This thread worthless without pics…

That said, you have a reputation for some pretty cool rides, and you’ve been around here for a while, so I’ll give you a pass….

the red shark is bought and will be delivered by christmas

I will be selling a very pretty 03 anniversary to pay for it

plus some other stuff off the ttix z06 which will be the doomsday build (hope I get it done and wallet holds out, I don't do my own work much anymore)

the old ttix turbo system and iron block build will go too if I don't have to give it away

900 hp to go nice system, but the huron needs a home as it's a potent combo

I may be interested in the TTIX components for my LS swapped RX7. I'd like to see if any of these low mount setups will fit inside that chassis and I'm local.

best way to verify fitment is I can loan you stuff but it should fit as turbo are small t3/t4 hybrid
cool project

ttix is good for about 1000, more if you push it

PM me your phone number

Merry Christmas.

Your only duty is to Don a Santa hat, some shades, maybe even a Santa beard and go quality test the rubber on the tires. Gotta check that sleigh out!

the old crip can still drive a stick!! I was worried the weak legs would have problems with a heavy clutch. It was a bit of a challenge but the shark drives nice.

time to bang some gears The autos were getting boring Its nice to have full control

Nice car, Ron. I'm probably going Tigershark on my 2001 6spd roadster, too.

the lsx and d1sc are a potent combo and very durable

I'm a turbo lover but I couldn't pass this one up

lots of money spent back in 2013. sad how much those prices have gone up

especially the 376 b15 crate motor

roughly doubled in price

the d1sc has plenty of go for now 620 at the tire

I will keep the vettes that have fresh engines and forced induction

I definitely want to do the front bumper again but not 100% sure about the rear, yet.

Glad to see you still own the Lingenfelter ZR-1, after all these years.
