Nice, I see camero's every so often driving around when i'm in the states visiting family.

did you have a fly or something on the camera lens

what will you be doing with the interior?

Thats actually something on the inside of the lens of my iphone, prob caused by too many impacts with the floor.

I'm going to keep the interior pretty simple with more supportive seats and a less bus like steering wheel.

Found it

Cos500

One of my favourite cars, I'm sure you'll do it justice, certainly doesn't need turbos, will be more than a handful with an ls motor

Just trying to decide what to do about the engine, an LS3 is pretty reasonable new but the supercharger kit is more than the engine cost which seems a bit crazy!

Caddyshack

You can buy the coyote or hellcat ready to run for about 12k can't you? 700bhp with loom, Ecu and everything ready to run and has a 2 yr warranty. Pulley swap is no money.

It really needs to be a GM engine (specifically an LS) Toby.

Caddyshack

Ah, gotcha.

I bet there are a few supercharger kits second hand over there. One of my mates has contacts there in the muscle car scene if you want me to ask or do you only want new

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

I'm going to buy new, don't fancy used stuff tbh.

LS9 crate engine ?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

That's a possibility, was leaning towards the Edelbrock LS416 but not sure whether all the extra cost over a std crate LS3 will all be worth it.

Caddyshack

Ls3 is a good engine, looking forward to seeing the finished result.

I spoke to your chap the other day about the comp th 17's on your site, he was going to call them and see if avail but didn't hear back, Should I assume they are not available? (17x8 et35)

Call ultima cars up and ask them for one of there ls engine motors , the super charged one puts out 1010 bhp from there factory and they make everything you need i.e. Manifolds , electronics etc etc . Wouldn't like to know the price thou lol.

Cheers paul

Caddyshack

I think they publish a lot of prices on their site....good call that.

zetaboostboy522bhp

They used to have a full price list of every component , now you have to email but still no problem.

Cheers paul

Anyone would have to go some to create one as good as Tim Allen's, but will be watching with interest : )

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Yes his car is nice but making one as good as that isn't a problem, there are several cars that have been done that I'd rate above his. I certainly wont be flaring the wings as his car looks a bit awkward from certain angles.

More goodies have arrived... 525hp in a box

Caddyshack

That's the way to do it. Is that ls3?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Yes LS3, the 525hp version.

Caddyshack

And will you supercharge it?

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

Maybe eventually but I bought the factory ecu/loom/electric throttle etc with the map already done so will try that first, plug and play will make a quick install.

Now thats an engine. Twin turbos ftw.

Caddyshack

I am pretty sure 525 and all the torque that comes with it will be pretty lively anyway.
