Cindy's Iroc R/T resto

[iTurbo]

Totally agree with the 2nd part.

Sounded like more elitist BS to me.

Which begs the question.. what is more elitist: building your hp, or buying it with a warranty
Just messing with ya!

Burrow your hoist for a few minutes and wash the underbody and show them pics of that......

More outside and underside pics will come but not until I get the paint and windshield taken care of!.... so expect more pics in 2 weeks!!

And Cindy,please remind Carroll Roberts that he is GAY

Carroll already knows!!!

Looks good, I like the IC tubes. Are they stainless?

yes, Jackson's stainless welder guy does great work!! those pipes are 2-3 pieces welded, grinded and polished that you can't even see where the seam is at.

[glhs727]

The screen is going to be temporary. I'm not a big fan of the screen as a long term item. The screen only keeps the big stuff out. And it is a steel mesh, not the fiberglass stuff. that wouldn't last a day....

[Turbo224]

And the dipstick, what is going on there? I like how it is relocated, is this possible with stock TIII dipstick/tube?

T3's had two different dip stick tubes. Mine has that one.

[JohnnyIroc]

do i see holes already drilled in the intake for the meth kit?

nice work!
this car looks awesome

I gotta be honest winning a race with the csrt DOES feel a bit like cheating.

Awesome work on the car guys! Cindy I'm still waiting/hoping for the TIII CSXT project thread.. I've always wondered what you guys were going to do with that car.

Cindy I'm still waiting/hoping for the TIII CSXT project thread.. I've always wondered what you guys were going to do with that car.

That car is pretty much done. It runs and drives, although it has only gone down to the gas station and back (Jackson drove it to the gas station and ran out before he got there, I had to rescue him with a gallon of gas so he could make it the rest of the way to the gas station LOL!)

There is a couple of interior dash pieces that need to be put in along with a radio and some other minor stuff. I totally lost interest in the car after I bought the birthday car. This t-3 csx-t is for sale, so if you know anyone interested, send them my way. I'm asking $7500 OBO, and I'm willing to deal....
later,
Cindy

Yes, I am going with a direct port set-up using (4) #5 nozzles, available through FWD Performance!! LOL I even bought a 55 gallon drum of methanol. I got such a great deal that even Jackson got himself a 55 gallon drum!!

You may be right, but every TIII I've had has the dipstick tube secured to the intake manifold bolt right next to the PCV separator box.

T3's had two different dip stick tubes. Mine has that one.

I have seen a lot of TIII cars and never seen one with the dip stick next to the seperator box. Maybe that was an 8 valve tube made to fit?

The first picture is from a wrecked R/T that i bought, and it very well could be a T2 tube, the second pic is my pilot car. I wouldnt be surprised if someone just figured all the turbo cars were the same when ordering a new one.

[iTurbo]

That's wierd. But yeah, all three Spirit R/T's I've seen had the dipstick tube next to the separator box. Very close to what Tyler posted but more right in between the runners, with the tube clamp bolted piggyback onto one of the intake manifold attaching bolts. Never realized it was wrong that way! I like the tube coming up behind the ignition coil better. What should the tube clamp bolt onto in that area though?

[forcedfedmopar]

the tube is the same. you can swing it to either location. the first time i had my rt together i had it infront of the intake. i didnt like it there case of the radiator hose so the next time i had the intake off i swung it to the ds behind the intake.

Interesting. Maybe some of the dealers out that way fubared the tube during the cylinder head replacements and that is how they figured it was before and happened to fit decently? I've seen many of them out east and never saw the tube in front of the manifold like that.

There is a flange bolt on the intake manifold right there behind the coil.

Looks awesome guys,

Why no adjustable cam gears?

Totally agree with the 2nd part.

"I cant get 26psi out of my 8valve without blowing it up, but i heard tIII was better so maybe i should buy that RARE stuff and break IT now!"

Hey, I represent that.

[Captain Chaos]

The good screen door stuff is wire mesh, not fiberglass. Not saying thats what his screen is...just saying.

[Lotashelbys]

Ok just to clear this big "dipstick contraversy" up its correct on Cindys car. Thats the way they were from the factory and the dipstick and tube are longer for the TIII than the 8valves. There is a attachment that loops around the stick and is held on by the farthest intake bolt to the drivers side.

[iTurbo]

Thanks for clearing that up Jackson. Looks like I got some minor updating to do on my cars.

That reminds me, the white Spirit R/T I bought in Des Moines a couple years ago actually didn't have a dipstick at all. It was one of those little things that the previous owner forgot to mention. I went to check the oil and the hole in the block is JB Welded shut! I can only hope it can still be drilled out. I changed the oil about 20 miles after buying it and there was at least 8 quarts in there. No wonder it was smokin haha.
