    Default Project "NS GS"

    Project NICE and SIMPLE GRAND SPORT...

    Well as many of you have seen...I relisted the car for sale. Not for any other reason than because I wanted to thin the group... and well because its a TPI and not a beloved LTX.

    Well after many lowball offers...and after my "serious" buyer backing out there are new plans.

    With the help.of a good friend... I plan to have the L98 pulled out... and the engine bay cleaned up.and simplified.

    Its a wiring mess from conjoining multiple cars of different years together;


    With that being said... I plan to have a CARBD LTX built for the car and installed as well.

    (I know I know...why a carb? Simply because I wan a keep this project simple... no opti... no computer contolled... and with all the wiring and mess that is under the hood... a harness modification would be ugly as it is already very very "modified."

    The plan is a H(not positive about heads/C/I set up and the ability to take a 200 or 260 hit...


    Once that is squared away... some odds and end maint...

    -alot of play in the steering wheel...needs a new rag joint and shaft I believe.

    -small cage

    -upgrade half shafts

    -prob will need to upgrade ds

    -needs bushings and maybe a torque tube mount (thump under the car when launching)

    -look into going to another member ( @arod ) here for some body work to the fiberglass pained quarters.









    In the end... I love the gs look...amd I think this could be a fun SIMPLE project.

    Sooooo stay tuned. (If u want).

    BTW...the car is still listed on CL for sale. So if someone has the 4k or more before the work begins...I will sell it
