Any fellow gearheads?

I can't be the only car nut on this board.

I have an 06 Trailblazer SS that is currently going from AWD to RWD aftery front diff grenaded. Should be back on the road by next summer.

Once that bish is paid off I plan on getting a C7 Z51 or Z06 if its out by then.

 

[wicked442]

Cool man! Thats a road hugger i'll bet. I appriciate anything someone crafts with their hands. Im into street rods and muscle cars. I have a 57 chevy with a warmed over 327 and a 72 Olds 442 with a 600 hp nitrous ready big block.

 

[Zac Speed]

That Olds still have Olds power or is it a BBC?

The TBSS does hug. Thanks to drop struts, coils, tubular A-arms and rear control arms.

Putting in a built 4L80E with a Yank 4000SS stall. Got a 232/240 .600/.600 113 cam. The intake is off getting ported with the TB. Doing electric fans, Kooks LT's.. Should be good for mid to bottom 12's.

I've always liked the Trailbalzer SS their wicked quick for a big SUV ! I'm into cars myself. I've got an 09' Audi TT that I've done some mods to. Stage 1 ecu chip with a cai ( doesn't do much, just sounds cool) ... I also put hids in the foglights and LEDs in the interior... Tinted all around too... Next mod is some new wheels

That's awesome you've had that car for that long. I wish I had a couple of my past hot rods..

Original xtreme red

 

[Zac Speed]

Right on. I love that about Gen 3/4 L's motors. You see them swapped into any and everything.

I've got a year and a half till the TBSS is paid off then its Corvette time for me!!! I'm done with 4+ seats..

Haven't had any real problems yet so to speak, just this obnoxious rattling coming from somewhere in the trunk liner that I can't seem to fix. I'm constantly adding oil to the engine which is a pain, but other than that it's been flawless

How much Oil do you have to add between changes?

 

[supermanjow]

I've got an 85 notch back stang that I'm dropping the 5.0 out of an '89 in. I'll be modding the motor for a 350hp output. Should be a fun little rocket.

 

[Zac Speed]

EFI makes life so much easier! Do you already have the 89 engine?

You can do that with limited motor work and a 120 shot

I'd be embarrassed if I had to spray any amount to make 350hp.

 

[hvactech]

I'm more dragstrip orientated....h/c/i/f would get close with tuning

 

[McCrew530]

My First Truck was a 66 Chevy long bed that we re-did almost completely except for the trans tour out the 327 and dropped in a crate 350 with straight pipes coming straight back! the truck was sick! Dream car has to be the 56 Bel Air though I would love to get my hands on one of those!

56 huh? Thats cool. Everyone wants a 55 or 57. Those get kinda played out, and i own a 57 but its a 150 coupe not a bel air.

 

[wicked442]

Geo metro + BBC= Dream car!

Those are really nice to. There is just something about the 50's and early/ mid 60's style of cars that I like, big fins and sweeping body styles plus you can tinker on the motors with out the need of a computer.

Tubbed with some stickey Mickeys on the back it would jump off the ground. Good luck keepin it straight.

I agree. Lots of bold classy styles. Ya the pre-computer dayz. 3 wires and your car ran, so nice.

72 c10 swb 383 profiler heads frame off

Does it still have the trim on the side? What color?

 

[abish]

Medium olive. Shaved all of the trim but might put it back once I get it back from paint

 

[wicked442]

Those 67-72 trucks are nice. I 've owned 6 of them. One was a long bed that olive green. What trim level is your truck? Is the interior stock?

 

[hvactech]

Turbo E85 that bish!!!

There's only 1 e85 station here and its about 35 miles away....

 

[wolverines]

How much Oil do you have to add between changes?

I normally get a full synthetic swap every 5000 miles... Depending on how hard/much I drive the car ill have to add about 3 quarts... I've made it in between oil changes several times without having to add, but I notice when I do more highway driving the car seems to use up a lot more oil

 

[abish]

It's a custom. Interior was stripped when I got it. It's got a 80's model bench with folding arm rest that I'm getting redone soon. I really like the lower trim only look but thats just a 71 option

Whoa.. 3 quarts doesn't sound good. If it were like that every time I'd say you got something major going on. Although I don't know much about Audis.

Most vw's and audi's burn some oil. I've never been that low but almost a quart every 5000 miles

Yea, before I got the ecu upgrade it didn't burn near as much, but the added power was well worth it imo.. It came with an option to choose the desired setting so usually on long highway trips I'll select the stock settings and save some fuel as well

 

[supermanjow]

Yup and the '89 was also the first year that ford switched from an air speed sensor to mass air flow. So there's greater potential there as well.

 

[Zac Speed]

My dream car. Black Lambo Gallardo Superlegera with the Underground Racing twin Turbo setup.

 

[wicked442]

Which one of the big 3 has the baddest car. Challenger? Mustang? Camaro? Why?

I personally want a new Shelby Mustang. All black, with black chome wheels.and im a GM guy.

 

[Zac Speed]

Camaro- Handling, speed, looks.

The new Z28 with an LS7, Carbon Ceramic brakes, no ac.. That'd be my choice.

Classic Camaro SS, My dream car since I went to my first car show with my dad when I was little. fanboy ever since. No mods, I like the classics all original.

I'm in line to inherit a 38 Ford coupe I will get a pic on my phone so I can show it, my grandfather has been it's only owner and it is mint. Not all original he painted it, put new rims on it, dropped in a bigger engine, etc. But the original parts are all still with it in his garage. Love driving it, love how vintage cars turn heads and everyone looks your way while you're cruisin'

 

[wicked442]

Hell ya! You can see them comming from blocks aways. So much class and style. Anyone else play guess the make and model game?

I'll wax that Challenger ass with my TBSS..

 

[Duramaxhd]

I had a blue 06 tbss rwd and loved it but now that I got my 04.5 Chevy duramax I don't miss it one bit for a 6500 lbs truck it moves I can crush most want a be rice burners

 

[Zac Speed]

I'm really at a cross roads with my TBSS.. For ~$1600 I can get some Kooks LT/Y pipe.. Or I could buy a Turbo and BOV for less than that and run my existing manifolds.

N/A or FI.. I may go FI and splurge on a 4" crank, forged rods/pistons. about the time next spring when I'll be wrapping up this build I'll have a fat profit sharing check.. May have to go turbo E85 with the 4 door corvette.

 

[Duramaxhd]

I would go turbo just because most guys on the tbss forums have superchargers plus I love the sound of my turbo whistle especially when your spooling it up at the light

 

[McCrew530]

Sounds good please be sure to use turtle wax please and be sure to amoral the tires they can get dirty epically with the 470 hp hemi tearing the streets up. ; )
