new faces are ALWAYS welcome.

His name is Shawn.
He burned out a relay and associated wiring for his radiator fan going to the car show. So I'm not sure if he'd risk the drive with it hard wired. I'll give him a call later on tonight to see what he thinks about the trip. He'd probably show up for Sundays activities.

If I can't get him to come down to Jersey. I'll organize a NY meet in his local area. But, I think he really wants a swing at the drag strip. We'll see.





I will return one day.
cool cool...Jeff, we should have an NY meet out at Haramin (sp) State Park...its alot like Bear Mountain, but more areas to go, and ITs just north of DWG in NJ.

edit/sidenote: Is that a vortech supercharger kit? Was that what was added to make the saleen mustang in 1989, or did he add that ON TOP of the amazing out of the box saleen performance?

I dont know stangs...and im just curious.

Also, whats his max boost? 7psi at like 5k?

Yes thats a Vortech I believe S trim. I believe he is running 12psi of boost. If I remember correctly it has a 383 stroker motor. Not the stock engine, its fully built. I'll say it again, this thing reaches warp speed.

I'll call him and confirm.

I will return one day.
As I said yesterday Jeff, that thing is crazy....definately get him to come.

Let me know if he comes, I'll be sure to pick up a box of Depends in case he gives us rides. biggrin.gif
