the bulldozer, formly known as the beast, as most people would call this thing. it's big, it's ugly, it's got buttloads of torque, and can kill deer with one hit. i bought this car for a winter beater two years ago, and it still runs quite well after two years of curb abuse. i bought it for $950 bucks after browsing the paper for cars/trucks under 1 grand. well it's official, i traded her in for a new old car. i received 250 dollars for the trade.

Way to go with the namechange. I think "The Beast" or "Beast" is becoming the most common name on boompa. I looove the paint job you've got going on. The bastard looks like he just blew through a snowdrift.
HAHAHA !
Props for a TANK beater, I own a nice snow drifting machine, however it's going to the Junkyard soon :(

for some reason something in boompa deleted my previous history a few months back and i haven't gotten around to restoring it. well, i'll restore it now.
my parents and i back in 2003 went and bought this car for $8000,(only i could go $600 higher and i could have got the TT300zx) anyways, it HAD just under 110 thousand miles on it at the time. now she's pushing 171thousand, (road trips, many of them)
i made a few upgrades here and there, not many, but enough to get me by with saying "basic upgrades" now i have started my most ambitious project to date, a complete turbo setup! many people ahve already the same thing y'all are wondering, "why not go get a gst/gsx eclipse?" in my eyes, it's not cost efficient to sell the spyder and get a gst that could possibly have an automatic in it. and THEN have to spend a few thousand to bring the power and handling to my tastes. i'm pretty much there with everything but power in the spyder right now.
anyways, the turbo is a 14b, and i'm still shopping for the other parts on ebay and likewise. 14b equals quick spool, quick take-off, not much for high speed driving.
more to come!!
enjoy!
i just bought this car on monday june 19, 2006. i traded in the Eagle "Bulldozer" for this car. it's a 1978 Chevy El Camino SS with the Malibu front end. this SS has a 305 in it though. the build sheet was included in the car, and has SS specified on it along with a posi-track rear end.
*update*
i just recently found out that from the original build sheet that came with the car, that i have a turbo 350 transmission. which is awesome for getting parts. and that the rear end ratio is 2.73, which stinks for acceleration, i plan on upgrading to 3.10's or something similar.
i also just got the car back, (December 5th) from the shop. i took it to a dealership which i shouldn't have done, but in the end, you still have to pay money. anyways, the problem parts list. -2 broken valve springs, -3 bent valves, complete valve job, resurface heads, and a good tune-up. and good god, she purrs and growls at the same time. takes off like a bat out of hell too, scared one of the local "i can beat anyone" kind of RICER with the hardcore turbo-350 shift from first to second.
This is 4g64and258's friend's rides:
i'm sorry for this Phil, but your car is a true ricer. i mean look at all the vinyl on your car. the headlights, windshield, above the door handles, duct tape on the taillights, come on dude. just joking, i doubt you'll ever read this.
