I haven't posted on here since 12-2006 O_o Hows everybody been?
On this past sunday, I picked up a 2000 Cavalier Z24 5spd Cayenne Red Metallic (if memory serves me correctly). Not that anybody really knows me or wants to read this, I figured I'd say hello and talk about what has gone on, car-wise, seeing its been almost 6 years lol. I ended up keeping the trans am, ran 11.89@118mph on a 1.83 60' with street tires. then I picked up a 99z28 6speed in 2009.(ran 11.94@115.68 on a 1.77 60' with bolt ons, on nitto dr's. a few months later It got wrecked by a female driver (she hit me at a pretty good clip, thus totalling it.) her insurance company paid for my car and i kept it, parted it out. In october 2010, I bought a 2001 Corvette, automatic. Recently sold it (3 yrs from when i bought it) But in those 3 years, I put a few hundred passes on it and managed to run 10's with bolt ons (current record holder 10.75@124mph 1.38 60'). I have a Youtube channel and most videos of my passes are on there, Not to mention some of my friends cars as well. There will be some videos of my Z24 sometime in the near future.
I bought a few saturns in between 2010 and 2013, one being a 97' sc2 5spd (july or aug 2010) With bolt ons, street tires and about 100lb of weight reduction, I ran 14.83@91mph 2.16 60'. In february 2011, my roomate at the time borrowed it without asking and ended up wrecking it... Motor and trans were still good though. I bought a 97 sc1 5spd and eventually dropped the SC2 motor in it. As a basic bolt on car on with street tires, I managed to run 14.91@92mph 2.14 60' with the MP2 trans (wider ratios). a few months ago I hurt the motor (possibly a bent valve) and picked up a 99 saturn SL2 5spd. Just sold that yesterday. I put my own intake on it. and Seeing that I've been tuning for a couple of years now & HP tuners supports the 2000 cavaliers, I went ahead and bought the vehicle license so i can tune it. I'm waiting on some parts to come in, such as a header and electric cutout, all poly mounts and bushings, a short throw shifter and an Eibach anti roll kit. The struts need replacing, so I'm thinking about ordering a coil over kit as well. In the meantime, I'll be on the lookout for another Corvette 6spd or maybe a S2000 for next year.
I'm sure I will have some questions for you all soon. Cheers
