Here's my new car, had to retire my 1993 Passat VR6.

I originally had the motor and tranny rebuilt, the crank and flywheel had to be repaired and got it painted a metalic green. Since then a few things have been upgraded: eurolight taillights, toucan intake customized to fit s/c, custom lightweight crank and alternator pulley, pacesetter 4-1 armor coated header, eaton mp45 s/c from GM performance, 2.6" s/c pulley, headlight covers, green xenon bulbs, Motegi MR7 16" rims with 225/50/16 General tires, a Cosmo Racing short throw shifter w/ knob, Tuner FX Racing seats, custom 2.5" exhaust system with high flow cat, 3" magnaflow race series muffler, KYB AGX's, eibach pro-kit springs, poly control arm bushings/upper and lower engine mounts/tranny mounts, EBC cross-drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk carbon pads, Snow performance alky injection with 225 ml/min nozzle, OBX TBS - bored out to 60mm (have alky nozzle tapped into TBS), stock TB bored to 58mm, Wings West W-Type body kit, bully stage 3 clutch, Team Green LSD and SPEC flywheel. 

Finally got the car tuned. I have since done more tuning and added a larger methanol nozzle, we picked up 7-12whp till 5000rpm and an extra 15whp above 6000rpm.

Finally got to a decent track the last weekend in August. With a not so perfect launch I pulled off a 14.32 @ 96.15mph.

 

Here is a couple videos of me running 14.5 @ 93.3mph and a vid of me running a 1984 5.0L Mustang GT (mustang had better reaction time but I had a better 1/4 time).

Here is a video of me racing an SRT-4...it was a fairly close race but the little cavalier come out on top. We both ran a 14.4 but I had a much better reaction time and 60ft. Thought he would take me out of the hole since he had a full slick but never saw him once the whole way down.

http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae231/2000greenz24/Videos/?action=view&current=Miramichi118.flv

Me racing a 2008 Mustang GT. Killed him out of the hole and never saw him the rest of the way.

Another race of me and a 80's Malibu. He pulled hard at the first (tree was dialed in for our target times so he left before me) but I caught him on the top end. It was a close race but snuck by at the end.

Not my best pass thats for sure (I was having traction issues and warm temps) but I can add another Mustang GT to my list of cars I've beat. Its funny at the end of the pass the announcer says "probably turbo or maybe nitrous" :)

Dyno video is down on the page next to my dyno graph.

 

So I thought the car had no more modifications in the future but have now decided to start another winter project starting in the fall when I put the car away. Its going to begin with a fully built engine, some P&P, cams, forged internals (just the routine upgrades). Then putting together a turbo kit. Right now I am kinda looking at a T3/TO4E turbo but still deciding what to go with. It will be interesting to see what it puts down.

When I get the car back on the road I'm gonna take some more up to date pics. A lot of the ones here are older. The further down on the page the more recent they are.

This is my car when I first bought it - after its first paint job and engine job

Got some rims from a buddy...the tires were too small but ran them for the summer anyways because they came on the rims. Looks like they are floating in the wheel wells.

This is the car last summer. I can't tell if I have it lowered then or not. For some reason I don't think it is. I'll have some better pics soon.

On the dyno for tuning.

Here is a dyno video I have...it was taken at an early tuning session. I think this pull has somewhere around 180whp.

http://s975.photobucket.com/albums/ae231/2000greenz24/Videos/?action=view&current=DynoVideo.flv

So here is my most recent dyno graph from my tuning. Got back on the dyno for a little more tuning. Picked up 7-12whp from 2500-5000rpm and an extra 15whp from 6000-6600rpm. I haven't been back to the track with the new tune but it pulls much harder up top now.

Final numbers were 190whp and 187wtq. It will be interesting to see what the car puts down next season with the built engine and turbo.

Heres a pic of my truck...got it for a winter vehicle cause the cavalier isn't much good in the snow anymore. Not much done to it, just a flowmaster exhaust and Voxx 20" rims.
