Wrecks to Riches: what parts would you like to see used

[wickedridz]

As a veiwer of many car shows i often wonder why the builders choose the parts they use as well as showcase the install of the parts. i am curious to see what you guys,the veiwing audience would like to see us use or recommend. like the first season we are building several different makes and models of cars. thank you for watching!

A 500hp LS2 ($10k) from turnkey engine supply. I want to see if their 5-wire hookup is as easy as they say.

[wickedridz]

awsome choice! have you or anybody else actually delt with any of their products?

No. Ive heard good things about them in terms of customer service. My curiosity lies in their claim of an easy "5-wire hookup."

Id like to see just how "easy" that is.

[wickedridz]

very true............some easy deals are anything but that

DSE quadra link or lateral dynamics 3-link suspension. Would be nice to see it done on TV.

[wickedridz]

has anybody heard if the DSE system is shipping?

[TonyL]

a 50/50 ground effects kit on a camaro.

a quatralink as stated above. Some DSE mini-tubs, and full advantage taken of them.

DIFFERENT RIMS (branch out. please)

[muthstryker]

I'd like to see a hydroboost system installed, like one from Hydratech. A 3 link or 4 link conversion in the rear suspension. Also, one of these Tremec manual conversion kits from either Kaeser or Classic Chevy 5 Speed or ATS. Take a car from automatic to manual and spell out the process. Or go the other way and turn a manual into an automatic using a paddle shifter. I don't know about the rest of the nation but thats the kind of stuff that would catch this crowds attention.

Ditto and some DSE installations as well. Maybe even their new subframe!

Something besides a Jon Barrett engine. I'm down for a LS2 with twin turbos, or LS7 big block.

Definetly go into more detail on what inside these car. I know you guys know whats in them but tell the producers exactly what to say. They told audiences that the gang green blowen engine could support 600HP when you told us it had close to 1,000HP here at PT which sounds more realistic. When I heard that durning the show I said WTF thats way low on HP, it doesnt make Barrett look like a good engine builder even though he is. I also suspect the camaro had more the 500-550HP on a blowen 383. You can turn a zz4 into a 520 HP with some AFR heads and different cam and carb/intake.

I dont you guys should change the parts since your just going to auction it off and the future owner isnt going to really care just as long as they're better and make good HP. You wouldnt want to loose 20K on a twin turbo LS7 when you already know the "old tan guy in the hawiian shirt" is going to buy it and I really can see him thrashing around in a 800HP+ muscle car.

P.S I hope this doenst piss off the wrecks 3 riches crew
