Re: updating / backdating engines

well the car originally was a 13B engine (GSL-SE). Now that it in my possession, i can start working on it. The biggest thing is where not using a GSLSE 13B will put me. They are not easy to come by. But they are only a stones throw away from the S4 engines. So im thinking either IT or the step above.

updating / backdating engines

i want to run a later model 13B engine in my FB mostly for two reasons, primarily is the higher output, but secondly the 12a engine is hard to find anymore and the parts for them are usually extremely worn. What kind of class bump am i going to experience with this? I was tossing around the idea of ...

New Project

So after carefully examining the rust on the omni, and missing a few key parts (L Body intermediate shaft....) i decided to part the Omni out. But I'm still on the hunt to finish a hill climb event. Recently i acquired some shop space, got myself moved in and started turning it into a little economi...

Re: Prepping a Dodge Omni GLH Turbo

i have no idea why i was thinking SM2. I don't have the rule book down yet (and i've been doing WAY to much schoolwork) the brakes on the GLH omni are actually pretty stout. Im planning on using the charger rear end for disc rears as well which are about 11.25" rotors if i remember correctly. B...

I am still looking for a nice tall rear end gear for my 1st Gen if you know of any available? If I can help you with y...

Re: first race of 2008

my biggest set back would be actually GETTING my car there. I can probably get everything else together for the car. Its just the whole living in cleveland thing. Probably a good 6-7 hour drive to the events for me.
