Video / walk around of my Car with the New Fast 2.0 "working"

[obengston]

Just wanted to share a video of my car and what I have accomplished with basic tools in my garage. I started this project as most with not much to work with. One great thing I had going for me is the body was pretty much great. Everything you see (and allot you don't) I did by myself with the help of this site, as well as a few more, and google. I see allot of nice builds on this site and the magazine's, and wonder how people have such a skill. My car has allot that can't normally be seen at first look. Since I don't have the skill/directions that allot of folk have, I just started with wanting a fast, good handling, car. So the result has me here.

Complete Nitrous system (has remote opener, warmer, Lean Shut down switch, Progressive controller, purge, remote bottle pressure gauge)

Stereo (with sub, and 2 amps)

New Interior ( nice kick panels with speakers)



Again thats just a brief summary. I have basically replaced everything on this car. I started out not knowing a whole lot, but has been a DRUG learning.


Wants:

1. I still need door panels. Can't find the Deluxe door panels anymore except in aftermarket, and so far I have been scared to order them from some of the feed back that I read of individuals saying they fit bad. I would really like to have a nice custom interior done, but funds seem to have slowed this. This is one area that I can't do and find it amazing when I see individuals who can do custom interior.

2. want some better tailights.

3. Better Rear Suspension/Upgrade. Maybe looking to do some sporty driving/track courses. It currently runs 10.6 in the 1/4.

And hey more power..lol I want to build a stronger N/A motor (I know why didn't I go with the LS??).

The list never stops....

:headbang: You should be proud of the work you've done.

How's the 'seat of the pants' vs the carb?

what exhaust cutouts did you use?

Thanks... It's very responsive, picks up and pulls hard. Once I have several hundred miles on it where I feel it has had a good learning curve, I will hit the track and introduce the nitrous with it and see how well it performs. I'm fighting the issue of it just shutting off at random right now, once I have that figured out it will be a very nice setup I believe. 40deg out the other morning and stated right up with touching the throttle. Love the control and minor on the fly changes you can make without tools...just sitting in the seat.
