Vanishing Point Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 This is my project car I have only put 3000miles on it in 3 years.Best guess this is a 12 second street car that spools faster then stock.$7000 Everything works except the cruise.

blkmag_bx Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 how many times has the motor been sprayed. i can see a n.o.s set up on the motor and how big of a shot do you have it set up for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanishing Point Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have used the NOS probably 2 dozen times. I used it alot at first to get the jets worked out. 75hp jetsAt a car show in town a dyno was brought in and for $50 you could get 2 pulls. The NOS worked out to be 40hp and 40lbs of torque.I tried the 100hp jets, but I felt a surge so I went back to the 75s.Recently I bypassed the coolant around the intake manifold and that has added alot of spunk.Hp maxes quickly(3500rpm) but straight lines through 6000rpm. Changing the turbo to a TDO6 or a t3/4 would cause the torque to peak latter and give alot better HP numbers, but at the cost of lag.This car can run 12s and be a great autocross car. The car has fresh paint, decals a great interior and is a very fast streetable car. I have only seen one nicer, but not as fast. The only reason I dont ask $10000 for it is it has a Salvage title. I kind of got carried away with fixing it up and finally decided it wasnt worth anymore money.Probably be better off parting it out, but that would be a shame.Im in no hurry to dump her IM just getting to many vehicles and have my eye on a STI. I really would hate to see her sit and rot away it really is to nice for that.In the end shes probably a better cruiser then race car, but its not far to go to race car. It would be nice if someone here got it. If anyone wants more pics I have them I just cant get anymore to load up on motorpide. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanishing Point Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Almost forgot. I was having trouble with vapor lock, so I bought a carbon fiber hood cut out the scoop, and rapped the turbo and down pipe. I let it idle for 2 minutes and havent had a problem.

Jayton Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I honestly think you would get more interest if you removed the Starsky and Hutch stripes. Just trying to help you out, not trying to dog you or anything. Seems like a very nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanx26 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Very nice car. Kind of disappoints me that your looking into STI's :oops:, Go big or go home, get an EVO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanishing Point Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Starsky and Hutch stripe is painted on so I cant remove it. The original hood has a white stripe down the middle. I wanted something alittle old school, not to flashy, I kind of thought S&H was long enough ago it would look good again.I had a 05 STI a year ago that I had to get rid of to get a car Jr. could learn how to drive with. Loved that carJr. PASSED HIS DRIVERS TEST I plan to mod it, so IM afraid the Conquest wouldnt get much attention and Conquests need attention. That and the insurance load. ](*,) Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
