[darren@ridetech]

Price will be the same as the first gen. Camaro.

[69bigblock]

I guess I didn't even need to send you guys an e-mail then. Keep the updates coming.....

[NOVA]

I'm interested in more info & pic's.
and oh, I can give some awesome feedback! if you are looking for any OTHER test Nova's by chance? :drool: :fingersx:

[jb@ridetech]

I will post some new pics as soon as they get it on off the lift.

[JMarsa]

How about checking fit for 4th Gen Nova's? Either with this product or the 2nd Gen Camaro product. 75-79's get no love.

--JMarsa

[jb@ridetech]

im sure we will, once we get this one done.

[motoboy]

Interested in doing an at event install on my 30k mile Nova?

Thanks, John

[darren@ridetech]

I think that we are going to do an install on our 70 at Indy GoodGuys.

[73novaguy]

Keep the pics coming!!!!!!!!!!! Looking great so far guys!!!

[69bigblock]

Would this interfer with a 3" exhaust system exiting from the stock location?

[darren@ridetech]

You should be able to exit it in the stock location, but the portion over the axle will have to be modified.

[dhardison]

i bet you want to see one with wheel, and on the ground. me too! Any "on the ground" pics yet??:seizure::seizure:

[jb@ridetech]

not yet, I will check and see if anymore progress has been made.

[jb@ridetech]

[73novaguy]

I love it, get some more pics ASAP. Are you running a compressor on this system?

[6'9"Witha69]

When you say on the ground, you mean it! Looks good.

[jb@ridetech]

[Part Time]

That's sick!

What kind of fitment problems would I have with my 73 Nova with the DSE deep tubs? I've not installed the DSE upper shock crossmember yet.

[69bigblock]

Those are some nice pics. like the second better.

[jasonsnova]

looks awesome but Dang!!! thats alot of $$$$$$$$$$ looks like i wont be air ride'n my car this winter.....:hand:

[darren@ridetech]

That price is using the best equipment that we have. If you are on a budget you could get a nice kit including Shockwaves up front (using oem arms), AirBar in the rear with the ARC4000e2 comp. kit for around $4389.

DSE minitubs shouldn't be a problem since the frame rails are not moved. Everything mounts to the inside of the rails.

[dhardison]

Darren,

Is the only welding necessary still just the four tabs on the axles tubes?

[darren@ridetech]

Yep. This rear kit is almost identical to the Camaro, but the upper cradle is a little different.

darren, what would this "budget kit" consist of exactly?? :naughty:

[motoboy]

I also was wondering about the wheel fitment that was used. Offsets, and sizes. Can you buy just the AirBAr without the air shocks?

Thanks, John

[CHAZMO1986]

I Think That I Am In Love! That Car Looks So Tough, Hopefully Soon And Very Soon, Mine Will Resemble That One.

[69bigblock]

Price is reasonable. Just all depends what type of compressor set-up you want. My friend is looking into the airride set-up for his 79 malibu for his project...

[69bigblock]

Glad this kit finally cam out. Heard about it coming out for awhile. Been debating on a suspension set up for my car..

[darren@ridetech]

That car has 225/40/18's on the front and 245/40/18 on the rear. Not sure on the b/s, but we'll check it for you.

[darren@ridetech]

If anyone wants to see first hand how well this system performs, this car will be at th Nashville Goodguys show this weekend running around the Autocross. The car will be availble for joy rides if anyone is interested!!!!

[NOVA]

Any plans on bringing the car west (california) for any up coming events?

[darren@ridetech]

It will most likely be at the Dallas GG event, we are holding an Auto Cross there as well. If you call that "out West".... : )

We will have a booth at the Pleasanton GG show, but there isn't any room left in the trailer after the diplay. We do need to figure something out for getting a couple of our cars to a track event in Cali.

Did anyone make it down to Nashville this past weekend?

[wiedemab]

A group of us went to Nashville. It was a blast. Brad Coomer (is that spelled right) and Brett and a few of the other ART guys just about wore out the AutoX track. The Nova seemed to go around the track really well. I'm not sure how its times compared to the other ART cars. I'm also not sure what it is running for a motor compared to their other cars?

One side comment - Brett's '69 Mustang is just insane! That 460 Windsor motor is putting out some power and it was hooking up well with the R-compound tires. I think Brett was going to get the pics from a photographer that we were standing next to, but Brad had the left front tire about a foot off the ground (no I'm not exaggerating) coming out of the last turn toward the finish line.

If anyone gets a chance to check out the AutoX at any of the Goodguys - it was a blast to watch.

Later,

Brandon

[70TWO NOVA]

if only i had an extra 7 grand layin around :crying:

[jb@ridetech]

i wish i had some pics of the wheel that high in the air, but if anyone has a better photo please let me know, i am willing to trade shirt's and hats!!!! this is the shot the Scott took

[wiedemab]

I didn't have my camera with me (left it in the car). I saw/heard Brett ask the camera guy for the pic, so hopefully Brett will have it soon. It was pretty early on Friday and Brad was driving the car. I don't think it was one of the better times for a run, but it looked impressive as hell!

The picture may prove that I exaggerated some, but I swear it looked like it was a foot high - I'll wait to see what the picture shows.

Just out of curiousity - not to hijack this thread, but what kind of power is that motor putting out? It has to be in the 650 - 700hp range.

I just realized their is another thread on this topic, I posted over there too!

Later,

Brandon
