My new project 98 Trans Am
 
So I finally sold most of the parts to my integra street/strip car as it was becoming more strip than street. I wanted something I could drive cross country, something that sounded mean and that pretty much everyone respected, so I decided on a car that I've wanted literally since they came out in 98.

It's a 98 6 speed w/ 90k miles....

I bought it a week ago, and hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have everything the way I want it. My plans for the car are pretty simple, b/c these cars are so easy to get power from. I'm going to do a 4.10 gear, aftermarket pos unit, line lock, 125 shot, underdrive pulley, cam, and tune. I'm considering a set of black foose nitro wheels in 18" w/polished lip as well.

The only non stock parts on the car as of not are a hurst short shifter and hurst T handle (which i'm gonna switch out for the black round hurst stock style knob that has a nitrous button), and a magnaflow exhaust.

Here are a couple of pics, I'll get more today hopefully... and as of now, that truck is just as fast as my car, haha. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emdgust.gif

Are those C5 rims? Very nice man. How much did that set you back man? If you don't mind me asking.

Cool T/A man!

However, you insist on getting a line-lock and some other things I wouldnt think of doing at first.

Why not lid/longtubes and head/cam ? Then get HPTuners or LS1edit. /shrugs

I've never been a fan of Ls1's on the bottle, maybe becuase I like the sound of one screaming all motor https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Get a 4.10 and a 12-bolt rear end QUICK becuase if you hook hard, that 10-bolt will start cryin for mommy and eventually break https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Trans Am's are so much uglier than Camaros. I hate those stupid fucking honey comb tail lights and all the heavy plastic body parts scream white trash IMO. T-Tops don't help the white trash imagine, haha.

those pics are big
it made the ugly bigger

Glad you're happy with it. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I'll pass on something like that, though. Doesn't suit my tastes.

http://a67.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/...04105066_l.jpg

Texas Speedshop Magic Stick 3 cam
bbk 80mm TB
LS6 heads(z06)
lid
Longtube headers
true duals (turndown)
HPtuners tuned

Its a badass car, and sounds like it rev's to the moon.

Nice buy, I can't say I'm a fan of those C5 wheels on there though. But it beats another muscle car driving around on torque thrusts.

Everyones too narrow minded, that can will spank 90% of the cars on this website so haters stfu. As for 4.10s, thats way too small of a gear for driving cross country if you want, 3.73s are more what you need if you plan on doing highway. LS6 conversion would be nice though.. But H/C with a tune, LT and duals, you'll be pretty stout. Wont even need the nitrous. But ya go have some LSFun lol.
