View Full Version : New from Summerville

Been living in Summerville for about 3 years now, just recently heard about this forum. I have 2 z28's, a 98 and an 00. The 2000 used to be my daily driver until I got a company car and after that happened its been in CT. The end of May I will finally have that car at my house again. The 98 has a cam and the usual, but will stay in CT at my fathers (lift and climate controlled garage haha)...
The 2000 will have headers hopefully by the time I get it down here or shortly after, a slp dual dual catback, ls6 intake and a lid....just a regular bolt on car, but much more fun to drive around than my company car! Its red so if you see it down here, thats me (may have CT plates on it for a while). Long term goal is a blown ls3, but for now the bolt on ls1 will have to do...
My 98 is going to be a c5r headed 427 one day (I have the c5r heads and a few other things, but need about an extra 15k to finish the rest of the motor...)
Most of you may shake your heads, but I am in the middle of a project that I am HOPING will be done soon. It is still at the shop for welding (I can't weld unfortunately), but I am hoping it will be complete soon. It is a shifter kart chassis that I am modifying to fit on a 2007 zx10r motor. I am hoping I can take it to the local 1/8th mile once its completed to see what she will do...
Are there any car shows/cruise nights around here besides SSS which I heard starts at like 10pm?? Something a little earlier would be nicer. Back in CT there for 4 days a week minimum that I could go to a car show/cruise night during the summer, now that I am in perpetual summer SC, there is nothing around it seems which is odd...
Dont be afraid to say hi if you see me driving around once my car is here, look forward to meeting some fellow gear heads in the area

Thats a picture of my kart chassis before I sent it to a shop in Charleston to mate it to my motor. I do not have any pictures of my camaros or the motor on my work computer, but I will add them when I get back home this week.
Do any of you guys go to the drag strip often? (Is there like a "street night" at the one thats in jedburg?) I haven't made it there yet (embarrassing since I live so close...)
Thanks for the warm welcoming!

welcome yosh!
Bowman (watch for threads) is pretty "street night" in between the scheduled races, in other words, you can get in ~5 runs a nigh test & tune.
post up a "shifter karts at bowman" thread, and see what they say. Good guys up there.
excellent baloney sammiches :)

For some odd reason I had to re-register to post again? I don't know whats up with that.
Either way, I finally got one of my camaro's down here. I took a few pictures of it. I would love to get out Saturday with it, but looks like I have a job out of town. I will definitely try to get out next Saturday weather permitting.

Its a 00 Z28 w/ a halfway de-stickered 35th anniversary ss hood, ss spoiler, 18" zr1 style rims (yes, 18" not 17"), trans am leather interior (for the superior seats vs the camaro seats), and still has the blowmaster (flowmaster) exhaust on it for now and a lid. Headers and slp dual dual didn't make it on in time, but I am going to ship them down here to install in the next couple weeks hopefully...Not sure what my plans are for it in the next year, maybe a d1sc procharger kit who knows...

Welcome! Your subdivision looks familiar. Do you live in Carriage Lane by chance? The house number style and cheap mailbox's are the same as mine. If so, welcome to the neighborhood too!

Illusions - Nah, I live off Jedburg Road. I wish I had some other gear heads livin around me haha. I have a Corvette guy near me, but he is all about show instead of go... And I do have a yellow mustang gt around the corner from me that sounds pretty good like it has at least headers, maybe some internal mods too...

I used to DD it, but now you may see it a few days a week once the bugs are gone.
