boxkita Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Going to pick up, I hope, a running car this weekend. The plan is to swap the motor into the "Silver Bullet" (Yeah, I know not everyone associates that name with the Coors Light's train, but whatever) and take it out for a few track days. I have lots of ideas about what I want to do with the car, however, I don't have the budget to wander thru a lot of options. Until the car is on track, everything I want to do is an expensive guess. I'm sure there will be drama. Hoping to get a bit more downtime to share pictures of the carnage as it plays out. I wish I had video of the engine parts falling off the car as I raised it on jackstands a couple of days. Nothing more frightening than hearing bangs and cracking noises while lifting a car up. It was all good...just the cam gear falling thru the engine bay and hitting the floor. :-) Edited February 8, 2018 by boxkita Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Reading about Higgins' Isle of Man car needing new rings every 400 miles, makes think this is really a folly. At race pace at Portland, that's about 2 hours. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, an LS swapped, RWD, 6 spd manual 4th gen LGT wagon is up there on the 'cars I'd really like to build' list. I could suck start a snow blower.

boxkita Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 where should we all start sending our parts requests? Boxkita.used.parts@gmail.com? Have too many boxkita email addresses. Pm me here. I'll get you a quote and space on the parts rack. I picked up 2 Home Depot sized racks for storing parts. 3 hoods, 2 full bumper sets, 3 exhaust systems, 4 cars... I'm hoping that's enough to get thru a season. Re-reading old posts, I don't think I have enough. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
