Where do i start? Names Jeremy, 22 from Australia.

Yeah, so err i really didn't want to do this. Wanted to buy a car and change a few small things but as always i get carried away (my last "daily" had 484rwhp and was 2" off the ground..)

My end goal is to drive this thing like i stole it. Rape it to (hopefully not) death. Originally i just planned to tidy up a few things, fix a few interior water leaks and make a little more power etc etc. Never happens the way you plan..

Stereo / Interior:

This is the list of parts in transit/sitting in my shed so far. Couldn't be bothered with pictures. You all know what this stuff looks like.

Oh yeah, forgot to add. Since the start of the thread on another forum i sold my 434... And bought this.

Gen4 L98 6.0L. It's an aussie motor, basically an LS3. Bottom ends can take around 650ish rwhp before they go uh oh. Heads standard with a set of springs will outflow what the bottom end can handle.

I also got an LS1 computer and reluctor wheel and cable operated throttle body. No dbw here.



Excuse the poopy photos.

[Anchor]

Dirty work has gotta happen before the fun stuff :(

Rusty rust... Yay..







Bit more progress

Might paint the whole car this colour...

[Anchor]

And a few photos of my old ride. Bit different to what you guys in the states are used to i think..

4.0L straight 6 with a GT3540 from factory. 14psi with a few mods. 484rwhp on the stock bottom end. 18x9.5's all round.

[Anchor]

Central locking kit and manual pedal setup turned up today. It's like christmas in my garage. Full of parts! T56 came last week..

I'm kinda scared to start ripping it apart, as everything is in pretty good condition.. Will make me sad not being able to walk out, start the beast and do skids and blow off some tuner kids. :(

[LeighP]

Mate, car looks great...have a friend with a similiar model Nova...very cool!

[rfalker1]

http://http://www.superchevy.com/fea...ova/index.html. <<< This car is super awesome and totally makes me think of what your going to do to your car. http://ls1tech.com/forums. I do not know if you have seen ls1tech but its a very informative website full of knowledge and informative people on all aspects of fuel injected chevy motors like yours.

Totally looking forward to future updates keep them coming.

Ps. Its alright if your misses calls you stupid I think most of the guys here, myself included, would call you a genius lol.

[kmdracer]

Next time the missus calls you stupid, just say what I do: "Well dear, you may be correct, but I'm smart enough to be with you, aren't I?" and carry on!

[Tig]

That looks awesome.
